Polka-dot designs have long been a favourite of Princess Kate<\/a> and before that, her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana<\/a>. While the classic print is timeless, it’s all over the high street this season and one very affordable dress<\/a> stands out \u2013 and it’s currently on sale for \u00a337.50.<\/p>\n

Back in 2022, Princess Kate<\/a> turned heads in a chic white dress adorned with brown polka dots by Alessandra Rich.<\/a> With long sleeves, a high neckline, softly puffed shoulders and a matching waist belt, the vintage-inspired dress gave a nod to 1980s style (and was reminiscent of a dress worn by the late Princess Diana<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’ve found a dress that gives a similar chic look but with a summer-ready spin. It would work for all sorts of occasions, including any races you might be attending. I’ve also curated a list of other picks from the high street.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This elegant white polka-dot midi dress from Pretty Little Thing has a bateau neckline and a dropped waist, with an A-line skirt that falls to mid-calf. The bold black polka dots evoke vintage charm, while the clean tailoring and lightweight fabric keep it fresh and modern. This runs from sizes 4 to 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This dress comes in a variety of colours, including a vibrant yellow\u2014a standout hue that\u2019s a major trend this season and seen on both Princess Kate and the Duchess of Edinburgh. Whether dressed up with heels and a clutch for a summer event or styled casually, it\u2019s a versatile piece that channels classic femininity with a fashion-forward edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shoppers can currently get 25% off using the code PLT25<\/strong>, bringing the price down from \u00a350 to \u00a337.50.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This strapless frock by British label Nobody’s Child, a brand previously seen on the Princess of Wales, exudes riviera glamour. With its fitted ruched bodice and full A-line skirt, the cream-and black midi has a vintage feel. There are nine other patterns to choose from, including a vibrant red, and all have detachable straps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This elegant polka-dot maxi dress from French Connection has a timeless aesthetic, with a modern edge. Featuring a crisp white base with black polka-dots, it has a structured bodice and a voluminous A-line skirt, with removable spaghetti straps. The cinched waist enhances the shape, while side pockets add a practical, contemporary touch. Perfect for weddings, garden parties, or summer soir\u00e9es, this dress is \u00a0available in UK sizes 10 to 18 but it’s selling fast.<\/p>\n

This chiffon polka-dot dress features slightly larger black spots on a cream base, offering a bold, graphic twist on a timeless print. It has fluttery short sleeves, a fitted waist, and a pretty tiered skirt. Take style notes from Kate and pair it with a nude clutch and matching heels to elevate the look. This one comes in regular and petite lengths, in sizes 8 to 22.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This elegant cream-and-black polka-dot halter-neck dress from high street favourite New Look blends vintage glamour with modern flair. It has a cowl neckline and a flattering wrap-style silhouette, accented by tiered ruffles that cascade diagonally across the skirt.
