Why Big Ruffles Are The Hottest NYFW Street Style Trend Now

Anything with ruffles tend to play up the girliness of an outfit, but the looks we've spotted here - lensed by streetstyle photographers like Tommy Ton and Adam Katz Sinding of Le 21eme - show how fashion week showgoers are turning it into something a lot more sophisticated and grown-up.

Anna Dello Russo goes for the ruffles-on-ruffles look - and she makes it work by keeping her (typically loud) accessories to a minimum.

Fashion editor Elena Psalti makes her ruffled bottom look edgier by pairing it with chunky graphic bracelets.

Russian stylist Anya Ziourova's ruffled dress is teamed with a harness, so the overall effect is a lot chic-er.
