All fashion girls are wearing this polka dot trend
There are a few items that have been indispensable to our wardrobes this summer: the pleated mini, trekking chunky sandals, and a straw tote, for example. Fortunately for us, the crowd who goes mad for a bit of print, there’s another trend that’s been everywhere this socially-distanced season: polka dots.
Polka dots may conjure thoughts of Minnie Mouse more than Avenue Montaigne for some but alas, the summer trend is a high street favorite.
Appearing on the Spring/Summer 2020 runways of Michael Kors, Altuzarra, Balmain, and Gucci, you won’t be hard-pressed to find a designer who hasn’t at least dabbled in the fun-loving print.

The key to pulling off polka dots is to channel your inner French girl: cat-eye sunglasses, minimal makeup, and dainty jewelry all pair well with the print. To transition your polka dots into fall’s cooler weather: opt for outfits with sheer black tights, Chelsea boots, and leather jackets.
