I think that “ruffle” is one of the best words in the English language. It sounds just like it looks. A little bit squished but deliciously curved. With a note of sophistication it’s as delicate and affectionate as a high-class cupcake. This month you can use the word to your heart’s content, because ruffles rule. Add a simple ruffle snippet to your neckline and sleeves or go and run with the ruffle to create an architectural masterpiece of tiers and frills. Embellish a simple outfit with this shrug from French Connection, or for something a bit more casual get your dose of frills with a ruffle neck t-shirt blouse from Topshop. I think that the ruffle is best “ruffed” as the verb might be, in darker colours like black, claret and aubergine.
