The polka dot print is never far from the trend cycle. Last summer, we saw a bold return of spots through pretty silk tops, scarf accessories and as the weather cooled, a smattering of spots over outerwear. Now, the trend is returning for spring 2026, leaning upon classic jacket silhouettes to bring a timeless feel to the playful print.
For the classicists, the trench coat has returned in both full-length and cropped styles, with a monochromatic accent of bold spots. For those looking for a sportier silhouette, a range of technical jackets now comes in sweet polka dots. Alongside, a few brands have turned their hand to tailoring, rejuvenating refined blazers with the print. Whether you're working on a budget or ready to invest, the high street and high-end designers have worked hard to create a seriously chic selection of polka dot jackets for spring. I've hunted through all of them to find the very best below.
