Spring Trend: Ruffles

Good news for girly-girls! Flirty ruffles showed up on everything from hemlines to sleeves on the spring fashion runways of Balenciaga, Ralph Lauren and Gucci. No matter if they were fringing around the face or curling off the hips, the structural ruffles of this season are more modern than the more relaxed ones of previous seasons, updating this feminine detail to make it feel new once more. I suggest if you haven’t already tried out this spring look, then add some drama and some panache to your closet with a ruffled piece such as a feminine dress, sheer blouse, or hot minidress!

How to Wear:
In all honesty ruffles looked stunning on the runway, but their conversion into real life have proved to be a slight challenge. For an easy way to wear them try out a frilly skirt or two. Or, try a dramatic ruffled blouse paired with streamlined pants. On the other hand, if you decide to go for a more bold look – wearing ruffles that wind around your neck or fall down your shoulder – put your locks back in a smooth hairdo so it doesn’t clash or get in the way of the ruffles. These large ruffles also pair well with heels or sandals in a complementary (NOT matching) color.
