Trend Alert! Rock the polka dot trend this summer like these B-Town beauties

Bollywood is not just an entertainment industry, it’s like a beacon of motivation and inspiration for many. Fans follow their favourite celebrities crazily and go gaga over their fashion. Not just on-screen, but off-screen too, many B-Town stars are creating waves in the Indian fashion scenario. And without a second thought, there are a lot of styling lessons to learn from the glittery world of celebs. So, let’s take a look at one of the classic fashion trends that is being flaunted extensively within the showbiz world – Polka Dots!

The polka dot pattern comes in many varieties like big, small, tiny, close together, dispersed and many more. Be it sarees, maxi dresses, skirts, trousers and even accessories – Bollywood has always flashed the polka dot trend with fierce passion. If we go back in time, the love for polka dot started quite early in the film industry, with those pretty colourful sarees and shirts from the 70s.

One of the interesting things about polka dot design is that it’s fun and flirty, but also classic at the same time. Designer Marc Jacobs once said, “There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.” And yes, we do agree with him that the classic print has and will never be outdated.

Here, we list down some of the celebrities who have impressed us with the polka dot trend. So, are you ready to take some style cues this summer:

Sheer black and white

If a polka dot saree is on your mind, then you can take some style notes from Sonam Kapoor. In the picture, Sonam is wearing a black and white saree which has large polka dot print on it. She went nil with regards to her accessories, except for a tiny clutch bag. With her hair pulled back up, dark eye makeup and a full sleeved high-collared blouse, Sonam looks a true fashionista. (If you don’t like wearing a full sleeved blouse, that’s fine, you can go for a 3/4 sleeved blouse too)

The denim game

If you are young, bubbly and love long skirts, then don’t miss out Alia Bhatt’s outfit. Here, Alia is looking so cute in a denim crop top and a pleated skirt from designer Masaba’s collection. And those pair of Alexandre Birman sandals gives the look a finishing touch. This look surely needs to be on your to-wear list as it’s light in colour, refreshing and so summery!

Those uneven hemlines

Ooh, la la! Polka dots on linen, now that’s something breathable and unique! Mini Mathur exhibits how to beat the heat in this super comfy dress by Ritu Kumar. The hint of neon colour visible through her boat neck, surely gives a sassy touch.

Simple yet chic

Looking for an effortlessly casual look but with some polka dot pattern? No worries, as Shahid Kapoor’s wifey Mira Rajput is here to help you out. Go for a polka-dotted crop top with a high-waist denim,  just like Mira. This look is really suitable for you, if you want to stay stylish even while you are running your errands.

The corporate lookGuess what, it’s Sonam Kapoor again! If you have ever desired to style yourself in a polka dot attire for your office, take hints from the ever so stylish Sonam. Go for just a hint of polka dot pattern, while mixing and matching it with colour blocking and layering.

Dispersed, large and small

Last on our list is the girl with an adorable persona, Anushka Sharma. We actually liked the kind of variation she has shown with her different polka dot outfits. You can choose any one of them or all, as per your liking. And remember, go minimal with the accessories just like Anushka.
