Polka dots, a symbol of playful femininity in the 1950s, were favored by icons like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. This summer, the print returns in small to medium sizes with a focus on versatility, appearing in black and white, blue, pink, and brown and white color palettes. According to WWW, based on social media presence and shopping data across various platforms, polka dots are a top choice alongside florals, stripes, and ocean-inspired prints.

You can wear polka dots on halter dresses, strapless dresses, swimsuits, capri pants, and short-sleeved shirts, paired with ballet flats, Mary Janes, or high heels.

This year, stripes are mostly seen in bright colors, especially blue, green, yellow, and pink. In the 1920s, stripes were a symbol of elegance.

According to W, many people love stripes for their ability to create a lengthening effect.

For those who prefer a vintage or country style, gingham is an excellent choice. This checkered pattern is popular on midi dresses, maxi dresses, puff-sleeved tops, wide-leg pants, and bloomers, and has been embraced by many young people.

Compared to stripes, gingham offers a more classic and approachable look.

Florals, associated with the hippie and bohemian styles of the 1970s, are perfect for romantic and feminine individuals.

A floral maxi dress paired with a straw bag is ideal for vacations or strolls. For work, opt for pastel tones and smaller floral prints for a touch of elegance.

Among the popular prints, ocean-inspired patterns featuring shrimp, crabs, fish, shells, and coral bring a refreshing touch.

According to W, these prints suit nature lovers, animal enthusiasts, and those with a cheerful and friendly style. They offer a change of pace and a unique touch for everyday life, beach trips, or camping.
