It’s nearly summer, so it’s about time to consider what cropped looks we’ll want to wear on sweltering days. One trend that we’re loving this year is ruffles – and while we can’t get enough of them on dresses, ruffle crop tops are really calling to us. From flounce tops to structured shirts, there are plenty of ways to rock a ruffled crop top, and we love them all.
One of our favorite takes on the trend came when Lana Condor attended the Kids’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles on March 23. The To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before star showed up on the orange carpet at the Galen center wearing an adorable white crop top by Giamba that featured flouncy sleeves and a scalloped hem. This shirt would look super cute with a denim skirt or some wide-leg pants like the ones Lana styled it with. She opted for bright red trousers designed by Jonathan Simkhai to round out her look.
If you’re not convinced that these feminine details are having a moment, just look at what’s being worn on the runway. During Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini’s Spring Summer 2019 show, Stella Maxwell modeled a frilly white crop top that featured everything from lace ruffles to polka dotted sheer panels. The look for the Milan Fashion Week show was finished off with cream and white striped shorts, a braided belt, and off-white ankle booties.
Gigi Hadid has also made a case for ruffles. She stepped out in New York City on July 19, 2018 while sporting a tangerine crop top with bubble sleeves from brand Slashed By Tia. Her beauty look was particularly feminine, with her wearing her hair in long, gorgeous waves and opting for an orange nail polish to match her shirt.
The supermodel pulled the entire look together with Re/Done flood jeans, a bright bucket bag, and suede strappy heels. Clearly there are plenty of excellent ways to style ruffle crop tops this season! Get clicking through the gallery above to see how even more stars have worn their ruffle crop tops and flounce shirts!
