Polka dots have recently become one of my favorite prints replacing stripes as my typical go to. Not only are polka dots a classic, but the print is so fun and cheerful that I can’t help but want to wear it all spring and summer long. I plan on adding lots more of this retro print to my wardrobe with pieces like maxi dress, swimsuits, jumpsuits, tops, and even heels. Below I’ve featured several more polka dot pieces that will easily add some fun to your spring and summer wardrobe.
If you’re still unsure about wearing this print read on for my tips on how to style it
Balance Out The Sweetness With Denim & Leather
This classic print can easily be paired with just about anything! I chose to wear my polka dot dress with a distressed denim jacket to balance out the sweetness of the polka dots. A leather jacket, ankle boots, or even a pair of jeans (with a polka dot top) would also have the same effect. When it comes to workwear try adding a blazer over a polka dot top or dress to balance out the sweetness of the print.
Small Scale Polka Dots Act As A Neutral
Think of small scale polka dots as a neutral instead of a print. This is so helpful if you’ve never worn polka dots before and/or you’re unsure of what to pair it with. The small scale is also great for those who love print mixing! Pair it with a stripe, animal print, or even a larger scale polka dot. Also, the small scale makes this print appropriate for work.
Layer In A Few Of The Moment Accessories
Since polka dots are such a classic print have some fun by adding in a few of the moment accessories. My favorites right now include top knot headbands, statement earrings, and layered coin necklaces.
Favorite purse of the moment is this vegan leather bracelet bag with removable cross-body strap.
