Children, creepy dolls, anything associated with the word "cutesie" — that's what used to come to mind whenever we imagined ruffled clothes. But somewhere in the midst of Fall '16 Fashion Month, our minds immediately changed: ruffles were everywhere, from the runway to the street [1], and they definitely weren't the kind we remember rocking as kids.

From those sexy Elie Saab dresses [2] to tiered looks fit for the beach, we're dying to get our hands on this revamped style. Scroll through for a few ways to wear it, then shop what you need to nail the trend.
