How to Wear a Bubble Skirt

By Elizabeth Freeman , last updated January 11, 2012

The bubble skirt has become a closet staple, and it can be worn through every season and for many occasions. Because the skirt has volume, you want to be sure that you balance the rest of your outfit proportionally. Remember that the bubble skirt is versatile, and you shouldn't be afraid to wear it in a variety of ways!

For a Casual Look

Wear a bubble skirt on a weekend or when you're just lounging around by choosing a skirt in a casual fabric, such as cotton jersey. Remember the tight shirt rule and pair the skirt with fitted, tucked-in t-shirt or tank top. You can try wearing a long, loose-fitting cardigan over the t-shirt and skirt if you get chilly.

For a Night Out

Pair a black or neutral satin bubble skirt with a close-fitting sleeveless shirt for a night out. Tuck the shirt in so your figure shows, and you don't appear to be drowning in fabric. If it's a cooler night, pair the skirt with tall boots and on a warmer night, try strappy sandals. Lengthen your legs by wearing a pair of sleek stiletto heels. For a more delicate look, pair your bubble skirt with cute ballet flats and a floral top.

Take the bubble skirt into winter by wearing a 3/4 sleeved turtleneck or fitted sweater with it. Tuck your sweater or shirt into the waistband of the skirt and wrap a wide belt around your waist. The belt will nip in your waist and add shape to your outfit.

If you're worried that your bubble skirt is too short, cover up your legs with a pair of thick, opaque tights. Tall boots will also make the skirt look less revealing while drawing attention to your legs. Make the look even more fun by wearing a pair of colored or patterned tights.

Accessories

Accessorize the bubble skirt with a long or chunky necklace. If you're wearing a top with a high neckline, such as a turtleneck, choose a necklace with large gemstones or one that has a chunky look to draw attention to your neck and chest. A high-cut top and chunky necklace is a great option if you're small-chested. If you have a larger bust, skip the necklace and accessorize with a pair of dangling earrings or a few bangles.
