How I Style Polka-Dots

What Are We Wearing?

Polka dots are a fun, classic print that will never go out of style, and there are so many ways to wear them. Summer is the most popular time to style this youthful print into your wardrobe in everything from playful bikinis to silk scarves to daring dresses. Here's how I am working this timeless print into my warm-weather looks.  

Look 1
Polka dots and denim are a match made in heaven. I am in love with the playfulness of these jumbo dots on a white structured vest paired with a wide-leg trouser-style pair of jeans. It's a timeless look with a modern spin, and I added a pop of color with a red belt. This look is perfect for lunch with friends or a daytime event that's more casual. 

Look 2
This polka dot form-fitting midi dress is a little retro with the spots and knee-length silhouette. I styled a 40s-inspired peep-toe mule and a sleek black bag to keep all eyes on the dress. You could also drape a cropped blazer over your shoulders or a motorcycle jacket to tone it down. This dress would also look darling with a mini-style cardigan and red heels for some edge. 

Look 3
Everyone knows I love a fabulous pair of wide-leg trousers. Summer always has so many variations of this style of pant because it is so flowy and comfortable during hot or humid days. I added a structured vest again for a more formal event, but you can also wear these very versatile pants with a baby tee, tank, or cami in your favorite color for a fun, pulled-together look.
