The ruffle top is making a comeback as the must-have item of clothing this season, drawing inspiration from the frilly dresses and blouses of the 1950s. If you’re on the fence about the ruffle trend, we’ve got plenty of good reasons for you to add this statement piece to your wardrobe.
Like pickles, ruffles can either be loved or hated. Ruffles are not tolerated in a nonchalant manner; wearers do not feel neutral about them, thinking they neither complement nor detract from an outfit. Despite the divide, ruffles continue to be a popular fashion detail, seen on everything from hemlines to sleeves to even pant legs and adorning many off-the-shoulder necklines. When it comes to love, ruffles think of things like epic poetry and crying on fire escapes. Similar to that one friend who constantly texts you to meet at the beach on the weekend, ruffles evoke the carefree spirit of summer. These ruffles have transformed our city streets into a sea of cotton poplin sea anemones, our bars into Blackbeard’s shanty, and our storage racks into a milkmaid convention.

How To Wear A Ruffle Top
1. All About Balance
With their voluminous design and eye-catching silhouette, ruffle tops work best when styled with wide or slouchy bottoms. Think 90s inspired mom jeans, 70s wide leg trousers and pleated culottes to balance the trend. You can choose to complete the outfit with either chunky sneakers or cleated boots.
2. WFH Styling
A ruffle pattern can make an otherwise ordinary work outfit into something special, especially if you do your job from home. Ruffle blouses add shape and interest to tailored pants and blazers, perfect for days spent at the kitchen desk. Video chats and online catch-ups are still opportunities to look your best. In 2021, ruffles will be a staple of professional attire, marking off a formal wardrobe with a modern flourish.
3. Keep It Casual
We have been living in our joggers for almost a year and we are not quite ready to give up our comfy pants. Fortunately, a ruffle top need not compromise convenience for style. If you want your top to remain in good standing with your loungewear rotation, stick to fluid silhouettes and airy patterns. Match your top with low-key pieces like relaxed jeans and trainers for the ultimate in laid-back perfection when you’re out and about.
4. Give It A Twist
Certainly, ruffle tops draw more eyes than a plain tee, but that’s part of the appeal of the style. So, go ahead and show some personality by wearing bright colors and patterns. Dresses with ruffles, sweaters with ruffle details, and tiered skirts are also acceptable alternatives.
5. Wear It With Confidence
The most important thing to remember when styling a ruffle top is to do so with assurance. Naturally, we’re aware that this is easier said than done. Pair the trend with clothes you already own and love for a more relaxed experience. Ruffles are easy to incorporate into your wardrobe because they can be worn with anything from your favorite pair of jeans to your trusty side bag.
