With its rounded shape and youthful style, the ball skirt made a resounding return to the trend. Available in a short or long version, this piece has come a long way. Initially trendy in the 80s, she attempted a comeback a little before 2010, but her bouffant style was clearly not unanimous. Deemed too old-fashioned or too basic, the ball skirt had to wait a little longer.
More precisely, it is the sportswear style that has brought it back into fashion this year. Today, it’s cooler, more trendy, and here’s how to wear it to enjoy its style.
Short or long ball skirt: which one to choose?
Good news: choosing is not an obligation. The ball skirt is as trendy in a mini version as in a maxi version. It all depends on the silhouette you want to obtain. The short version is obviously easier to accept, because it is more familiar. But the long one has many advantages, notably that of being modern and offering a slightly alternative style, all in volume. It all depends of course on how you wear it.
What to wear the ball skirt with to give it style?
Because it is very feminine thanks to its curved lines, the ball skirt is never better worn than with clothes that contrast with its delicacy. Moreover, this is why sports brands like Adidas and Puma have seized this cut: the sportswear and girly alliance always works wonderfully.
The ball skirt in sports mode:
To highlight the ball skirt and give it style, combine it with:
- A sports jersey
- A sportswear windbreaker
- Un pull oversize
- An XXL polo
These pieces are sufficiently different in style, color and volume to bring depth to the look. Obviously, contrast is not the only option. We can also play the dancer card to the fullest with a cardigan boléro or a cache-cœur. This is another facet of sports style, highlighted in particular by sneakerinas, these hybrid shoes that are half sneakers, half ballerinas.
The ball skirt in casual mode:
Malgré son style très marqué, the ball skirt also gains in allure when compared to more sober pieces. This is how you easily integrate it into your everyday wardrobe. The right pieces that match:
- A graphic top
- And leather jacket
- A maxi men’s shirt
- A bandeau top
These combinations work just as well with a short ball skirt as with a long one.
The ball skirt in chic fashion:
Because it can also be perceived as a sophisticated garment, especially in its satin version, the ball skirt can easily fit into an evening wardrobe. Worn with an hourglass blazer, a sleeveless vest or a mesh top, it goes into couture fashion.
We prefer to reserve it for the evening in these cases, because its puffy shape can quickly become spectacular.
