Trendscape: Polka Dots

We just love polka dots. Why? Because they span all seasons and occasions. Polka dot prints are perfect for a summer barbecue, a holiday cocktail party or just another day in the office.  They can be serious or whimsical. Best of all, this classic look will never go out of style.

Feeling conspicuous? Try smaller dots (such as the ones on this Kate Spade), or Swiss dots, like the ones on our dress below.
