Ruffles are one of my favorite fashion trends of the season, especially ruffle sleeve tops. As someone who likes to splurge on a great pair of jeans, shoes and handbags, I like to be more budget-friendly on shirts (unless it’s a great basic). This weekend I did a little online shopping and found some cute ruffle sleeve tops under $50 that are absolutely perfect for late spring and summer. I shared this top on Instagram today, and bought a few others that I’m looking forward to featuring over the next few weeks.
Ruffle sleeve tops are a celebrity fashion favorite, and are perfect for casual Friday at the office, church, brunch, or weekends with friends. They can also be dressed up with a great pair of pants (or skirt) and jewelry for date night, and are fun with a pair of distressed denim shorts for music festival season or a backyard barbecue with friends! I personally love this style top with ankle length cropped denim jeans and wedge sandals for summer!
If you’re searching for a trendy and affordable ruffle sleeve top for spring and summer, you’re in luck! I scoured the net and found a few trendy ruffle sleeve tops under $50.
