Spring Trends

It's all about polka dots and bold color.

Spring is in full swing and the top two emerging trends appear to be bold, saturated colors and modern polka dots. Both are easy to incorporate into your seasonal rotation, whether for the everyday or special occasion dressing like wedding guest attire (don't miss the standout cocktail dresses in the edit). Wherever you are on the scale of minimalist to maximalist, there's a piece for you. Discover our designer curation below.

Look on the bright side this spring: It's all about vibrant color. Runway collections from Alaïa to Loewe showed their signature designs awash in eye-catching hues. Cobalt blue, punchy red, chartreuse green, and sunny yellow all featured heavily. The message? Wear to embolden your confidence (and wardrobe).

Polka dots were a staple last summer and the sweet pattern is picking up steam again this season. The once-retro vibe gets a decidedly fashion girl twist in directional silhouettes, as seen on Khaite and Dries Van Noten spring 2026 runways. From voluminous skirts to flirty maxi dresses perfect for upcoming events and weddings, here are some of our favorite polka dot picks.
