Sorry to my denim skirts, but a new skirt trend has burst into my wardrobe this season and shaken up my summer style like nothing else I own. A breath of fresh against the backdrop of serious silhouettes that crept in during the “quiet luxury” movement, the ruffle skirt trend offers a playful retort to the polished look that has come to dominate my wardrobe.
Creating a playful silhouette that’s laced with an effortlessly romantic vibes, a ruffle skirt indulges in lavish layers and excess volume.
Reminiscent of the bubble skirt‘s voluminous shape, this trending style offers similar drama, with the added element of a boho effect.
Nodding to the rising boho trend that’s been appearing on runways for the past few seasons, the ruffle skirt trend follows a similarly flowy design, utilising excess fabric to create extra motion in the garment, so it moves beautifully with you as you walk.
A new favourite offering amongst designer and high street retailers, I’ve spotted ruffle skirts at so many of my favourite brands. From H&M’s shirred and ruffled mini, to Damson Madder’s pretty chequered style, the trends is set to boom throughout the remaining summer months.
