Polka dots are having a moment—and I’m here for it. But before you grab one for your next family shoot, let’s talk. This playful vintage trend is showing up in everything from fall sweaters to silky dresses, especially in classic black and neutral tones. It’s cute, timeless, and adds that pop of charm without being over-the-top. ✨ But here’s the thing: Polka dots can be a little unpredictable on camera. Some photograph beautifully, others can look a little wonky—especially small or high-contrast patterns. So if you’re thinking of wearing polka dots for a photoshoot, definitely run it by your photographer first. (Trust me, this one matters more than you’d think!) Now, if you’re not dressing for the camera? Polka dots are a yes. They’re perfect for: • Fall weddings • Date nights • Baby showers • Brunch with your besties • Office-to-dinner outfits So go ahead—add a little dot magic to your wardrobe, just maybe save it for off-camera moments unless you’re 100% sure it’s camera-friendly. 📸 LTKSeasonal LTKStyleTip LTKFamily
