The bright sunshine of spring has finally arrived, and increasingly, fashion people around the world have abandoned their winter coats in favor of lightweight spring jackets. Already, the season’s classic outerwear purchases are back, and clear trends are beginning to emerge. But to top it all, there’s a binding print that’s bringing a playful edge to spring dressing. From blazers to bomber jackets, trench coats to technical jackets, everywhere I look, stylish people are wearing polka dot jackets this spring.
The polka dot print trend is never far from the cycle. Last summer, we saw a bold return of spots via beautiful silk tops, scarf accessories and, as the weather cooled, a range of spots on outerwear. Now, the trend is returning for spring 2026, relying on the classic jacket silhouette to bring a timeless feel to the playful print.
