If you needed any more proof that polka dots are a summer wardrobe must-have, just look at Kate Middleton's sartorial choices. Earlier this month, the Princess of Wales attended the Royal of the Garter ceremony wearing an elegant Alessandra Rich dress featuring the beloved print. Flashback to last summer, Kate stepped out in the spotted pattern a number of times too: once during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, again for the Royal Ascot, and twice for two separate Wimbledon matches.
But she isn't the only royal who has an affinity for the pattern: Meghan Markle has also been seen in the print, and even Princess Beatrice, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Zara Tindall, and Queen Camilla have joined in the speckled fun, wearing gorgeous polka-dot dresses to many events.
While the royal family has been wearing polka dots for decades, one thing is for sure: the spotted pattern is here to stay this summer too. Ahead, royal-approved polka-dot outfits that will inspire your stylish summer wardrobe.
White and Black Polka-Dot Dress
Kate's go-to for all things polka-dot is Alessandra Rich. For Garter Day, the Princess opted for an elegant white and black number paired with spectator pumps by Jennifer Chamandi.
Navy and White Polka-Dot Dress
Kate previously went for the polka-dot and cap-toe shoes combination for the final day of Wimbledon last year. This spotty look with the two-tone pumps were also from Alessandra Rich.
