These frilly shirts have a reputation for being super feminine, flowy, and a little bit dressed up, but I’m not sure why. There are so many different versions of them that it’s hard to pin them down to one particular kind of style. There are shirts with small ruffled elements, like on the sleeves or along the bottom hem. There are tops with ruffles going down the middle, shirts that are full on ruffled all over and have a flair for the dramatic, and other options that tend to look more professional. There are so many ways to wear them, and they can be a lot more fun than just your standard t-shirt. Want to add some dramatic glam to your look this summer? Check out these style tips on how to wear a ruffled top now:
1. If you really want to stick with the feminine elements of a ruffled top, wear it with a pretty midi skirt and heels for your next fancier event.
2. Want something more casual? A lightly ruffled peplum top with jeans is the way to go.
3. Ruffles around the neckline and on sleeves is a lot of look, but don’t be afraid to add on with layers of bold necklaces. Just keep the rest of your outfit simple.
4. Wear an elaborate printed ruffled top and mix it with other prints. Some people keep things more simple with ruffled shirts since they’re such a statement piece.
5. A ruffled crop top is a really cute and fresh way to take on the trend. Add boyfriend jeans and slip on sneakers to keep it casual and comfortable.
6. High-waist shorts are another way to make off-the-shoulder ruffled tops work perfectly for daytime looks.
7. Pair a feminine ruffled top with an unexpected accessory, like these flatform sandals.
8. A loose off-the-shoulder ruffled top looks perfect with black jeans and sandals. This can easily be worn for a night out or during the day.

10. If you want something more subtle, opt for a shirt with ruffled sleeves. This kind of top looks really pretty with a skirt and flats.
11. Another subtle way to get in on the trend is to choose a shirt that has small ruffles along the bottom.
