Unless you've been living under a fashion rock, you'll know that polka dots are *the* pattern of the season. The timeless design has been trending just in time for spring, appearing on everything from slinky drape tops to chocolate-brown balloon jeans.
The latest high-street store to jump on the trend is Primark, which has just released this super flattering halter neck peplum top. The design — which wouldn't look out of place at a fancy garden party — is complete with a classic black-on-cream colour scheme for vintage vibes, and features a chic plunging V-front and structured bodice. The top also has a playful peplum waist that adds volume and definition, while the halter neck and sleeveless cut create a sophisticated and elegant feel.
Available in sizes 6 through to 20, the top is an affordable £16, so it won't break the bank. It also means that you won't feel too bad purchasing the matching wide-leg trousers (£18), which, together, give ultimate Amalfi Coast dinner feels.
Need style inspiration? If you're not one for a co-ord set (which would also pair perfectly with some black slip-on kitten heels, like on the model), the top would look stunning with a black satin maxi slip skirt. Or, for more casual vibes, pair with some light barrel jeans and white trainers. However you decide to style the top, it's sure to be a spring wardrobe staple for many years to come.
