No matter whether you are a teenager or a 30-year-old lady, polka dots are fashionable at all times! Expand your boundaries and enjoy your fashionable life to the fullest!


Polka dots are claimed to be the fashion hit of this autumn. Women dress themselves in polka-dots-dresses, polka-dots-shoes, wear polka-dots-bags and enjoy the beauty of polka-dots-accessories. It seems like we are getting back in time, waking up somewhere in the middle of the 1950s and learning the benefits of the new style. Yet, there is nothing new in the popularity of polka dots. For many years, women from all over the world have been committed to this particular fashion style. Here, I would like to tell more about the origins and hidden meaning of polka dots, as well as the things that are going to make you fashionable this autumn.

The history of the polka dots hysteria dates back to the times of Spanish Gypsies, although they never called the discussed arrangement in this way. The polka dots fabric was extremely popular among Flamenco dancers. For many years, it had been a symbol of moon in a dark sky – a symbol extremely important in the lives of Spanish Gypsies. Of course, flamenco alone would have never done as much for the polka dots fabric as the polka dance did. It is because of the Polka that the polka dots fabric has become so popular among women. In the 19th century, America entered the new stage of the Polka dance craze, and this is where the American story of polka dots actually began.

Of course, as you understand, at the dawn of the industrial revolution, polka dots were still quite rare, simply because there was no industrial opportunity to manufacture the polka dots fabric. Designing a piece with the dots evenly distributed across the surface was not possible. However, at the very end of the 19th century, textile manufacturers decided they could benefit from the growing popularity of the fabric. With the invention of new equipment and machines, polka dots went into the masses. The polka dots fabric was used to produce all kinds of clothing and accessories, from hats to curtain ties! It was so fashionable to wear something made of the polka dots fabric! Today, polka dots are still an essential component of the vintage clothing designed in the 1950-style.

So, why are polka dots so popular? To a large extent, there is no reason to believe that polka dots may once go into oblivion. The main reason is that the polka dots fabric represents a unique mixture of impressions and lines, which is extremely flexible and, simultaneously, rather intriguing. With polka dots, you can create dresses and accessories of any imaginable design. Polka dots accessories are a remarkable supplement to any, even the most extravagant, dress. You can even have polka dots socks! Everything is possible, as long as you do not limit yourself to traditional styles. Imagine yourself the main character of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Use your charm and minimalistic dress design to emphasize your strongest sides.
