The expert explains how to create looks with the balloon trend and explains the difference between this and the bouffant style
Do you remember that between 2005 and 2010 many women wore dresses and skirts with structured and gathered volumes? This is the famous balloon style. This trend is making a comeback, after all, last season’s fashion catwalks were full of this voluminous item!
However, the ball seems to have come back somewhat modernized. It currently appears on blouses and even trousers, no longer just on dresses and skirts.
Since it ends up giving more volume to some parts of the body, many believe that the balloon does not look good on certain body shapes. However, according to image and style consultant Marina Gazolla, this is not the case and people with different body types can find the perfect look with the trend! To do this you just need to know how to use it to your advantage by making a few small adjustments.
“There are strategies to exploit some fashion trends in a more harmonious and balanced way for every body shape. For example, bubble dresses or skirts can add volume to the lower part of the body, which may not be attractive for those with a physique pear. On the other hand, people with an hourglass figure can invest in blouses with this effect to highlight the waist. For shorter women, it is ideal to opt for pieces that provide a balance between volume and length, with the aim is to lengthen your image”, explains the specialist.
In other words, just use the style in the right pieces and the look will be incredible!
How to join?
There are countless ways to join Ballooné, depending on your personal taste and style. But one problem many people have when wearing these pieces for the first time is thinking that the look ends up being too exaggerated.
Marina therefore has incredible advice for embracing the trend with class and elegance, without weighing down your hand in composing the look, and guarantees that the secret is in proportion.
“To maintain balance and visual harmony, it is important to choose only one balloon piece in the composition. From there, create counterpoints with others that fit more to the body. For example, pair a balloon skirt with a more fitted blouse “, reveals the expert.
Another strategy is to pay attention to the fabric that makes up the garment. “Lightweight, flowing fabrics can create more elegant and less bulky looks. Heavier or stiffer versions give the garment even more volume,” guarantees the fashion and style consultant.

But if the balloon trend is basically about chunky pieces, wouldn’t that be the same thing as the puffy style? Marina explains that although this is a common confusion in fashion, there are differences.
“Balloon refers to clothing that has a rounded volume and is bulky, with the bottom of the seam facing inward, creating a balloon-like image. Ballooning focuses on specific parts of the clothing, such as the sleeves or shoulders and has a puffy and wrinkled effect”, he concludes.
