Several of you have mentioned recently that you love the idea of the ruffled trend for spring, but that you’re concerned about pulling it off without looking too girly & juvenile. I would say it certainly depends on the design of the piece, but it also depends on how you style it. For example, I tried on this ruffled sweatshirt the other day and, as comfortable as it was, it didn’t feel age-appropriate for me & looked more like I had raided my daughter’s closet. But, you can’t go wrong if you select a top with a more elegant feel & smaller ruffle detail.
To further elevate this trend, my advice is to pair these frilly pieces with more tailored styles to give them a sophisticated look. For example, I offset the sweetness of this sheer ruffled blouse with sleek flared trousers. These pants are one of my favorite recent purchases because they are so timelessly chic (and they’re under $20!). I’d also wear them with a striped sweater, a classic chambray shirt or a one-shoulder blouse.
