There's plenty to look forward to in summer. Cookouts, days at the beach and festivals, for starters. The warmer temps also allow us to break out our crop tops, cutoffs, miniskirts and minidresses in vivid colors and prints. Although this time around, a black and white pattern is making its way into our summer lineup. In fact, summer polka dots are a certified trend with numerous fashion houses including iterations in their lineups.

Nina Ricci, Ganni, Zimmermann, Carolina Herrera, Moschino, Marni and Dolce & Gabbana are all in on the latest craze.. Although perhaps Marni and Dolce & Gabbana should be excluded in this case because they consistently include the pattern in their collections. The trickle-down effect has already happened, however, as the classic pattern can also be found at Zara, & Other Stories, Reformation, Mango and more.

You can practically dot-tify your entire closet. From a plunging halter top to a halter dress to cotton-blend capri pants to twill shorts and even slingback sandals. Feel free to double or even triple down on dots. Many of our highlighted pieces are part of matching sets so go ahead and buy both. Earn extra credit in summer school by sporting selections from different brands in one outfit.

Here are the must-have items boasting summer polka dots you need in your life.
