THEromance is in the air. In the wardrobe of the Spring-Summer 2022 returns, just in time for his return to the post-pandemic office and the intense season of ceremonies, the shirt with ruffles. A classic, hyper-feminine piece with a refined and original twist thanks to the detail of rouches. Which earns a place in the sun even on the catwalk.

Where we have seen it
Slip, in silk or similar light fabrics, with airy sleeves and provided with studied micro pleating. This is the identikit of the blouse that has been held since the nineteenth century onwards. Key piece of the wardrobe princesses and noblewomen, it is no coincidence that it is among the favorite shirts of today’s royalty, from Kate Middleton to Rania of Jordan. At the Spring-Summer 2022 fashion shows it appears updated, without losing thatallure of yesteryear that distinguishes it: as on the catwalk of Rodarte.
The French Maison dusts off the stylistic features of the era of Maria Antoniettabringing on the catwalk an outfit that sees a revamped ruffled shirt as protagonist: a straight-cut model, decorated with rows of pleated flounces that appear as ribbons on the chest, arms, cuffs and even on the neck, as a refined ruff seventeenth century. Today, the mind immediately goes to the Bridgerton lookwhile the pastel color block detail makes it absolutely contemporary.

How to match the ruffle shirt in Spring 2022
The ideal look to match the romantic blouse? The winning combo, since time immemorial, is with the skirt: in Spring 2022, soft, with a cut midi and asymmetrical, in a neutral and bright color, as seen in the fashion show (and read in the novels). The shirt outfit with ruffles and skirt is completed by calf-length boots in beige leather, which disappear under the hem. The ensemble is finished off with a pair of crystal chandelier earrings: an eye-catching jewel to be copied especially in view of special occasions, easily replaceable in the daily look with golden and minimal hoop earrings.
Between past and present, without ever losing elegance: a mix to try and try again. Other ideas to match the shirt with a ruffle format Millennials: just a couple of straight jeans to play it down, wide black trousers to enhance its noblest side. With a pair of on his feet Mary Jane in patent leather, to recall the flounces that represent her more childish side. A baptism of style.
