When it comes to prints that never go out of style, polka dots are right up there with stripes and florals. But this summer, they’re not just timeless—they’re having a moment.

In our latest blog post, we rounded the best polka dot finds to refresh your wardrobe this summer—pieces that work now and well beyond the season.

Founders Doing Good:

At just 27, Katie Diasti revolutionized the period care industry with Viv, a Gen Z-founded brand offering eco-friendly, toxin-free products like organic cotton tampons and bamboo pads.

What began as a college project in 2019 has grown into a nationwide movement, with Viv now available in over 1,500 retail locations, including Whole Foods.

Beyond product innovation, Katie has championed menstrual equity, donating over 200,000 period products to shelters and schools across the U.S. and globally.

Her approach combines sustainability, inclusivity, and education, making Viv a standout example of purpose-driven entrepreneurship. Check out my interview with Katie here.

Intentional Habit:

Talk to Strangers (Yes, our moms told us not to—but hear me out)

What: Start tiny, friendly chats while you’re out—talk to the barista, compliment a stranger’s jacket, or ask about someone’s dog (bonus points if you get to pet it).

Why: Little bursts of kindness and connection can brighten someone’s day (including your own), spark unexpected conversations, and help you feel more grounded—especially in an age where so much interaction happens online.

Life is basically one big group chat—you just have to unmute it.
