Polka dots are a classic—and they’re at their best in dress form. (Don’t @ us. It’s just true.) Minis, midis, and maxis covered in polka dots can turn any tough day into a cheery one. It’s simply the power of the polka dot. (!) These frocks are bright and fun, and you can guarantee they’ll never go out of style. There’s no doubt about it, folks: Plus-size polka dot dresses deserve a spot in any and every wardrobe.
Like most classic patterns—stripes, houndstooth, plaid—you can essentially treat polka dots as a neutral. Try mixing it up by wearing a polka dot midi dress layered over a plaid mockneck top. Or pair a polka dot mini dress with an oversized plaid shacket. Pattern mixing is an art, but polka dots are an easy place to start. Plus, layering makes these frocks truly perfect for any season (even when temperatures are freezing).
Of course, you can always let your plus-size polka dot dresses star as the main attraction of your ensemble. Keep it simple with a polka dot maxi dress and strappy sandals. Or get your polka dot mini dress ready for date night with a pair of block heels and some sparkly earrings. No matter your personal style, the possibilities with polka dot dresses are endless.
Available in everything from classic black and white to bright pinks, oranges, and greens, there’s a polka dot dress for everyone—and every occasion. From casual weekends to formal weddings, there’s never a bad time to rock some polka dots.
