Bubble Hems Are Back, And We’re (Surprisingly) Ok With It…
Call me a non-believer, but the bubble hem revival wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card – especially as someone who grew up wearing it in the early noughties (and subsequently swore off the divisive trend forever). And, well, here I am falling on my own sword because, not only are voluminous hems back in style, I’m also absolutely on board with it.
Whether you’re planning a European summer holiday, or are simply looking to add a fresh twist to your everyday wardrobe, larger-than-life balloon skirts might be just the ticket.
In addition to injecting a generous dose of fun into your outfit, the eye-catching piece also delivers on comfort, with the loose billowing skirts proving a smart choice when the mercury starts to rise.

As for when and how to style them in 2024, we’re loving the longer midi and maxi designs for daytime chic – paired with tube tops and layered, unbuttoned shirts. For evenings, try switching it up with the mini iterations worn either on their own or, for the skirts, with a fitted top, or a bra top teamed with a blazer.
