Patterns & Prints
Polka dots are a pattern of filled circles of uniform size, spaced evenly in a regular grid on a contrasting background. Cheerful and retro, the motif spans tiny pin dots to large coin-sized spots, appearing on dresses, blouses, and scarves. Classic black-and-white or red-and-white versions feel especially vintage.
The defining trait is the even size and spacing of the dots; irregular or scattered spots read as something else. Dot scale changes the mood, from subtle and elegant to bold and playful.
Polka dots carry a strong 1950s and pin-up association and pair naturally with feminine shapes like fit-and-flare and wrap dresses.
