Spanish-inspired ruffles take center stage — PHOTOS
Dare to wear Spanish-inspired ruffles. They're playful, sophisticated and completely feminine!
Get ready to see ruffles take center stage. They're one of the most feminine and eye-striking additions you'll see this year. The sexy Spanish accent about them has been infused with a variety of creations; the kind you will start wishing to have on your fashion repertoire.
Get exited with vaporous and delicate frills in light fabrics to get the ethnic, Victorian, bohemian and even modern leather mood in your closet. What makes them totally desirable this time around, is their casual feel. They've been applied in such a spontaneous way, they seem totally new on blouses, dresses and skirts.
The gypsy costume feel you might be thinking of, is a thing of the past. The new ruffle approach is now discretely elegant, glamorous, and states girl power in a very covetable and creative manner.
You won't have to wear them in the French Riviera, ruffles can be the perfect fashion statement your office attire needs, or that extra something that makes a regular top versatile and trendy enough to invest in. If you are the girly type, or love and prefer a more modern hipster style, ruffles can be dainty, yet exude contradiction in tougher fabrics and designs.
How to wear them!
• Be surprised by how a ruffled top and a simple pair of capris or skinny jeans work with flats or sky-high heels.
• If wearing a two-piece outfit, prefer to wear ruffles on your upper or lower piece only.

Where to wear them!

• An outdoor Vegas wedding can be the perfect place to impose some Spanish style!
• Try them on a light fabric blouse with delicate ruffles to the office.
Make the best of them!
• Complement ruffled silhouettes with statement solid accessories that break and contrast the overall look. Go for cinching belts, minimal necklaces such as chokers and cuffs.
• Wear ruffles on the leanest section of your body, as they will add some volume to it.
• If worn on a one-tone outfit, select simple contrasting heels to bring some balancing attention to the simple pieces on your attire as well.
