This Romantic Sweater Trend Is About to Be Everywhere

Though we do love a good, healthy dose of athleisure, sometimes it feels good to put on something a little more formal, and what better way to make you feel a little fancy than a good ruffle sweater? Despite its frequent pairing with lace, the flouncy detail can definitely be cooler than you might expect.
As a nod to the romantic era, ruffles are one of the most whimsical types of embellishments out there, and they’re bound to make you feel dressed up no matter what you wear. Whether it’s paired with a set of distressed boyfriend jeans or a classic midi skirt, a cool ruffled sweater will instantly give you a flirtatious vibe.
Wear yours loud and proud with a great statement ruffle, or if that’s not typically your style, ease into the trend with small frills along the neckline or sleeves. No matter which way you go, you surely aren’t going to go wrong.
