Frills are beautiful strips of gathered or pleated fabrics joined to an outfit for an excess decorative edge.

According to Ruffle.com “In sewing and dressmaking, a ruffle, frill, or furbelow is a strip of fabric, lace or ribbon tightly gathered or pleated on one edge and applied to a garment, bedding, or other textiles as a form of trimming. A flounce is a particular type of fabric manipulation that creates a similar look but with less bulk.”

The Impact Of Shoulder Frills

In recent times, frills have somewhat contributed to the essence of the power of a woman. With the growing rate of women in power, women CEOs, and also the inspirational style adopted from the culture of superheroes there is no second-guessing why exaggerated shoulder frills are becoming a fad in modern society.

Although the ability to maintain an upright shoulder frill may be fairly inconvenient as of yet to the clients, considering the cleansing and maintenance of an outfit, they do play their role as stunning red carpet outfits and one-off garments. And maybe this inconvenience could possibly have halted the look from becoming a consistent trend.

As far as fashion and trends go in Ghana and a few looks outside, exaggerated frills have been popping up recently amongst various fashion faces, and we couldn’t help but to bring some of the stunning outfits that caught our attention.
