Polka Dots; The Vintage Preppy Pattern

(Yayoi Kusama)

As soon as technology could create evenly spaced dots on fabric in the 19th century, polka dot designs have remained a symbol for classic, timeless, playful fashion. From Minnie Mouse to Marilyn Monroe to Zendaya, polka dots have stayed in style. We even see it in art forms, most famously by Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist often referred to as, ‘The Princess of Polka Dots’.

The polka dot pattern evokes a fun, sophisticated, glamorous, playful vibe perfect for any occasion and sure to make you stand out in a crowd. Polka dots are not for wallflowers, they are for the bold belle of the ball or boardroom.
