Hi all,

Today we’re talking polka dots - a classic yet fun and bold print that we can wear on almost any piece: top, pants, skirt, or even a dress. So what does wearing polka dots say about you? Or what could it portray? And if you’re not keen on the print, but want to give it a try, how should you do so? Let’s answer these questions and then go shopping for some of my favorites.

Polka Dots and Psychology

Bold prints like polka dots are eye catching and those that prefer them tend to be extroverts, creative, and/or open-minded. But it can also be seen as the perfect print for a team player (or if you want to portray that persona). How? Well, metaphorically speaking, one polka dot alone does nothing but when grouped together they are able to achieve something special.

Where to wear polka dots

So when is it a great time to wear polka dots? For a dress like this one, try a post-quarantine gathering, or get-together. It’s casual, but fun. If you’re more of an introvert, or if you’re not quite sure of wearing a bold print like this one, you can still wear polka dots, but try wearing them as an accessory first, and it’ll be a great conversation starter piece. This means a polka dot purse, or shoes, for example. For work, stick to one bold piece (button down shirt, pants, dress) and keep the rest of the look neutral (neutrals can help you come off responsible, too)!
