If there’s one thing we’ve learnt this year, it’s that the more colour combinations, the better when it comes to looking chic. Back in March at the Oscars, Jessie Buckley wore a bespoke off the shoulder Chanel gown in bold red and pretty pink, a colour combination that was especially complementary, as both colours are sister shades.
However, as we started to creep towards summer, brown and blue started to dominate our favourite high street heroes, from M&S to Zara. The most common pattern this marriage of colour was designed in? Polka dots, which updated the timeless motif, giving it modern charm in both small and oversized spots.
But now, there’s a new colour combination giving the spotty print yet another lease of life. Yellow and black polka dots have started to take over, and I’ve found a brilliant skirt from Next that makes wearing the atypical trend feel so easy and chic.

As part of TV show host Rochelle Humes’ collection, The Rochelle Series, the swishy maxi skirt is the ultimate staple waiting to be worn this summer, no matter where you decide to spend it. Featuring chic shirred detailing for a flattering, subtly nipped in effect at the waist, it’s finished with an airy skirt that’s perfect for welcoming a cool breeze during the balmy months we’re currently enjoying.

The best part? It’s not just pretty to look at; it’s designed with practicality in mind. Crafted from 100% cotton, this skirt will keep you cool when temperatures spike, while its soft fabric means it’s incredibly comfortable for day to day wear. That, and the fact it’s elasticated.
