Like pink and purple and mid-length flared dresses, polka dots can easily veer from playful to childish, which is why I often avoid them altogether in favor of stripes, a safer, more streamlined bet. It took me a while to fully embrace them when they came back into vogue last year (as illustrated by a style breakdown and interview with my friend Anita), but this time around feels different, with more than a few options that feel fully grown-up:
1. Tie Front Dress ($165)
2. Free People Top ($88)
3. Valencia & Vine Blouse ($128)
4. Faithfull Stepper Dress ($132)
5. Keepsake Moonshine Dress ($180)
6. Sunday's Dress ($225)
7. JOA Polka Dot Dress ($89)
8. WAYF Flutter Wrap Dress ($84)
9. Saloni Midi Dress ($550)
10. DVF Silk Top ($430)
11. Embroidered Cotton Shorts ($80)
12. Ulla Johnson Pullover ($450)
