The Style Update: Ruffles

Upping your style game sometimes boils down to embracing one simple detail. Right now it’s all about the ruffle. The key to wearing them, if ruffles aren’t really your thing, is to keep the look simple rather than Little-Bo-Peep frilly. An artfully placed ruffle can turn a simple shape into a fun statement-maker.
