We're seeing spots. Polka dots are everywhere right now!

The pattern is the print of the summer, and it's on everything from cute mini dresses to bodysuits to tube tops to fun going-out bags.

While the print used to feel retro, it's now on modern silhouettes, making it feel less 1955 and way more 2025.

We've made it easy to get in on this fun trend. We've rounded up some of our favorite polka dot pieces from around the internet, and they start as low as $18.
