More than a fascination with circles and more than a beloved print on a bikini, polka dots are shamelessly dominating runways, celebrity wardrobes and clothing stores.

Polka dots give off a sweet, retro vibe that makes you look great without making it seem you’re trying too hard. Although they’re typically matched with vibrant hues during the summer, polka dots are versatile enough for the fall, especially in Florida, and flatter all shapes and sizes.

Whether it’s a polka dot blouse or dress with a cozy cardigan, polka dot nails or a polka dot scarf, this trend is effortlessly stylish and inexpensive.
