12 ways ruffles can be the flirty, feminine wardrobe staple you crave this summer
Rufflemania is on prominent display this summer. Frills, flounces, flutters â€" whatever the term you use, the decidedly feminine ruffle is front and center once again this season.
“Like everything, there is definitely a way to make ruffles your own,†says Caroline Constas, whose eponymous New York-based brand designs with heavy use of ruffles. “It really depends where the ruffle placement is. You just have to find that style that is right for you.â€
And if they’re your thing, you’re in luck. Designers and brands are using ruffles for edgier lines or, in some cases, bold one-shoulder or cold-shoulder looks (or in some combination), which offer a chic vibe.
“I love femininity, [and] ruffles are the essence of femininity, romance and sensuality. And that is very much my style,†Constas says. “I think they†™re graceful, feminine and fun. And feminine is never going to go out of style.â€
Without question, ruffles are also joyful to wear. “They have personality,†she says. “You feel like you are wearing something special.â€
Here, brands and designers, including Constas, put their spin on the ultra-feminine ruffle.
