Spring Summer 25 Polka Dot Trend | Chadstone Style Guide

Spot On: Polka Dots Return

The most compelling print of the new season? The trusted polka dot. Here’s how to wear it this spring.

The polka dot is having a serious fashion moment this Spring Summer 25 season, thanks to nods on the runway from the likes of Fendi, Valentino and Acne Studios. The polka dot can inspire connotation of primness, but this iteration has an understated coolness and everyday wearability. Think: cute mini-dresses with elevated accessories, sleek two-piece sets with stylish heels and statement tees tucked into new-season denim. Here, we show you how to wear this season’s best-loved print.

Hot to Dot

Nothing says summer like mini dresses and Rebecca Vallance knows how to create the perfect silhouette! The mini infuses timeless elegance with contemporary style and the mixture of polka dots with statement floral applique gives it the perfect wow factor for your spring summer event. Add strappy heels from Tony Bianco at David Jones and statement sunglasses by Gentle Monster and finish the look with delicious gold jewellery by Chaumet, whose classic ‘Bee’ motif is a buy-once treasure-forever kind of investment.

When in doubt, reach for the trusted two-piece matching set. This sleeveless number by Seed Heritage is versatile and comfortable, with a flattering silhouette that cinches the waist. While making for the perfect trans-seasonal weekend fit (just add white sneakers and a blazer), we suggest dressing this piece up with heels (Witchery’s pointed-toe twist slingback leather heels are killer) and statement jewellery, like these gold sculptural pieces from Sheike. Extra points for a matching cream handbag, like this soft, pillowy pouch bag from Prada.

Simply Spotted

We love the everyday wearability of Witchery’s polka dot mesh baby tee. Tuck yours into an on-trend pair of slouchy jeans, like the flattering ‘Reagan’ jean by Dissh, then finesse the look with elevated accessories. A black leather belt with gold accents is a year-round must-have, best paired with an on-trend mesh ballerina flat by Jo Mercer and a slouchy everyday handbag.
