Topshop's cult polka-dot dress has had a snakeskin makeover for autumn
Snakeskin dress, £65 SHOP NOW
Update 17.10.18:
Topshop has brought its cult dress from this summer back once again, this time in the form of a much more autumn-appropriate snakeskin print.
The dress taps into the very prominent animal-print trend of AW18 and would look excellent styled with a black polo-neck and ankle boots. If you do want to snap it up, however, you will need to act fast as the original polkadot dress sold out very quickly, as did every other reincarnation of the dress.
Original story 10.08.18:
Topshop's cult polka-dot dress has proven to be the hit of the summer, so it comes as little surprise to discover that the retailer has reissued the design in a new colourway.
The latest version taps into one of the biggest trends of the season - animal print -joining other must-have items, such as the leopard-print skirt that's been all over your Instagram feed.

The original polka-dot dress, in white with black spots, caused a storm on social media when it launched, selling out almost immediately (even when it was re-stocked, it instantly sold out again). It inevitably found its way onto Ebay; at one point, there were 26 listings on the bidding site for the dress - all at or over £200, almost four times its £55 price tag. It was later released in a reverse version; black with white spots - which is still available.
Now, not only can you buy the design in the covetable new zebra print, but in a bold 80s-inspired floral design, a vibrant blue jacquard and a scarf print, too.
Cobalt blue, £59 BUY 80s floral, £55 BUY
