I’ve been saving my ruffled shirts for the warmer weather, when I don’t need to pull a layer like a jacket or sweater over them – it’s constricting and ruins how the top looks. These shirts can definitely be the star of your look, but you can also pick options that aren’t overwhelming – it’s really up to you, like so much else in the fashion world. But if you need a little inspiration, we’ve got you covered. Here are some ways to wear ruffled shirts this season, with outfit ideas that you’ll be more than a little tempted to steal. Honestly? I don’t blame you – I’m probably doing the same thing.
1. For an easy spring outfit, pair your ruffled shirt with jeans and mules or ankle boots.
2. Opt for a ruffled shirt with embroidery on it for a very feminine look that doesn’t require much else.
3. Dress up a pair of ripped jeans with a ruffled shirt and a pair of heels.
4. Pair a ruffled shirt with denim shorts and flat sandals for a casual and easy summer outfit.
5. You can dress down a really ruffled shirt that’s on the fancier side with a pair of jeans and simple sneakers.
6. Or just keep your ruffled shirt on the fancier side by wearing it with a mini skirt and a pair of heels.
7. You don’t need to go crazy with the ruffles – ruffled sleeves and an otherwise plain outfit looks really cute too.
8. Combine two trends in one: bold stripes and ruffled tops are a perfect match.
9. Tuck your shirt into a pair of high waisted jeans for an easy but put together look.
10. Floral ruffles are super feminine and pretty, and they look great with a pair of pointy toe flats.
11. Add a hat and a pair of denim cut-offs for a more boho, relaxed vibe.
12. A cropped ruffled shirt is really cute with a pair of high-waisted trousers.
13. Mix a ruffled shirt with another standout piece, like a lace or crochet skirt.
14. An off the shoulder ruffle stands out without being over the top, and looks great with a simple pair of jeans.
15. Give a super feminine ruffled top a little more of an edge with a pair of combat boots.
16. These ruffled shirts that tie in the front are super trendy right now, so if you’re into that, they look great with a pair of jeans and heels.
17. Go for a boho outfit by pairing your ruffled shirt with flared jeans with embroidery.
18. Instead of just a top, go for a ruffled jumpsuit like this one.
19. A whole bunch of little ruffles on a shirt can look just as adorable as one or two big ones.
20. Pair a ruffled crop top with a maxi skirt for an easy, breezy summer outfit.
