Bubble t-shirts have gathered, elasticized hems that create a rounded 'bubble' silhouette at the waist or hips. Playful and voluminous, they turn the humble tee into a statement piece.
The bubble hem adds volume at the hips — great for balancing broader shoulders; straight figures gain curves instantly. Petite women should keep the bubble subtle.
Wear with slim bottoms to balance the volume on top, and let the hem hit at the hip bone. Fun for nights out with heels.
Fit matters more than size labels, which vary wildly between brands. The shoulder seam should sit at your shoulder edge, the body should skim without pulling at the bust, and the length should cover your waistband with room to move. When in doubt between sizes, consider how you'll wear it — tucked styles can run fitted, untucked styles need a bit more ease.
