We all know that the Princess of Wales is a huge fan of polka dot print dresses, and of course Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman springs to mind. But Cat Deeley just showed us the way to put a twist on spots to make the print feel that little bit fresher for autumn/winter 2024.

She hosted This Morning earlier this week, wearing one of the best British clothing brands, Mint Velvet. Her black and white spot print blouse looks much more designer than high street thanks to its tiered sleeves. And teaming it with a pair of black tailored wide leg trousers? A stroke of genius from stylist Rachael Hughes!

Anna Kendrick once said "you can't have a bad day in polka dots," and certainly this cheery top is sure to brighten up grey autumn days. If you prefer the best jeans for your body type over tailored trousers, this is going to be the ultimate jeans and a nice top combination.

Mint Velvet White Polka Dot Ruffle Top

This is the very same top Cat wore when hosting This Morning earlier this week. The bold polka dots certainly make a style statement, and the ruffle sleeves elevate it even further. It's slightly cropped, making it the ideal length to tuck into trousers.

Mint Velvet Black Waist Detail Trousers

Cat's trousers are the Sinclair style by Jane Atelier, however Mint Velvet do have a more affordable option if you want to get your full outfit all in one place! The raw edge on the waistband is a really nice touch.

Mint Velvet Leather Buckle Slingback Heels

These low heels are totally manageable for anyone used to wearing the best white trainers day in and day out. We love the buckle detailing, and these would be the ideal shoes to wear with wide leg trousers.

Can we talk about Mint Velvet for a second? In the last few months it's become a favourite of the fashion team at woman&home, and it's clearly one of Cat's go-to brands as well. We're still swooning over the floral dress she wore back in July, and she's worn Mint Velvet on several occasions since then.

Be sure to check it out if you haven't for a while - their leopard print jeans are the best I've found on the high street, and you can get some amazing bargains in the Mint Velvet sale.

Roman Cream Polka Dot Frill Front Shirred Top

This bargain buy boasts shirred sleeves and a fabulous frill front. Polka dots are never too far from the catwalk so you'll be wearing it for seasons to come.

Sosandar Jersey Polka Dot Keyhole Detail Tunic Top

The little peekaboo cut outs on this top balance out the high neckline really nicely, and the stretchy jersey fabric makes it super comfortable. It's available in sizes 6 to 20, and is machine washable.

Mint Velvet Dot Ruffle Blouse

Another Mint Velvet find, this blouse is a slightly more boho take on the trend. Don't wait too long to decide though, everything seems to sell out on the site very quickly at the moment!
