With high temperatures comes the time when we can finally get skirts out of our closets again. In addition to the usual denim and pleated skirts, we are also wearing bubble skirts this season. The puffed-up skirts are a very special eye-catcher that is an essential part of any wardrobe this summer.

Bubble skirts - also known as balloon skirts - are the perfect blend of playfulness and elegance. Their special cut and the integrated pleats or elasticated hems give them their cool, puffy shape.

Not only do they look totally stylish, they are also super comfortable and perfect for hot summer days when you want to move easily and freely.

Our stars also love the new skirt trend. Heidi Klum (51), for example, wore a glamorous red bubble-style dress in Cannes and caused a flurry of flashbulbs on the red carpet.

Styling tips for the bubble skirt trend
Bubble skirts already have an eye-catching and striking shape thanks to their voluminous cut.

A simple T-shirt or a single-colored sweater, for example, provide the perfect balance, as influencer Linda Tol proves. The trendy bubble skirt is also an excellent off-shoulder piece.

If you want something a little more exciting, you can also wear the skirt in layers. Influencer Alyswsa Coscarelli shows how it's done by wearing her puffy mini skirt over matching black trousers. To make sure the top half of your ensemble isn't competing for attention, follow her example and throw on a casual ribbed t-shirt.
