Celebrities and Fashion Icons Can’t Get Enough of This Boho Dress Trend

As September approaches, I typically gear up with button-down shirts and cigarette trousers. However, this season, I’m fully embracing a trend that’s quite the opposite of structured fashion. Captivated by the drama, ruffles, and frills, the ruffle dress trend is set to dominate my wardrobe.

The ruffle dress trend is taking over where slip dresses once held sway. It’s everywhere, from high street to designer brands, and has been spotted on countless influencers and celebrities. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before these stylish garments found their way into my shopping cart.

Introduced by Chloé’s autumn/winter 2024 runway collection, the ruffle trend has quickly made its way into wardrobes this season. It’s a clear celebrity favorite; I’ve seen Sienna Miller donning ruffle dresses from Chloé on multiple occasions. I even noticed Suki Waterhouse wearing a frilly maxi dress from Chloé as she opened for Taylor Swift recently.

While some people have embraced bold ruffles, others have opted for a more minimalist approach, styling slinky dresses with subtle ruffle details.

The extra fabric of ruffle dresses adds beautiful movement to your walk, infusing a romantic touch into your style in an effortlessly chic manner.

Daisy Edgar Jones has also embraced this trend, recently styling a ruffled ensemble from Chloe’s autumn/winter collection. Her take on the trend was relaxed, undone, and incredibly stylish.

A step up from the tulle trend with its volume and drama, the ruffle dress trend offers a softer vibe and a more wearable silhouette that’s perfect for early autumn.

After its success on the runway, this trend has naturally trickled down to high street fashion. Mango, for instance, offers a lavishly ruffled dress that’s bound to sell out quickly. H&M, Zara, and Anthropologie also have their own compelling versions.

I predict that the trend is just getting started. Expect to see a lot more from Chloé, plenty of frills, and widespread adoption of the style during the upcoming fashion weeks.

For an easy way to add playful and whimsical elements to your wardrobe, look no further than the ruffle dress trend. Here’s a glimpse of how some fashion enthusiasts are styling this trend:

Some fashionistas have taken a minimalist approach, sporting lightly ruffled dresses.

Anthropologie offers a Let Me Be Long-Sleeve Ruffle Mini Dress for £160, perfect when styled with knee boots or chunky clogs.

H&M features a Flounced Chiffon Dress for £35 that can be layered over a slip dress or worn on its own.

Reformation’s Tripoli Dress, priced at £348, is available in seven other colors, allowing for plenty of options.

An asymmetric hem complements the effortless charm of the ruffle dress trend.

Zara has a Pleated Asymmetric Dress With Ruffles for £30, riding the halterneck dress trend this season.

Rixo’s Ossy Ruffled Tiered Floral-Print Silk Crepe De Chine Maxi Dress, priced at £425, can be styled with tights and boots, making it ideal for the autumn season.

Zara also offers a Zw Collection Ruffled Dress With Lace for £70, although it tends to run small.

Another great option from H&M is the Flounced Chiffon Dress for £55, which also comes in a delicate white floral print.

As autumn approaches, consider opting for a floor-length ruffle dress paired with tall suede boots, transitioning seamlessly from summer to the cooler months.

This ruffle dress trend isn’t just confined to high fashion; it’s stepping into the mainstream with gusto this season. Embrace it, and enjoy the romantic, whimsical charm it brings to your wardrobe.
