I’ve paired mine with white linen shorts for beach-to-bar transitions that never fail to impress.
2. Watercolor Wonders

Forget perfect circles – these hand-painted dots have personality! Irregular shapes and varying opacities create movement across the fabric that conventional polka dots could never achieve.
Whereas traditional dots can feel childish, these sophisticated splotches bring artistic credibility to a classic pattern.
17. Vintage Map Explorer
