Kendall Jenner’s Love For Polka Dots Has A Scientific Reason

The Kardashians need no sartorial lessons and clearly know how to make headlines. Fans of Kendall Jenner have noticed a common pattern in her clothes.

Jenner, who’s currently living her best life, has caught an evident fancy for the playful polka dot trend. Fans got a glimpse into her obsession when Jenner first put up a post of her in a polka dot bikini lounging by the pool. Needless to say, the picture gave #goals to the millions world over.

Soon after, an IG video surfaced where she was spotted wearing a polka dot robe and a polka dot dress. Sure, fans could do without reading too much into that and just assume the instances as mere coincidences. But just then, Jenner was snapped by the paparazzi while on her way to a charity poker tournament. And she was decked in a silky polka dot set — again!

On the fashion front, the polka dot trend is a win-win. The pattern is said to have a happy vibe to it and instantly adds a streak of joy into one’s look. But it turns out, there’s a study that backs her obsession.

“Circles and spheres are the most approachable shapes, with no sharp edges to risk injury,” said Ingrid Fetell Lee in her book “Joyful: The Surprising Power Of Ordinary Things To Create Extraordinary Happiness.” “Our emotional brain understands this intuitively and unconsciously prefers round forms over angular ones. Research has shown that people implicitly associate curved forms with safety and positivity while associating sharp angles with danger and negativity,” she added.

Breaking it down in simpler terms, Fetell Lee enthused that a common obsession with dots is linked to the amygdala in our brains, proving a scientific reason why people are drawn toward the shape. The writer elucidated that polka dots do double duty, mixing play with abundance, two things that are proven to bring joy.

Jenner has always gotten it right with the dots, nevertheless. In fact, experts from the fashion frat believe that she’s already a season ahead (polka dots are most likely to have a major moment next season). But the clear winner from all her polka dot styles is this mini number.

The polka dress wins on multiple levels. The Bec&Bridge number accentuates Jenner’s svelte silhouette, and it doesn’t really draw the attention away from the dots. Like it’s always said, it’s not the dress but the lady who makes the statement. Jenner, being quite the fashionista that she is, ensured that the styling game was on point too.

Jenner spruced it up by pairing the dress with gold jewelry. She completed the look by slipping into a snazzy pair of pristine white sneakers. The outfit screamed fun and chic and amped up the temperatures (like obviously). The mini-dress is just so versatile that it’s the perfect choice from the boardroom to the bar with minimal effort (and some add-ons, of course).

While Jenner has clearly set the bar high for those wanting to slay the polka trend, there’s also no denying that a volley of A-list celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Lizo, Rosalia, Emily Ratajkowski, Chloe x Halle and the like are taking things up a notch in polka dot outfits.
