The "Donning" Of A New Age
I've always had a passion for ruffles and and bows
But these aren't just for little girls
These aren't just the pieces worn by our 'serious-faced' ancestors in portraits
It's regal
Feminine
Timeless
A nostalgic feel withy the ritz of a royal
Bows around neck era
Bows in hair
Bows on dresses in back with bustle

Ruffles around neck line
Valentino
If there's one guy that comes to mind that does ruffles right is my main man Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren at New York Fashion Week Fall 2009
His
His proper chic all-American style gives class to every generation
The "couture bow"... I remember it well from my interning days at Valentino...
they have perfected sheer elegance
The importance is to not overdo it and carried away as these details can be overwhelming if taken to far... Let them speak for themselves and go simple chic for the rest of your attire
A nice blazer is a great masculine touch to a the ultra-femme ruffles and bows...

Ruffles around the neckline and face ... Keep the make up and necklaces simple if
wearing any...
Big earrings can take away from the neckline ruffle and make your neck look shorter with too many details drawing in from the earrings and up from the neckline ruffle
A little bit goes a long way ...
Even a touch of a bow or ruffle will make you want to politely curtsy to every gent you meet...
