Ruffled

Ruffles Instyle

Ruffles from Gucci, Chloe, Balenciaga, and Givenchy via Instyle.

Ruffles are making a big impact on Spring 2013 fashion.  It has been awhile since the ruffle flounced its way onto multiple runways; the last time that ruffles appeared in such numbers, they were more of the prarie variety than today’s modern, sculptured masterpieces.  It seems like the ruffle is this season’s extension of the still popular peplum trend.  My best advice for buying ruffles that will have staying power is to buy a piece with a smaller dose, perhaps a classic sheath or skirt with a ruffle on the bottom.

Here are some of my favorite ruffled pieces:

What’s your history of wearing ruffles?  What is the likelihood that you’ll don ruffles this spring?

  1. Ruffles is all I plan to wear this spring! I love the romantic and airy feel ruffles evoke. I have been eyeing the Chloe RTW runway look no. 33 and I recently stumbled upon a tiered skirt by Narcisco Rodriguez. Can’t wait to get my hands on both of these looks!
