Cheap Chic: Fall’s Love Affair with Ruffle Shoes
Trend Alert: Ruffle Shoes for Fall 2008
Prada’s ruffle pump is iconic of the fashion industry’s love affair with the romantic flourish as they decorate clothing and accessories from head to toe in a flurry of feminine detail for Fall.
As a balance to strong menswear influences, a contrast to sharp architectural silhouettes or a modern twist on naughty and nice, ruffles are a key look for winter wardrobes.
Though Prada set the standard, we scouted some fabulous “luxe for less” options to get you in-step with the season’s revamped Edwardian embellishment:
Qupid Pleated Denim Flat - $16.99 (Amazon.com). There’s no excuse to wear sneakers ever again when you can sport these casual-chic ruffled denim flats.
Delicious Satin Ruffle Heel — $18.99 (Amazon.com). Satin open toe heel with ruffle trim and large rosette embellishment, these 3.5” heels are the perfect pairing for a romantic candlelight dinner. Perhaps a proposal will follow . . .
American Eagle “Kricket” Wedge — $24.99 (Payless). Ruffled vamp detail dresses up this cute and casual wedge. Finished off with a bow and scallop detailing, comfort never looked so good. Includes a 2” heel and padded insole.
Mossimo “Irene” Peep-toe — $22.99 (Target). Add a pop of color and pizzazz to your outfit with these red, ruffle trim peep-toes. A bold accessory for work or a sexy LBD accent, these heels feature satin uppers, cushioned insoles and 3.5” wrapped heels for seamless perfection.
