Spring is just around the corner, and if you’re someone who keeps an eye on fashion trends, you’re probably eager to know what’s going to make waves in the upcoming season. Although the major fashion shows shared their predictions back in September last year, we believe that street style offers a much clearer picture of what’s currently trending. Recently, attendees at Copenhagen Fashion Week have showcased some key styles that are already making a statement: polka dots, soft shades of pink, and rich browns.
So, it was a delightful surprise to find a chic high street piece that encompasses all these elements. The polka dot ruched mesh long-sleeve top from Next, which combines chocolate brown and pink, is not only stylish but also features the season's most sought-after colors and prints.
This top boasts a flattering slash neckline and elegant side ruching, making it the perfect choice for the classic 'jeans and a nice top' vibe. For a laid-back weekend look, pair it with light wash denim in a trendy barrel leg cut, along with some ballet flats for comfort. When you need to dress up for a date night or a night out with friends, switch to dark wash wide-leg jeans and add a pair of kitten heels to elevate your outfit.
If you find the sheer mesh a bit too revealing, no worries—just wear a camisole underneath for added coverage!
Additionally, if you prefer a timeless look, this design is also available in a classic black and white polka dot option for those who love minimalist fashion.
For those wanting something lighter, there’s an ecru and black version that brings brightness into the mix. And let’s not overlook the brown and blue variant; this color combination began gaining popularity in 2025, and cobalt blue is emerging as another must-have shade for Spring/Summer 2026 that competes with the charm of brown and pink.
Why not get one in every color? It’s a great way to diversify your wardrobe while staying on-trend!
