Edgy isn’t the only fashion trend that polka dots can be transferred to. With summer 2022’s vintage vibes, polka dots fit into your outfit for any occasion. The biggest thing to remember, Vogue UK says, is that the lines with trends are blurred: Wear what you feel best in. You won’t be alone.
Stitch Fix notes that cottagecore, while declared to be over, is still in style for summer 2022. This means by pairing a long, flowy skirt, like the En Saison Tiered Polka Dot Maxi Skirt from Anthropologie, with a white t-shirt, you’re more than on-trend. Since mixing structure and flow are also in, according to Vogue UK, add a cropped blazer, like the Current Air Cropped Jacquard Blazer from Anthropologie, to make this outfit office-ready. Still need to balance soft with edge? Swap out the blazer for a cropped leather jacket, like the Cropped Moto Jacket from Garage.
Americana, Stitch Fix says, is another fashion trend you’re going to see everywhere for summer 2022. To match your dots to this patriotic color palette, try matching either dark blue or white jeans with the Elaine Pocket Short Sleeved Tee in Navy by Market and Spruce. Like Stitch Fix notes, salsa red and midnight blue are big this year, so don’t be afraid your outfit is going to look too patriotic if you throw on red shoes or a headband, like the Flat Twist Headband by A New Day, found at Target.
