Polka dots aren’t revolutionary, but they certainly revolve. Every few years, dotted textiles circle back into focus and reemerge in the form of the fashion industry’s most popular silhouettes. 2017 happens to be one of those years, as trendsetters from Olivia Palermo to Chrissy Teigen have been spotted (literally!) about town in dots of every dimension. Because we adore an updated classic and this trend is no exception, we’ve put together a collection of daring dots that lend a bit of edge to this typically demure staple.
For a modernized option that will prove to be timeless, try miniature polka dots and wide stripes together on a knit top by Marc Jacobs. For a more avant-garde look, opt for bold white dots dramatically set upon black silk in Monse’s shoulder-cutout blouse or wide-leg trouser. For a bit of flirty flair, opt for Dolce & Gabbana’s tiered skirt with lace details. Shimmy into any of the various dotted pieces below for a spot-on look that will take you through the end of summer and straight into fall.
