Polka Dots: The Print That Never Goes Out of Style
Some prints come and go, but polka dots have remained a wardrobe favourite for generations. Effortlessly playful yet undeniably timeless, they're one of the few patterns that feel just as relevant today as they did decades ago.
At Berawa Luxe, we've reimagined this classic print in our Lauren Polka Skirt an easy, feminine piece designed to be worn season after season.
A Brief History of Polka Dots
Despite the name, polka dots actually have very little to do with the dance.
The term "polka dot" became popular during the mid-1800s, when the polka dance was sweeping across Europe. As the word "polka" became associated with fashion and trends, manufacturers began using it to market everything from hats to dresses and eventually, the spotted pattern became known as the polka dot.
It wasn't until the early 20th century that advances in textile printing allowed perfectly even dots to be produced, helping transform the print into the timeless classic we know today.
Why We Still Love Polka Dots
Polka dots strike the perfect balance between statement and simplicity.
Unlike bold florals or seasonal prints, they feel versatile enough to wear year-round. Whether styled casually with a simple tank or dressed up with linen tailoring, they add interest without overwhelming an outfit.
They're also surprisingly easy to mix with neutral colours, making them one of the most wearable prints in any wardrobe.
