Ruffles are one of the rare trends I actually left in elementary school. Though overalls, chunky sneakers and ’90s AF colorblock sweaters have all found their way back to my wardrobe, ruffles never really have. They feel frilly, delicate, dainty—the antithesis of the edgy, fun and uber-practical vibe I’m going for each time I get dressed. But when I learned ruffles were among the top 2019 fashion trends set to pervade my world for the next 12 months, I reconsidered.

Ruffles made something of a comeback in 2018, when a handful of designers showed them at September’s New York Fashion Week. Rodarte debuted a tiered evening gown, rendered in layers of pastel lace. Carolina Herrera opted for a colonial-meets-contemporary take on the trend, showing a yellow and white gown comprised of four massive ruffles. And Michael Kors premiered an all-black-everything resort look—a black bikini top, black hoodie and black tulle ruffled pants.
Considered together, these looks convey the sheer versatility of ruffles—proving to skeptics, like me, that they aren’t necessarily as frilly, delicate or dainty as they initially appear. They also foreshadowed our impending reality: Ruffles are among the top 2019 fashion trends we’ll see everywhere next year, and it’s about time we got on board.
