Denim trends seem to come and go with the weather (skinny, baggy, low-rise, what’s next?), but the polka-dot print is one statement style that’s stood the test of time.
Be it on dresses, blouses, or even pants, the retro pattern adds a vintage nod of sophistication to every outfit it graces while maintaining a bit of playful fun, which is why it continues to be a standout pick for celebrities this summer. Katy Perry wore a classic version of the print in the form of a black and white micro-dotted necktie while attending the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London (complete with pearl earrings and vintage-inspired shades).
Speaking of Wimbledon, Kate Middleton loves the print so much she re-wore the navy and white polka-dotted dress she sported at last year’s tournament to the Hope Street opening ceremony. And Reese Witherspoon recently opted for a puff-sleeved style similar to the Princess of Wales’ pick in an Instagram post documenting her summer adventures.

Kate is somewhat of a mascot for polka dots. In fact, she rarely goes a spring or summer without wearing them (see: her Garter Day dress or the one she wore to show off her baking skills), and that’s likely because they’re so versatile — fit for watching tennis and hosting important community events.
Even for those of us who aren’t royals, the print serves as a multipurpose summer staple worthy of showing off in group photos at showers, weddings, and even on vacation.

The high-low smocked style is see-through with a matching liner for a multidimensional look.
And more than 1,300 shoppers have given the dress a five-star rating, touting the wrapped design, V-neck detail, and sheer puff sleeves. One person called it “very comfortable” and “very flattering,” adding that they “get compliments every time” they wear it.

If you’re not a dress person, you can still join the polka-dot party with a patterned top like this red-and-white Milumia blouse. The cap sleeves and keyhole back maintain the print’s vintage charm, and it comes in a variety of other colors. Many of its 2000+ five-star raters say its flowy, loose fit makes it ideal for warm weather outings. One reviewer said: “Drape is wonderful and can be dressed up or casual.”
