How to Make Ruffled Tops Fit Into Everyday Life

This Spring, the Goddess look rules with floating layers of diaphanous materials such as chiffon and cascades of romantic ruffles, lace and eyelet. As a normal American woman during what seems to be apocalyptic times, I’m not interested in buying extreme fanciful fashions. I don’t have very many fancy places to go and live a practical, busy life. So I’m really interested in enjoying the few ruffled tops that I already own as I go about my daily business. If you have a ruffled top or two as well, I hope you will benefit from the outfit ideas I’ve collected here. Or maybe you will find at least one to acquire that fits into your wardrobe. I’ve found ways to make ruffled tops fit into everyday life. And age doesn’t matter.

Ruffled Tops for Everyday Life

Here’s what’s covered in today’s post:

Ruffled tops are perfect for Spring and Summer, of course, so I started with outfit ideas for the warm seasons. And then, there are easy ways to wear these delightful tops during Fall and Spring in-between weather and the colder days of Fall and Winter. Following that, you’ll find outfit combinations for easy evenings out. And finally, this post ends with basic business outfits that meld the masculine with the the feminine for the perfect blend of opposites.

I hope this helps to bring out the Goddess in you and adds a touch of romance to your days. Because remember:  you deserve it!

Ways to Wear Ruffled Tops During Spring & Summer

• Tuck a ruffled top into jeans. Belt it and add a necklace, bracelets, earrings & a hat.
• Wear a ruffled top over a crinkle skirt or tiered skirt. You might add gemstone earrings.

• A ruffled top + a printed (such as floral or polka-dot) skirt. You might like to add a gold link necklace.
• Tuck a navy ruffled top inside a navy printed maxi skirt, or match any color top to a color in the printed skirt. Add a braided belt + two pendants in neckline + a bracelet + earrings + tan sandals + a straw hat. 

• An ivory or pale color ruffled top + white jeans, pants or skirt. Add gold:  big gold earrings, necklaces, a cuff, bangles, rings.

• Wear a ruffled top with shorts or skorts.

Ways to Wear Ruffled Tops Anytime

Generally, pull out your ruffled tops and see how many combinations you can get with your skirts, pants and jeans – whether solid or not. Try mixing prints in similar colors. 

During transitional weather, ruffled cuffs look romantic peeking out from jacket sleeves.

1. During transitional weather, Spring or Fall, add a denim jacket and maybe a scarf to a ruffled top.
2. For an easy classic combo, pair any ruffled top with any color jeans. Accessorize as desired.
3. Try a ruffled t-shirt with blue jeans. Then add a beret, earrings & a big ring.
4. Tuck a ruffled blouse into blue jeans and top with a vest.
5. Warm up a ruffled top and blue jeans with a cardigan. Try them all in blues for a monochrome look. Add sneakers. 
   

   

6. Pair a ruffled top with a jean skirt. You might like to belt it and add hoop earrings & sandals or boots.
7. Top a ruffled top and any bottoms with a draped cardigan.  
8. Pair a ruffled blouse with pants or a pencil skirt. Add super-long beaded necklaces or a multi-chain tiered necklace that hangs right down to the waist.
9. A ruffled top + khakis.

Ways to Wear Ruffled Tops in Fall & Winter

1. Wear a ruffled top over cropped pants or gauchos with boots.
2. Pair a ruffled top with a faux leather skirt or pants. You might like to add a studded or embellished belt.
3. Choose a ruffled velvet or sweater-knit top with bottoms of your choice. Add booties.

Outfits With Ruffled Tops for Easy Evenings

1. Dress up a ruffled top and jeans with a scarf vest, chain belt, chain bracelets, necklace, earrings and gold or silver footwear.
2. Pair a poet’s shirt with blue jeans. Add a pearl pendant or a red or gold pendant in neckline.
3. Wear a ruffled top or romantic billowy blouse with denim bottoms & sneakers.
4. Tuck a ruffled top into a pencil skirt or floral skirt and top with a denim jacket. You might like to belt the skirt.

Wearing Ruffled Tops for Business

Opposites attract when a ruffled top meets a suit! In that vein, pair your ruffled tops with any of your menswear pieces.

1. Tuck a white ruffled blouse into black trousers and belt in leopard. Add pearls & loafers.
2. Match a ruffled top to a blazer (such as both in navy or white) and wear over red pants. Add accessories in the two colors you used (hoops, rings, a scarf.) You might like to tuck and belt it.

I hope I’ve made it easy for you to wear ruffled tops in new outfit combinations, bringing a bit of romantic joy to your days.
