Puff sleeves, bubble hems and full skirts

A puffy dress is about shape. Some pieces put the volume in the sleeves, like the Maia jacquard midi and the Thy fit-and-flare taffeta mini. Others build it into the skirt: the Clare tent mini in foam and the Dahlia bubble chiffon mini. Taffeta and jacquard hold the shape, while velvet styles such as Bryan and Moran give a softer version.

Designers include Raffiné, Tamitu, Eegen Studio, LINH PHUNG and Decos.

How to wear a puffy dress

Balance the volume with clean accessories: a slim heel or a pointed flat, small earrings and a structured bag. Puff-sleeve minis suit birthdays and holidays. An A-line taffeta midi is a confident choice for a wedding or an anniversary dinner. If the dress is strapless or off-shoulder, keep hair up to show the neckline.

Are puffy dresses only for parties?

No. A puff-sleeve jacquard mini works for brunch and daytime events, and a puff-sleeve knee-length dress such as Bryan pairs well with a plain coat.
