As the ladies above so aptly demonstrate, there are ample variations of ruffle-shoulder dresses available right now, so finding a style that works for you shouldn't be hard.
If the bright colors and big ruffles are putting you in a fashion panic, take a few deep breaths and remember that you can try the trend in a toned-down way too. Just look to the less-intense styles that fashion fanatics like Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo prefer. After all, who could resist the delicately detailed Poltock & Walsh Shoulder Ruffle Dress ($760) Alexa Chung wore to the Glamour Awards party in London earlier this summer? The frock, which is from P&W's S/S 09 line and already sold out, has a wildly flattering fit thanks to its shoulder-emphasizing and waist-cinching silhouette. Plus, we adore the soft nude oyster silk; the color allows Chung's peep-toe Chanel booties to really stand out. We know that many readers are interested in not-so-basic black versions of the trend, so we'll direct you to Olivia Palermo's interpretation for inspiration. As seen at Maybelline New York's celebration of the launch of Color Sensational Lipcolor, Palermo embraced the trend with the feather-embellished Thane Dress ($595) by Diane von Furstenberg. Paired with a slim belt, Wolford tights, and Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Platform Sandals ($760), she displayed a fashion-forward outfit that still looks polished and professional.
