Red was the popular fashion color of Fall & Winter 2025 and, indeed, it’s a hot one for anytime. However, now for Spring & Summer electric blue is the cool trend. Doesn’t it seem that fashions always switch to opposites, one after the other? I could be suspicious and think that the industry just wants us to buy more so they change things on us. Or, more charitably, I also see these changes as refreshing ideas to offer variety and keep things interesting!

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.

Or, they can be layered with warm things to stay cozy in the cold seasons. They go great with feminine, lacy, frilly clothes; they dress down fancy outfits; and they can shine with sparkly and classy accessories like diamonds and pearls. This versatility makes denim jackets such a big topic that I’ve decided to break down my outfit ideas into five different blog posts over time.
