bouffant + noun

用法筆記

Bouffant is most often placed before a noun (attributive position): 'bouffant hair', 'bouffant sleeves'. It is rarely used after a linking verb (e.g. 'Her hair was bouffant') except in fashion commentary.

常見錯誤

❌She styled her hair in a bouffant updo.
✅She styled her hair in a bouffant style.
💡'bouffant' already describes a rounded, lifted shape; 'updo' adds no new information.
❌The dress had bouffant puffy sleeves.
✅The dress had bouffant sleeves.
💡'bouffant' already means puffed out; 'puffy' is redundant.
