Polka dots are making a resurgence this season!
Perhaps it’s nostalgia for our favorite childhood print or a new way to add a dainty pattern to otherwise boring basics, but we’re seeing the beloved design pop up everywhere this season. On clothes, accessories, home goods and more!
The newer versions have an elevated update: The dots are smaller, the cuts are fresher and the colors are more unexpected than traditional black and white offerings.
Adding a dash (or a heavy dose) of spots promises to inject some Parisian chicness into your style, so look no further than these 20 selects for your next, most cheerful of-the-moment outfit!
