A balloon skirt is something that each of us definitely needs. The invention, the right word, is far from new – it was already seen in the fall at Fashion Week in New York, Milan and the list could go on. And more precisely, the novelty is not even new – the balloon silhouette was popular already in the 1950s. With the light hand of Cristobal Balenciaga, it can be said that the “tulip skirt” or “bubble skirt” flew into the business class into the world of fashion and landed directly on the modern streets.
A fitted jacket and over-the-knee leather boots go great with this spring “bouquet-floral” look. Textures and materials of different nature look very harmonious! And by the way, a fitted midi skirt of this style, trust me, fits perfectly on any figure.
A popular and proven combination of classic and casual. We put on a shirt or a long t-shirt under the leather jacket and immediately visualize warm weather and a long walk. If you suddenly wander into a casting in some “Rock Thumbelina”, consider that the main role is yours.
Yes, that happens too! Admittedly, this option should be handled with care. Keep in mind that a sweatshirt can add extra volume to an already full skirt, and if you are worried about visually adding extra pounds, it is best not to try this combination. Low height will also be an argument against it: “grounding” the silhouette will be as easy as peeling pears. Alternatively, replace the sweatshirt with a fitted golf or straight, loose sweater. You can tuck it to one side or just add a belt to “create” a waist.
In general, the trend with balloon skirts, as they say, works. We advise you to take a closer look – the “flower” theme will definitely not fade in the coming season!
