Polka dots have been a timeless print in women’s fashion for decades — playful enough for brunch with friends, yet polished enough for your most important meeting. At Tea & Tailored, we believe true style lies in the duality between playful and powerful, which is why our Manhattan Minute Dress was designed to move seamlessly throughout your day.
This dress blends romantic details (bubble sleeves, subtle volume) with structured tailoring, making it the perfect piece for the woman who doesn’t want to choose between soft and strong. Here’s how to style it two ways:
Look 1: Workday Chic
For the office, it’s all about balancing personality with professionalism.
-
Pair the Manhattan Minute Dress with a sharp black blazer for authority.
-
Add pointed-toe pumps in nude or black to elongate the legs.
-
Keep jewelry minimal: delicate studs or a thin gold chain.
-
Finish with a sleek structured handbag.
This look says: I’m here to be taken seriously, but I won’t blend into the background.
Look 2: Weekend Playful
When the workweek ends, the same dress can turn into your favorite off-duty staple.
-
Swap the blazer for a cropped denim jacket or soft cardigan.
-
Trade pumps for white sneakers or ballet flats.
-
Add a crossbody bag and oversized sunglasses for effortless cool.
-
Play with accessories — a silk hair scarf or chunky hoops add personality.
Suddenly, your polished office look becomes brunch- or shopping-ready in seconds.
