6 Ways of How to Wear Ruffle Tops For Different Styles
Even though this ruffle top has a feminine vibe, it can be worn with all kinds of style and clothing items. In order to concentrate more about the style for this post, I kept the color combination the same for each outfit.
And if you need another example, you can see it with leggings too.
To me ruffles mean girly, feminine and somewhat dressy. So my first thought of how to wear ruffle tops was how I’d expect most of my friends to style it. I paired it with a black pencil skirt and heels. Of course I had to add in a totally different color with my purse and earrings.
“Girly” evokes thoughts of being a good girl, so wouldn’t it be fun to pair the top with something sassy instead? I pulled out my black shorts (which I have worn this summer) along with fishnet stockings and OTK boots.
One of the opposites of dressy is more casual, so I grabbed a pair of black jeans. These black jeans I consider a tad more dressier than skinny or distressed jeans, so it was a nice compromise. I added a burgundy belt and my “Bristol” pumps from Walking Cradles. (These shoes have a heel that is less than 2 inches so super comfy). The plaid purse and tassel earrings carried the burgundy into the outfit.
Insider tip: This belt is a self belt from a dress. I try to remove all self belts and hang them with my belts (instead of on the piece itself) so I can wear them with other outfits.
One thought of a dichotomy with the ruffles was something edgy or hard as opposed to girly and soft. For this outfit, I pulled out my black faux leather skirt. These “ Shine” snakeskin Walking Cradle ankle boots were the perfect footwear choice.

Could you wear your ruffles to work? Of course that all depends where you work. It certainly would be easy enough to hide them under a blazer. However, I wanted to see if I could make the other elements look office appropriate. For this style of outfit, I wore my black pants that I wore to work almost weekly along with patent oxford shoes. The “tie” is actually a beaded necklace that my mom gave to me.
Ruffles and boho seem as extreme as you can get. So I chose this fringe skirt to show off a bohemian vibe. Obviously I was loving animal prints with this color combination because this time I grabbed my zebra print heels, belt and earrings.
