    DETAILS

    The bestselling Alma shape is back - crisp cotton and a seriously good bubble silhouette.

    The Alma Bubble Skirt by POL brings back one of the brand's bestselling silhouettes for Spring, this time in fresh new-season colourways. Made from crisp, paper-finish cotton, it's a skirt with plenty of shape and personality, but the pull-on design keeps it wonderfully easy to wear. The fabric has enough structure to hold the distinctive bubble shape and sit away from the body rather than falling flat.

    The three-panelled construction at both the front and back is what creates that rounded bubble silhouette, giving the skirt its sculptural shape and beautiful volume. A wide elasticated waistband keeps things comfortable and makes Alma an easy pull-on style, while the rounded patch pockets at the hips add a practical detail without interrupting the clean shape.

    This is such a versatile skirt because the volume does all the styling work for you. Tuck in a simple tee, pair it with the matching Alma Top, or soften the shape with the Dahlia or Rye Knitwear. Finish with sneakers, loafers or sandals depending on the season and the look you're after.

    HOW TO STYLE

    With the matching Alma Top: Pair with the Alma Top for a coordinated POL look. Tuck the top in to highlight the elasticated waist and let the bubble shape remain the feature.

    With knitwear: The Dahlia or Rye Knitwear works beautifully with the fuller skirt. A shorter or partially tucked knit helps balance the volume.

    With a simple tee: Keep it casual with a fitted or relaxed tee tucked into the waist and finish with sneakers or flats.

    With a blouse: Add a crisp shirt or feminine blouse for a more polished look. A neat tuck helps define the waist against the fuller shape.

    With sandals: For Spring and Summer, pair with simple sandals and let the structured cotton silhouette do the talking.

    CARE

    Follow the garment care label for best results. Wash and care for the 100% cotton fabric according to the manufacturer's recommended instructions to help maintain its crisp finish, colour and structured bubble shape.
