Every season brings us different trends – colors, shapes, or accessories. But you will probably agree that summer especially asks for something new. A good example is polka dots, which have now become one of the main trends of the season.
Even though we saw polka dots a lot on the 2025 spring runways, they are most connected to summer. The style of polka dot clothing is strongly linked to the 80s and 90s. At that time, Julia Roberts wore the famous brown dress with white polka dots in the movie Pretty Woman, and Naomi Campbell showed a beautiful polka dot look in Patrick Kelly’s spring 1989 show.
If the 80s and 90s remind us of Naomi and Julia, in 2025 we can connect the comeback of this trend to Hailey Bieber. Even though this print is now everywhere, in real life and on social media, Hailey was one of the first to bring polka dots into her everyday style.
What makes this print so special? Polka dots catch the eye right away, but they also keep elegance. That is why we see them both in casual outfits and in evening dresses. This print is classic and modern at the same time, always coming back in different ways in different times. Polka dots fit every style, which makes them very practical. So, if you don’t have a piece with this print yet, it’s time to make space for it in your wardrobe.
