Re: Spotted/dotted shirts
Polka dots remind me of 1950ies girls skirts...i cannot see them working as a pattern for a man
Arthur spooner could wear polka dot half sleeve shirts though.

Re: Spotted/dotted shirts
I'd wear em with bigger dots and a stronger base colour....In fact I think they'd look great in Silk...
.....I'm thinking Chelsea Set circa 68

Re: Spotted/dotted shirts
Right, if done in a Op-Art kind of way it may work.
But the example I posted above is a very dreadful one.

Re: Spotted/dotted shirts
The problem with that shirt is that the base colour is 'gutless'. Its a washed out shade of blue...
...I don't mind the smaller Polka, but prefer a bigger Polka meself...
IIRC the rockstar Prince is fond of Polka dots...
