Ruffles exude femininity — a dainty effect that flutters in the breeze. They create a very feminine, yet sophisticated look. The trend is being seen on everything from skirts and dresses to blouses and even shoes and it looks like it will carry into fall collections. If you're at all obsessed with street style like we are here at JOLIEGAZETTE you've likely recognized the voluminous set of ruffles below. Who is the designer? Ellery!

When placed in the hands of savvy fashion-setters like our Founder, Juliet Belkin, make for the ideal investment piece. Scroll down for our favorite Ellery ruffle looks, and check out its upcoming Ellery Resort 2017 Collection .
