As we warm up to a fresh spring season, we can't help but embrace flirty new looks and playful prints and patterns. Luckily for us, one of the most classic patterns of all time is now more popular then ever.

We've spotted countless celebs embracing the adorable trend, a quirky alternative to solid colors or simple stripes.

Kerry Washington and Emmy Rossum looked demure and feminine in daytime frocks that evoked a kitschy retro vibe, while Solange Knowles played up the pattern in a two-piece Moschino ensemble with oversized spots for a cheeky twist.

Take a cue from Hilary Duff, who opted to for a casual sweater instead of the predictable dress variety, as seen on Alexa Chung in a swingy strapless number at the amfAR Gala in New York.

Sarah Jessica Parker expertly mixed patterns of the same color palette and added an exciting element to her look with a pair of red pointy-toe pumps. 

No matter your style, polka dots are refreshingly wearable for any occasion.
