Polka Dots And Camouflage Are In This Season (But Not Together, Please!): NNN Style

Butch camouflage and whimsical polka-dot patterns are both big for fall 2013—popping up on shirts, shoes, sweaters, accessories and more. Camo has been on the style board for some time, ever since designers began tweaking the military pattern with Day-Glo colors. Polka dots have been a style staple at least since the 1960s, but this year the pattern is really making the rounds, from couture to street fashion.
