What are polka dot dresses?
A polka dot dress is a distinctive style that can be easily spotted due to its large or small spots, and it’s typically found in vintage or retro styles. However, it doesn’t have to be a nostalgic nod to previous eras, as many modern styles of dress feature polka dots too.
The classic polka dot dress style features black dots on a white or red background, but polka dots can be found in almost any colour combination from navy and cream to green and gold. You can even find rainbow-coloured polka dots if that’s the style you’re looking for!
Polka dot dresses have a timeless and classic appeal, making them a fashion staple that has endured through various decades. Originally the term "polka dot" itself refers to the dance style, polka, which was popular in the mid-19th century, around the same time the polka dot pattern gained popularity.
Who should wear polka dot dresses?
Polka dot patterns can be found on various dress styles, including A-line dresses, wrap dresses, fit-and-flare dresses, maxi dresses, and more. The pattern is easily adaptable to different dress silhouettes and lengths, and it’s all about finding the right style that works for you.
It doesn’t matter what your body type is or how confident you feel about showing it off, as there are so many different styles and types of polka dot dresses that you can wear to feel great in.
Choose a big and bold pattern if you want a classic look that
draws attention, or opt for a smaller and more delicate pattern if you’d prefer
a more subtle style.
When should I wear polka dot dresses?
Polka dot dresses can be versatile and worn for a range of occasions, from casual weekend events to formal evening affairs. The pattern can be playful and casual or refined and elegant, depending on the dress style and design and how you accessorise the final look.
Whether on a summer sundress, a playful swing dress or an elegant cocktail dress, polka dots add a touch of charm to an overall look as well as a classic and stylish touch. Accessorising a polka dot dress is easy to do too, and can be as simple as matching the red to a shade of lipstick or your shoes or even keeping jewellery and your handbag
to the same colour palette for an elegant tonal look.
How should I wear polka dot dresses? What pairs well with polka dot dresses?
Polka dots are versatile enough to be mixed with other patterns, such as stripes or florals or bright pops of
colour like pink, for a bold and eclectic look. However, pairing them with solid colours is a classic choice and might be an easier way to style them if you’re not looking for such a bold and eye-catching look.
You can choose to wear polka dot dresses with high heels for a dressed-up style, or keep things casual with a classic white trainer or ballet pump for a nostalgic outfit that’s perfect for weekend plans.
