Would You Wear… a Layered Ruffle Sleeve Top?

It’s unexpected, trendy, and so fun.

It’s storytime! Every few years, we fall in love with ruffles. We buy ruffle dresses, tops, and skirts. Then as time goes on, we fall out of love with ruffles and stand in our closest with horror, tossing out the ruffled pieces we thought we loved so much, wondering why we liked them in the first place. (Can any of you relate?)

This season, it’s the layered ruffle sleeve top that has us rethinking our on-again-off-again relationship with this look. I mean, how cute is that striped Free People one up top?!

Layered ruffle sleeves are architectural and feminine, but also polarizing. We think we’re obsessed but… is this something we’ll hate in six months? We need your help on this one, as we can’t decide whether we really want to put ruffles all over our arms.  

Layered ruffle sleeve trend (left to right): long plum sweater from Anthropologie, pale pink ruffle pullover sweater from Target, and tiered ruffle burgundy sweater from Forever 21.

    Oh, man, I love this trend, and will stockpile a bunch of ruffled tops whenever they’re in fashion, and then break them all out again whenever they’re back in fashion, which I have definitely been doing now. Aside from the addition of multilayered ruffles, I don’t find this year’s ruffles are all that different from previous years’ ruffles.
