Feminine, flirty, and ravishing, ruffles are just the accent you need to give life to any outfit.
They not only lend flair and movement to your garment, but ruffles also make for a romantic and whimsical touch.
Basically, this frilly and flouncy fashionable detail has all the elements of a style- elevating essential.
Ruffles can definitely transform any attire that is basic or simple into something more playful yet refined, adding layers of texture and charm with minimal effort.
They’re also perfect for combining romantic and edgy styles as ruffles can soften the edges of structured silhouettes, creating a sense of proportion between sharp lines and soft details.
And, the best news is that they are currently trendy.

While some do add volume to the silhouette, which might make one appear bigger in size, slight ruffles add just the right amount of texture, giving the outfit alittle drama and dimension.
Our top pick is from Issey Miyake’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection in the form of a modern black suit for men.
The ruffle accent on the sides of the trousers is oh-so subtle yet stylish, perfect for those who prefer understated accents.
Why, the ruffles, positioned close to the hips, even help shape the wearer’s silhouette beautifully.
From Valentino comes a strapless blue polka-dot dress with cascading ruffles.
Looking quite like a prom dress from the 80s, this piece from the Italian label’s new creative director Alessandro Michele is a cool design that mixes old-school charm with contemporary edge.
Another evening stunner from Valentino is a red dress with a cascading tiered skirt, chic bow belt and pleated, ruffled collar.
A matching turban completes the stylish ensemble.
Glamorous with a boho chic vibe is a black dress from Chloe’s Spring/Summer 2025 line-up.
Featuring a short front, long trailing back, ruffles, and gathered details, the dress has a captivating charm, glamorous appeal, and an unapologetically bold style.
