Oh, the frill of it all. From Ellery’s crisp crepe blazer with regal, cascading sleeves to Gucci’s prim silk blouse with its pussy-bow detail, you can count on ruffles to add just the right amount of romance to your wardrobe. But why stop there? Emile Henry’s fiery red dish ups the appeal of your apple pie, while Lenox’s wavy bowl is a whimsical addition to any table or mantlepiece. Rosie Assoulin’s 2016 resort collection relied heavily on ruffles, with pinstripe pants and even a purse boasting the bold detail. The more flounce to the ounce, the better, we say.
