Spotty clothes or stripes! Which do you prefer!

I keep seeing this which I love, but she's a lot younger than me.

I wouldn't wear it now, and they weren't around 50 years ago!

I guess I'm a sucker for anything to do with nature.

Love that pic fanny ?

Small polka dots or stripes. Very rarely wear anything flowery and dislike most animal prints apart from maybe a scarf or bag.

Stripes every time, almost a signature look on me. Like Casdon a flowery design makes me feel as if I'm wearing curtains although I like them on other people.

Some flowery patterns can be awful of course. They don't all look like curtains. But then some spots and stripes can be awful too. Patterns vary so much, you just go with how they make you feel when you see them. It's an instant attraction...or not.

I like both spots and stripes. I hate flowery clothes, they make me feel like I’m wearing my nanna’s curtains. I don’t like flowery fabric in the house either, I don’t know why.

I like stripes.

Don't like spots or stripes. I'm a flowery person. I love dresses with small flowers or paisley type patterns, leafy patterns maybe. But I mostly I wear plain these days, with a patterned scarf or something colourful to add interest.

Never really thought about it but I suppose I must favour stripes (vertical only!) since I don't recollect ever having anything polka dot. Must have at some time. Guess I didn't love it enough to remember.

I like polka dots in black & white specially with black jeggings horizontal stripes don't do me any favours as I am a wee bit top heavy but vertical I can live with tartans I think look better on cushion covers grin

Polka dots always make me think of these lovely girls ♥️
What a look

Small polka dots and vertical stripes are fine. No to horizontal stripes, I’m wide enough already .
Not keen on tartans.

I love stripes and spots, especially small polka dots.

Love Stripes, but haven't got anything Spotty.

But I did fall for the brown and white spotty dress in 'An Officer and a Gentleman'

I love spots and stripes. A lot of my clothes feature them. They are sort of cheerful.

TwiceAsNice Sat 15-Oct-22 10:08:36

I like stripes but not keen on spots but on tops as hate any kind of blouse

PoppyFlower Sat 15-Oct-22 10:05:46

I love both! Horizontal sailor stripes, small polka dots.... Currently loving the zebra print in various colours other than black and white! ???

HeavenLeigh Sat 15-Oct-22 09:54:35

I’m not really a fan of spotty blouses, each to their own of course, but I do love a stripe, whether vertical or horizontal, I also love a leopard and snake print, and a nice bit of tartan.let’s just say I’m clothes mad! Anyone else!
