Another year, another polka-dot piece taking over Instagram. This season, it's "The Dress", aka a £40 Zara polka-dot creation so popular and universally flattering, it's spawned its own Instagram tribute account. The Duchess of Cambridge certainly knows the power of a polka-dot dress, re-wearing her favourites in 2019, and it's certainly the print to be seen in this year.
This Summer, you can replace the perennial Rockabilly retro designs — with their large spots, circle skirts, and bright colours — with a more subtle take on the trend. We're talking small, dark spots on minimal white midi dresses. They'll see you through all of the Summer's key occasions. Ahead, take a look at 23 of the very best polka-dot dresses to get you spotted for all the right reasons this season.
