Polka dot dresses are something we love, especially if they are short, midi, long, with halter necklines, voluminous skirts or striking silhouettes.
A few months ago, creative directors from the most prestigious brands — Margiela, Balmain, Chanel, Stella McCartney, Carolina Herrera, Dolce & Gabbana… — predicted it and experts have confirmed it time and again: it’s the turn of the polka dot dress. This classic print, beloved by icons such as Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe, always makes a comeback for good reason. It revolutionized fashion in the 1930s and 1950s and has remained versatile, fun and elegant ever since, suitable for all occasions.
Pleated long sleeves
Artist Ciinderella Balthazar is a great inspiration for anyone looking to wear a cape sleeve dress this summer. She was spotted in London wearing a white pleated dress, paired with a chain and rhinestone clutch and black heeled sandals with a bracelet.
Halter neckline
Few necklines are as flattering as the halter neck. Sensual, functional, sophisticated and versatile, it’s ideal for any occasion. Try a polka dot dress from Dolce & Gabbana, paired with a bow belt, metallic chain bag and high-heeled sandals.
Corsets
It’s well known that Wimbledon is the perfect place to discover street trends, but this year, businesswoman Paige Lorenze chose a flawless mid-length white dress with a corset and an extremely chic maxi skirt.
Big jewelry
Alex Rivière shows off her ideal minidress for a yacht vacation with a dark design featuring long sleeves – perfect for braving the breeze – and a closed collar and drape.
Printed sets
Traveling to a place with changeable weather? Bring an oversized plaid blazer to create an interesting contrast with your polka-dot dress. Don’t forget sunglasses, a chain belt, and patent leather shoes.
Brilliant
For an extra touch, analyst Zita d’Hauteville posed in a mini dress with circular rhinestone appliqués. The semi-sheer dress with a sweetheart neckline was accessorized with knee-high studded boots.
Vintage silhouettes
French model Chloe Lecareux was spotted on the streets of Paris during fashion week, showing off her retro style in a mini dress by Alessandra Rich. The blue and white polka dot dress, featuring a lace Peter Pan collar, short puff sleeves and pearl buttons, was accessorized with a bright burgundy bag and white pumps with a contrasting toe.
