RUFFLE ’EM UP

A ruffle here, a ruffle there, ruffles, ruffles everywhere. Seriously, though — you’d be hard pressed to find a women’s clothing store that doesn’t have a single ruffled piece in its arsenal this season. And what’s not to love? Pretty, flattering, and jus

PLAYING DRESS UP

There’s nothing quite like scoring a vintage find … but if you don’t have hours to spare, there’s always Little Moon, Aritzia’s latest in-house brand. We love its ’70s-inspired statement pieces and quirky embroidery, trims and other details, as well as this retro “Teline” floral dress with cascading tiers of ruffles. Aritzia, aritzia.com | $255

PINK PANTHER

The “Vera” slides by Loeffler Randall are both deliciously retro and of-themoment. Whether it’s their practical block heel, subtle ruffle detailing or #MillennialPink, dusty rose hue, we love them teamed with sheer socks and a summer-ready denim skirt. Nordstrom, nordstrom.com | $465

BECAUSE RIHANNA

ICYMI (that’s “in case you missed it” for those of you less well-versed in millennial speak), Rihanna has a range of ready-to-wear items and accessories she designed and produced in collaboration with Puma. The Fenty x Puma collection, now in its second season, includes this leather, nylon and mesh ruffled backpack. We’re just impressed it hasn’t already sold out. Hudson’s Bay, thebay.com | $350

NAVY SEALS

If you’re the cynical sort, or you’re just not sold on ruffles (too young! too girlie! too frou-frou!), try this quilted barn jacket. If its flattering length, easy snap buttons and practical patch pockets don’t win you over, we’re not sure anything will as far as this trend goes. Joe Fresh, joefresh.com | $69

LACE EMBRACE

Ready to commit? Whether that rings true for you (or not) in the relationship department is none of our business, but if you’re ready to commit to romance of the sartorial kind, this “Zania” lace top is just the thing for you. Ted Baker, tedbaker.com | $295
