The classic black-and-white combo with a hint of florals at the waist — Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown’s polka-dotted tulle dress reminds us of our teen days. 

Idea for: Your friend’s church wedding.

Want to wear polka at night? Take a cue from Priyanka Chopra — who opted for high-waist knotted polka pants and a black shirt on her birthday night-out with beau Nick Jonas.

Idea for: Date night.

You can channel the trend by playing with textures like Alia Bhatt did with this ankle dress that has small crochet flowers attached close to each other, giving a polka effect. The colour of the dress and the nude made-up are just right for a day look.

Idea for: Lunch date.

Break the monotony of a polka dress by opting for co-ords like pop star Dua Lipa. We heart the One Kiss singer’s knotted polka blouse and skirt combo. Team it with skinny shades and multiple chains to be on fleek.

Idea for: Vacation.

Model and social media influencer Emily Ratajkowski rocked a halter-neck white-on-black polka bikini top. The large straw beach hat finished the look. 

Idea for: A day at the beach.

For when you want to dance the night away with your besties at a club, a mini polka dress with quirky sleeves is all you need. Some red lipstick and clear heels like model Kendall Jenner and you are ready to slay!

Idea for: Clubbing.

A polka sari to give off vintage vibes. Kangana Ranaut did print-on-print teaming a Sabyasachi polka sari with a belt and a floral-print high-neck blouse. Braid your hair for that classic touch!

Idea for: Wedding reception.

Opt for big polka dots for a boss babe vibe. We heart how Sonam Kapoor Ahuja arrived at Cannes 2018 earlier this year in a long polka dress with flared sleeves, boots, chunky shades and a black bag.

Idea for: A formal do.

Polka doesn’t necessarily have to be in print. A sheer top with black textured polka dots makes 13 Reasons Why star Katherine Langford look glam. The dash of red on her lips is all she needed to go with the look. 

Idea for: A cocktail do.
