The puff sleeve has had its time in the spotlight. Now, it's time to make space in your wardrobe for another hot item: the ruched top! We've seen it on celebrities and fashion girls alike, which proves how insta-famous this It blouse really is. Just in case you're not aware of what 'ruched' means, it's when fabric is gathered to make tight folds (almost like really thin pleats) to create texture in the clothing.
What makes the ruched top a go-to piece is its typically dainty style that almost borders on being ultra-feminine. Don't think that it's reserved for those with romantic style sensibilities though, because some designs incorporate gritty surprises like dark prints, lush velvets, and keyhole details.
How Celebs Are Wearing Ruched Tops
Check out how these celebrities fashioned the trend themselves:
