This autumn, fashionistas are embracing iconic pieces from the ’80s. Following the rise of high-waisted jeans, oversized earrings, and round sunglasses, another cult favorite from this vibrant era is making a stunning comeback: the bubble skirt.
First popularized in 1987 by the legendary Lady Diana at Cannes, this iconic fashion piece is now an essential item in every stylish wardrobe. Let’s take a closer look at one of the boldest trends in the fashion world.
The 1980s Woman
Before being embraced by Gen Z, the bubble skirt, or jupe boule, first appeared in the 1950s, emerging from the ateliers of Givenchy and Dior. It quickly gained immense popularity and captivated the eclectic spirit of the ’80s. On the iconic dance floor of the Palace, the trendy Parisian club of the time, the bubble skirt reigned supreme. Those who adopted it loved its non-conformist and, above all, innovative style.
As the skirt made its way back into fashion, it became a favorite among the biggest celebrities, including Celine Dion, who wore it in 1988 when she won Eurovision. Thus, the bubble skirt was everywhere. Decades later, it has made a triumphant return, now with a more modern and pop-inspired twist. Zendaya, the star of Euphoria, opted for a bubble version in a Louis Vuitton dress, reaffirming the much-anticipated return of this cult trend.
How to Wear the Bubble Skirt This Autumn
This season, boldness is key. Gone are the days of dull outfits that bore us to tears. Now, we’re opting for casual, colorful, and timely looks. Whether short or long, the bubble skirt meets all your fashion needs. So, why should you adopt it? This effortlessly stylish piece is quick to throw on, especially if you’re running late for work.
To perfectly style this iconic piece from your adolescence, here’s our guide: for a glamorous look suited to 2024, pair your bubble skirt with a bomber jacket and loafers, giving you a fabulous silhouette. You can also embrace a bohemian vibe with a beautifully voluminous blouse and a pair of ballet flats that elongate your figure.
If you’re aiming for a more rock-inspired look, a plaid top and a pair of riding boots will perfectly complement your bubble skirt. Finally, for a long bubble skirt, we recommend styling it with an oversized cardigan and blazer to bring elegance and sophistication to your outfit—without going overboard!
