Fun, flirty and feminine; tiered ruffles are a must-wear for spring and summer. Whether silky or knitted, two tiers or more, these versatile flirty frocks provide a plethora of styling options. Pair with cut off or rolled denim shorts, a denim mini skirt or your best jeans. You can let the tiers float freely or tame them by belting the waist. Take a style que from Just Cavalli and go bare-legged or from Moschino and slide tights or leggings underneath. Keep it simple and let the ruffled layers be your accessory or add bold, chunky pieces like Maurizio Pecoraro. And everything from platforms to flats to chic booties will fashionably complete your look.
Slouched short cowboy boots add a western-chic touch to your ensemble. Try the microsuede upper of Connie's 'Dolly', the rounded square toe of Rampage's 'Lucky' or Forever 21's Brianda slouched boot. They look great paired with tucked in jeans, a mini skirt and especially denim shorts like Forever 21's 'Florelle' frayed denim short.
The center of attention and ahead of the fashion pack is where you'll be in this eye-catching avant-garde ensemble. Emilio Pucci's signature Madeira printed dress with it's complex tailoring paired with Giuseppe Zanotti's standout-and up-leather-edged vinyl strapped wedge with cut-out detail make for true boundary-pushing style. Accessorize with Marni's quirky yet chic wavy horn bracelet and Armani Exchange's fabric wrapped metal hoop earrings, but don't forget Santi's elegantly colorful sequined clutch-unexpectedly different which makes it oddly perfect.
style is so personal . . . it is a visual extension of thoughts, feelings and moods, which is why it can change ever so subtly or in the most grandeur fashion and, when it is genuine, can never truly be wrong.
