How to Style a Ruffle Neck Blouse with Jeans
Frilly, feminine ruffle neck blouses are trending and the most popular way to wear one is with a pair of jeans or pants.
Why? Jeans and pants have a masculine vibe that balances out the sugary sweetness of this top and makes you look modern. I’ve paired this cute swiss dot blouse with raw hem jeans for a slightly rock n roll look.
1. Wear a Ruffle Neck Blouse with White Jeans
Another way I like to wear ruffle neck tops is to play up the boho vibe. This pretty one has a ruffle tie neckline and sleeves, giving it a 70’s hippie look. I took inspiration from that and added a pair of white flare jeans, a big boho hat, raffia earrings, and a straw bag.
2. Wear a Ruffle, Neck Blouse With Cropped Jeans
Cropped flare jeans are also popular and worn with a fussy, ruffle neck blouse is a fashion-forward way of dressing. It’s like the bottom half of the outfit says, I’m a bit of a rebel, while the top half says, I’m proper and ladylike.
If you read my Spring color report, you know that this pale yellow is one of the top colors for spring. Also trending are basketweave bags, and anything pearl, like these unique pearl easlights. You can wear cropped flares with flat sandals, but I like a small heel to make my legs look longer. These white mules work perfectly.
3. Try a Canadian Tuxedo Look
There’s been a lot of talk about the Canadian Tuxedo look defined as denim on denim. While I have no idea why they think that’s Canadian ( I’m Canadian, and we’ve never dressed this way), it is a popular style that you can tweak to work with a ruffle neck top.
This cute chambray blouse worn with a pair of faded blue jeans gives an attractive Canadian Tuxedo look. Pair it with gold sandals and a taupe bag to elevate the vibe. A snakeskin belt is right on-trend.

I have seen the Canadian tuxedo look many times over the past 40 years in western Canada and British Columbia. It may not be a thing in eastern Canada. We live in California, and my husband would wear the look even though our teenage children told him not to. Now he’s in style again.
Hi Cindylou, This is interesting. I’m in Ontario, which is not a look I grew up with. It just goes to show you how big and regional Canada is! Cheers, Deborah
