A cheeky, daring, and even a little bit nostalgic, the bubble skirt is formally returning to the fashion stage, come Summer 2025. Designers are deconstructing this voluminous silhouette of the 1950s and 1980s and are bringing it into the contemporary wardrobe (as Vogue reminds us), and as it turns out, sometimes, more is more.
Whether it is the catwalks of Paris or on the streets of Toronto, fashion insiders are teaming bubble skirts with anything and everything as diverse as sharp shirts and crop tops. The result? A statement that can be made in an instant, and instantly make the most mundane outfit a discussion point.
The Bubble Skirt: Why It Works Now
Big is back in fashion again, but this time in a new, comfortable way. The hem of the bubble skirt is rounded, so it adds structure without rigidity to your appearance, giving it form and mobility. It should be conceived as an alternative to slip skirts or to minis: it is more chic, it makes you look flirty and fl态ter, and it is sure to help you feel cheerier.
Want to take ownership? Following is how to style this frivolous piece into any summer plan.
The following are 5 ways to style a bubble skirt.
1. Bubble Mini and Fitted tank
Counteract the bulk of the skirt with a tight-fitting ribbed tank or baby tee. It is an ideal combination of rooftop brunches in London or weekend trips in LA.
2. Bubble Skirts + large-sized button-downs
Take a button-down in crisp white and tuck it into a pastel bubble skirt to get a cool high-low combination. Add fancy loafers or ballet flats – the style that reminds a Parisian street cafe.
3. Bubble Skirt Graphic Tee
Make it a new level with a classic vintage-looking graphic tee half tucked inside a plain neutral bubble skirt. Just wear bulky sandals or sneakers to run errands in Berlin or coffee date in New York.
4. Bubble Skirt / Blazer
Dress it up: wear a structured bubble skirt with a belted blazer as well as strappy heels. It works best at an art/design-related event or as cocktails within Toronto’s downtown core.
5. Bubble Skirt Knit Sweater
On chilly nights, just add a cropped knit that is lightweight. This close combination will suit you well when you have to walk at the seaside or have a casual dinner on a patio.
Final Thoughts
A simple look becomes a perfect, playful, standout moment with a bubble skirt, and this is a clear example that the most extreme silhouettes in fashion are often the funnest ones.
