Trends fade but vintage styles like polka dots never go out of fashion. Polka dots are a flirty, retro, and whimsical fashion must-have that can be worn by women of any age. Whether you prefer big, bold circles or smaller dots, there is something for everyone!
Polka dots first appeared in 1854 in a magazine and reached their fashion popularity in 1871 when the Polka dance became very popular and the dancers would wear polka dots. Records going back to the 1850s show people were donning the dots as they danced the night away, moving in circles while wearing them. However, it was during the 20th century when we truly began to see the polka dots’ lasting role in fashion history. In 1928, Minnie Mouse was brought to life by the Walt Disney studio, dressed in a bold, polka dot skirt. Can you believe that a beloved cartoon mouse helped popularize this print?
During the 1940′s and 50′s, polka dots graced female celebrities from Marilyn Monroe to Elizabeth Taylor. The style was further cemented as a wardrobe staple when Lucille Ball wore polka dot dresses as part of her costume on the hit show I Love Lucy. Women across the country aspired to encompass the fun personality and style of housewife Lucy–propelling the polka dot craze into a mainstream style coveted by women everywhere.

Here are a few helpful tips for wearing polka dots:
1. Larger dots create a bold, dramatic look while miniature dots are more subdued. Polka dots in bright colors are fun and whimsical, while classic color combinations like black and white are more sophisticated.
2. Try mixing and matching polka dots with stripes or solids. A black and cream polka dot blouse looks striking when paired with a solid black pencil skirt.
3. If you want to incorporate polka dots into your wardrobe in a subtle way, try accessorizing with polka dots. A great pair of polka dot pumps can easily punch up your outfit–or try a polka dot scarf or bag to create a fun vibe without going over the top. Even a small splash of this style can add vibrance to your look.
4. A polka dot printed dress is a great classic way to wear this feminine style. A dress with a retro cut has vintage appeal, while a more modern dress style creates an updated look.
5. Try polka dot nails for a fun twist–it is an inexpensive way to try the trend without commitment:
Classic blue and white nails are bold and fun.
See how small dots look understated and sophisticated?
Try dotting your nails with the same color in a shiny finish.
