Minimalist shirts have been the trend of choice for fashion experts for years. Oversized and boxy Oxford shirts and plain white tees have been the most popular clothing items for a long time. Many people think they are a must-have since they can be worn in so many different ways. But if you’re becoming bored with the same old look, I’m happy to say that a new trend is slowly but surely increasing in favor. Since the middle of the 2000s, pretty blouses have been collecting dust in the back of our closets. But thanks to the smart design team at Chloé, the boho renaissance that started in late 2024 is still going strong in 2025. It brings with it a whole new hero style: the ruffle front blouse.
Of course, the French would be the ones to start a trend like this. The streets of Paris are full of ageless, effortless flair and dreamy, ethereal energy. So don’t worry if you haven’t thought about ruffles in 10 years. The ruffle blouse 2.0 is current and new, and there are no floppy hats or tiered skirts in sight. You might want to treat yourself to a waistcoat, though. The lovely blouse is making a big reappearance in spring and summer, from Lille to London. Instead of wearing the same shirt you wore all fall and winter, this is a fun, stylish way to dress that even the most minimalist person can enjoy.
How can you make these clothes that look like they came from the Victorian era and the prairie ready for 2025? Of course, the secret is in the styling. You might want to go all out and add a lot of layers, but we’re borrowing style inspiration from the most fashionable people we follow and pairing them with high-rise jeans and suede totes now, and printed leggings and basket bags when the weather becomes warmer. Does that sound good? Keep reading to learn how the fashion set is wearing theirs and to find the top ruffle front blouses for sale.
How Influencers are Wearing Ruffle Front Blouses Now:
Style Notes: Sarah Corbett Winder’s look has a lot of modern boho elements that make it look like it could have been taken at a French market. Lace! Ruffles! Corduroy! This is a masterclass in how to make a romantic look feel real.
Style Tips: The higher the waistband, the more style points you get. Diane Kari just convinced us to wear cropped tops this summer, and thin jeans are coming back.
If Pia’s blouse attire doesn’t make you want summer to come, I don’t know what will. But for now, I’m sure that this outfit would look just as well with a trench coat or a suede or sheepskin jacket over it till the sun comes out more.
From the dark blue jeans to the easy-to-wear mules, this is a look that is definitely worth copying, direct from the streets of Paris.
