Whenever I see polka dots, my mind flashes to a few unforgettable fashion moments: Julia Roberts in that iconic brown-and-white dress from Pretty Woman (1990, if you need a reminder), and Naomi Campbell, gliding down Patrick Kelly’s Spring 1989 runway in a head-to-toe floral-and-dot co-ord. While polka dots had their heyday in the ‘80s and '90s—not to mention the decades before—this season, the maximal pattern reenters the spotlight and fashion’s contemporary trend cycle.

I’m a firm believer that the best summer outfits should be easy to assemble.

And luckily, Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale has everything I could possibly need to bring these looks to life.

Ralph Lauren, in contrast, celebrated the intricate art of patchwork with a floor-sweeping maxi skirt crafted from contrasting pieces of checkered fabric.

There’s no doubt that maximalism is currently ruling the runways (billowing bubble skirts and whimsical floral prints have infiltrated nearly every top-tier collection). However, I’m here to tell you that minimalist capsule wardrobes aren’t going anywhere. While many viral trends are often fleeting, you can always count on core pieces like crisp button-down shirts, wide-leg tailored trousers, and plain white T-shirts to stick around for the long haul.
