The spring trend of ruffles ruffles in fashion lives on from previous seasons' trends, showing that ruffles, if worn well, never really go out of style. You can wear them with any body type, any budget.

Peplums, flared ruffles attached to the waists of skirts for instance, are very hot on runways this season. You might have a peplum top that can be worn with skinny leg jeans. Because even the most stylish, thin and flouncy pepulm can add width, pairing the piece with another piece that is more straight lined and closer fitting will be flattering and allow you to be seen. You won't be swallowed up by your outfit.

Designers are working with ruffles in all sorts of materials, in fashion and accessories, even interior design but they are all around us.

They remind you of the petals on the flowers in you garden. You're seeing the airy, sweet whipped cream that was in your coffee this morning. They may remind you of the rushing waves at the beach, luxurious hair styles. The wax as it drips down a burning candle has a similar look.

You see them in delicious gourmet food that's been artistically displayed on a plate, carnivore, omnivore or vegetarian! Ruffles are all around us in nature and in art. We've always wanted to adorn ourselves with them. And they aren't just for royalty, they're not just for the rich and famous.

Often highly feminine, ruffles can add movement to an outfit. They remind us of so much, we may not even consciously realize how drawn we are to them.

Ruffles may be applied lavishly or subtly on a garment or an accessory. They may be intricate and precise or lush and flowing, perhaps sparse. It depends on your preference, what else you're wearing and on your personal style.

Fun and flirty, the blouse or blazer is perhaps the most popular piece of clothing to carry ruffles, drawing attention to the top and to your face. Anyone who ever watched the famous British comedy Are You Being Served? knows, ruffles or frills, are suitable for business as much as they are for casual attire. It all depends on how you wear them.

Ruffles may look urban or highly feminine, home-spun or high-fashion. The variety available today affords us a brilliant array of bags, clutches and totes so we may often have an assortment in our collection. What you'd bring to a wedding would probably not be the same as what you'd require for a business meeting. A trip to a business convention or vacation trip, a night on the town, going to a show, to your in-laws' house for dinner, on a date, these all may call for something different.

Mixing it up, with accessories such as scarves, jewelry, shoes and hose may bring out just what you're trying to express. Check fashion and style magazines that you respect to get ideas for what may suit you.

Consider your body type. Remember that ruffles add volume. Choose the style, fabric and design of the garment wisely.

If you are larger on top, you may want to choose to wear fewer ruffles on a top. Have a row along the neckline or maybe a column down the center. You might even rather have the ruffles on your skirt or accessories. Just as you might avoid bold colors or pattern such as wide stripes, if you want to accentuate features, adding an attractive embellishment may call attention to your assets.

Contrast and balance are always beneficial in planning your look. Having an all-over ruffle outfit is probably not the best idea. Instead of wearing your cutest new metallic ruffle top with the muted ruffled skirt, why not wear the top on one day then the skirt on a different day, wearing them with more sleek, smooth hugging lines in complementary pieces. This will help each ruffled outfit to shine as you and its designer intended.

You can combine trends for the maximum impact. Metallics and jewel tones are very hot right now. Add a ruffle to either of these and you can't go wrong in the look or the investment.

A handbag or tote with expressive, exuberant ruffles such as a lovely Steve Madden or a Big Buddha Mia Bag may compete for attention with a ruffly blouse. Consider letting that bag get the attention it deserves by wearing a blouse with fewer embellishments.

Quality As with any other purchase, choose a garment or bag of the best quality in your price range. Shopping around and comparing products, saving money to buy the real deal, these tactics will serve you well in the end. Buying an authentic designer bag, for instance, is advised for getting the best possible product for your money as well as for moral, legal and sometimes even health reasons. How long will the item last? How well was it made and how was it made? How easy would it be to maintain?

Vegan Leather You don't have to sacrifice your principles to get that designer ruffle bag you've been seeing the celebrities carrying in the magazines.

Designers such as Steve Madden are using high quality vegan leather in their designs. Whether you're looking for a handbag, clutch, satchel or tote, you can feel good about your purchase and have a quality bag as well. Check to see what's available in this eco-friendly material.

Designer ruffled bags, like clothes, are available in many materials. The leather and synthetic leather are only one of the versions out there. A ruffled bag can be just as appropriate for any age as can a piece of clothing with a ruffle detail.

For the fun, flirty, ultra-feminine times, there are some very pretty fabric bags. Consider a multi-tiered ruffled bag for an outing, a trip to the grocery store, the beach, even dashing about as you plan your wedding.

There are some lovely pieces that can serve as gorgeous laundry bags, some charming in white, just perfect for brides and other very special occasions. Bring them along on a honeymoon or other trip. Use it daily to add charm to your bedroom or guest room.
