Amal Clooney just convinced me to wear shorts again - and it’s all thanks to this chic polka dot print

Amal Clooney attends The King's Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration at The Royal Albert Hall on May 11, 2026 in London.

When it comes to dressing for warmer weather, I tend to self-consciously choose midi dresses over mini skirts or shorts. Knowing how to style shorts so you can wear them with confidence is a bit of an art form, and this outfit on Amal Clooney is convincing me not to overthink it!

She's pictured in Lake Como back in 2015, wearing a pair of black and white polka dot print shorts that are spot on for the spring/summer fashion trends 2026. Not only are polka dots everywhere at the moment, but on a pair of shorts, they also work to draw the eye to the shorts rather than towards any areas you're worried about showing. Pairing them with a simple black top and wedge sandals allows the shorts to be the statement piece.
