Bouffant skirts
Such women's clothing as a fluffy skirt is very popular these days due to its property of emphasizing a beautiful figure and visually reducing the waist. In addition, skirts of this type are loved for their versatility and good compatibility with other items of women's wardrobe.
Who are they suitable for?
A skirt, which is classified as a lush model, will be the best choice if a girl has:
- The hips are narrow and the waist, on the other hand, is wide. A voluminous skirt will widen the hip line and visually make the waist thinner, resulting in a feminine silhouette.
- Broad shoulders. With the help of a voluminous skirt, such girls will be able to transform the figure so that it resembles an hourglass.
- Medium height. On such a girl, a fluffy maxi or knee-length skirt will look perfect, and midi length is not recommended, as it will plump and visually reduce growth.
You should think carefully about buying a fluffy skirt when:
- The combination of short stature and fullness. Due to the lush models of skirts, such a girl will look fuller and shorter.
- Very tall. It is important for such girls to avoid short options for fluffy skirts.
- Narrow shoulders as well as wide hips. A fluffy skirt will only emphasize such shortcomings, so it is better to take a closer look at the "pencil" style, and if you still really want a voluminous skirt, it should be combined with a top that extends the shoulders.

A relaxed voluminous top is worn with a fluffy skirt much less often, but ensembles with delicate blouses or voluminous tops are very suitable for some girls, especially in combination with a textile or leather belt. It is a good idea to have a piece with a voluminous top and a tight waist at the bottom. Combining such a top with a fluffy skirt, you get a harmonious, feminine silhouette.
When choosing outerwear for fluffy skirts, it is only important to complement the look of the skirt, but not to contradict its splendor, and at the same time not to hide the skirt. The best option would be a short top that leaves the skirt on display, as well as clothing that repeats the style of the skirt. It can be a short leather jacket or a shorter version of a fur vest.
Accessories for the skirt should be selected taking into account the splendor of the outfit. The more voluminous the skirt is, the more miniature accessories are chosen for it.
Small bags on a chain or clutches look good with fluffy skirts. Using a belt will help accentuate the waist, while bright jewelry should be discarded.
Shoes
The selection of shoes for the image, the basis of which is a fluffy skirt, must be very careful to get a complete picture. For skirts of this type, you can wear both heeled shoes and wedge heels, as well as shoes with low travel.
If a fluffy skirt is worn with boots, then an option that fits snugly to the leg is selected. In this case, you should avoid shoes, the top of which reaches the middle of the shins, since such boots will visually shorten the legs.
