Liven up the look with a new take on the trend as seen on this dress from Dorothy Perkins. It's funky and fun and has injected some youthful spirit into a traditional trend.
There is nothing to say that you have to go over the top with this trend to be stylish. A simple, tailored jacket is often all it needs to finish a look with that all important fashion know-how.
