Polka Dot Parade: Your Guide to Summer’s Hottest Print
Polka dots are dominating this year’s warm-weather wardrobes, popping up on everything from sundresses to crossbody purses.
Hi, I’m Quinn Parker and trust me, I’m running on espresso and a serious case of dot mania. I have THOUGHTS and FEELINGS, and we need to talk about these spots before they vanish off every shopping site known to humankind.
First off, get ready to snag a designer steal because Michael Kors just dropped a polka dot bag for only $69 (regularly $448), and it’s basically the accessories world equivalent of finding money in your old jeans. I spotted it front and center on their site and I’m pretty sure it’s going extinct by next Tuesday.
Over at Revolve, the SNDYS x Revolve dress with that sheer panel is serving modern glam-meets-retro vibes, and a reviewer confessed, “It was absolutely adorable and I got a ton of compliments! I wore it with a black scarf which made it even cuter!” That means two things: one, you’ll slay any outdoor brunch, and two, you need to act fast because “adorable” always translates to “sell out alarm.”
If you’re after a flirty top for your nine-to-five or happy hour, check out the navy blue polka dot style with flutter sleeves and an open back. It goes up to XL so you and your plus-one can match. Speaking of plus-size friendly finds, an off-the-shoulder polka dot bodysuit comes in sizes up to 3X, ready to pair with denim or a flirty skirt for instant “effortless chic.”
Amazon is serving Y2K realness with a polka dot tube top that comes with a matching scarf and multiple color options. Wear it with flared jeans for a full throwback moment or tuck it under a blazer for an unexpected office remix.
Accessories alert: the polka dot trunk crossbody bag arrives in four colorways—“daisy yellow,” “red clay,” “navy,” and a sophisticated “luggage” brown—so you can rotate spots all week long. Kate Spade also got in on the dot game with a stylish crossbody purse priced at $85, making red-and-white romantic dots feel like a date-night must-have.
For those who love a midi moment, there’s a satin-like polka dot skirt that nailed the midi length chef’s-kiss style. Pair it with a cami or an oversized tee, and you’ll walk out looking like you just stepped off a European café terrace.
Abercrombie is joining the party with polka dots, denim, and more summer essentials, all at 20 percent off. Whether you’re shopping for a festival outfit or updating your coastal vacay wardrobe, dots are having a full-blown takeover and you do not want to be left behind.
Okay, I need to calm down after that shopping spree-in-my-head!
