Frill Seeker

Although ruffles have been around since the 16th century, fashion is making the feminine detail feel fresh again for Spring ’18. Flounce, frills and undulating folds imbue feminine charm across girls’ collections, paralleling popular styles seen in womenswear from labels like Mulberry, Chloé and Givenchy.

Childrenswear designers are experimenting with the voluminous embellishment from head to toe, bedecking everything from collars to hemlines. And while floppier furls are still a popular accent, architectural ruffles have been added to the mix for a more dramatic, sophisticated look. Best of all, consumers are expected to love the ease of a well-placed ruffle, replacing statement jewelry for the same flawless appearance.
