Don’t fear the dot. A pattern as old as time and as identifiable as stripes, polka dots are worn by men not nearly as often as I’d like to see. Why, guys?

Sure, it’s important not to go overboard with your dots. That’s why wearing polka-dot accent pieces like shoes, scarves, ties, or wallets is is a perfect way to wear the look without drowning in a sea of spots.

Below, three ways to wear dots:
