Spring/Summer 2025 Trend Talk: Are Bubble Hems & Drop Waists Back?!

Let’s talk hemlines — because this season, they’re anything but basic.

Bubble hems and drop waists are making a serious comeback for Spring/Summer 2025, and fashion lovers everywhere are divided in the best way possible. Some say nostalgic, some say risky, but everyone agrees: these silhouettes are stealing the spotlight.

 Our Take:

Bubble Hems — Yes, they’re dramatic. Yes, they scream early 2000s. But designers this season are softening the look with airy cottons, structured silks, and neutral palettes. Think less Sweet 16 and more European picnic chic. We’re loving the mini bubble skirts paired with crisp tanks or oversized button-downs for a fun and flirty daytime look.

Drop Waists — This one’s for the cool girls. Dropped waistlines elongate the torso and offer an effortless, laid-back vibe. You’ll see them on gauzy maxi dresses, sporty cotton separates, and even swim cover-ups. It’s giving off-duty ballerina meets 90s It girl, and we’re into it.

 Styling Tips:

• Pair bubble hems with sleek sandals or minimal sneakers to keep the look modern.

• Balance a drop-waist dress with a cropped jacket or cardigan for shape.

• Keep accessories clean and tonal — let the silhouette do the talking.

 Who's It For?

These trends are perfect for anyone craving playfulness with polish. If you love mixing nostalgic shapes with fresh, wearable vibes — this season is for you.
