The ruffled statement: How Bollywood stars aced the look
Ruffles can make or break your look. We bring you Bollywood inspiration to get the style right.
Looking for drama, femininity and style? Ruffles might be your answer. From framing your neck to gracing your hemline to swirling around your legs, you can wear the style in a myriad ways. Ruffles — where fabric strip is gathered or pleated to create a pattern — need to be worn right, or you might end up looking like a five-year-old. Now, who’d want that?
Ace the look
As ruffles already involve a lot of drama, keeping the rest of your look simple would be ideal. When going for a ruffled neck or a top, keep your neck bare. It’s a good idea to tie your hair back in a pony or a bun to balance the look. Go for neat, structured frills to make a fashion statement.
