The fashion girl`s guide to wearing ruffles

Did you thought that ruffles and frills were only for `Toddlers and Tiaras`? Well, this season they’re back, decorating collars, hemlines and forming all-over cascading tiers, providing us with fashion’s most romantic trend. But what do you do if you`re not a delicate flower? Now you might say: I stay away from them! But that`s not necessary. Fortunately there are so many ways to make a trend your own and bring an edge to it.

With the ruffles trend slipping into my subconscious mind I ended up picking this gorgeous ruffled top from Salient label, which is so perfect for summer. And because the sweet girl look is not right up my alley, I knew exactly how to give it a modern edge.

In order to bring edge to an outfit I always think masculine vs. feminine and hard vs. soft. So I `punked up` this top by teaming it with a studded biker vest, flatform sandals and a choker. All these pieces act as game- changers when teamed with a soft, feminine clothing item.

If you`re thinking about giving ruffles a modern twist here are other ideas:

• Wear ruffled pants with sliders to give them a sporty feel.
• Try a ruffled crisp shirt. It goes with anything and it`s has the perfect masculine| feminine mix already.
• Want to try ruffled sleeves? Pair them with cropped leather pants and sneakers.
• Dress down a ruffled top by wearing it with a pair of track pants and a simple pair of high heeled ankle strap sandals. Tracksuits are a also a major trend this season.
• Make a ruffled dress seem more casual by pairing it with a bomber jacket and a skinny choker.
