How to Wear Statement Sleeves for SUMMER 2019
TREND / 2019-08-07
Statement sleeves have been a major trend this year, and they are the perfect way to add a bit of drama to an otherwise simple outfit. Statement sleeves can be very feminine, but they can also be very adrogynous or even edgy. There are so many different ways to wear them, depending on your personal style and what items you decide to pair them with. There are also many different types of statement sleeves, like puff sleeves, ruffled sleeves, and off shoulder sleeves, to name a few. In this article, we’ll cover different ways to style this beautiful and dramatic trend.

Puff Sleeves
Puff sleeves are making a major statement this year, and they are a great transition piece from winter to spring. They have a slightly Victorian vibe, which provides many easy styling options. If you are just getting into this trend, start with a white puff sleeve blouse. There are so many different ways to style this item – you can go edgy with a pair of black jeans and boots, or you can go feminine by tucking it into a tight floral skirt. If you want to opt for a more dramatic puff sleeved shirt with bright colors or patterns, keep the rest of the outfit simple to avoid looking overdone. The most flattering way to wear this trend is to keep the bottom half of your outfit very form-fitting, otherwise you could look like the puffs are swallowing you up.

Off-Shoulder Sleeves
Off-shoulder sleeves is a very flirty trend that is perfect to wear on a date night, girl’s night out, or other social occasion. It’s a great way to show a bit of skin without being too revealing. There are so many different off-shoulder sleeve designs – many just have big bell sleeves, others have large puffs, some have cutouts, the list goes on and on. Since this is already a very sexy trend, you can really go all out and take a fashion risk here – don’t be afraid to rock bright patterns or a unique cut that you wouldn’t normally wear. The best way to wear off-shoulder sleeves is with a simple bottom, like your favorite pair of jeans, leather pants, or shorts, depending on the occasion. A nice pair of dangly earrings looks great with an off-shoulder top as well, because it really accentuates your collarbones. When choosing an off-shoulder top, it’s important to find one that fits, because otherwise you might find yourself adjusting it all day to get it to stay up.

Ruffled Sleeves
Ruffled sleeves are another fun trend to rock this spring. They are very feminine and have a liveliness to them, because they move when you walk or use your hands. Like a puff sleeve, a ruffled sleeve should always be paired with form-fitting pieces like jeans, tight-fitting trousers, or a pencil skirt, because otherwise the outfit can swallow you up. Ruffled sleeves are very versatile as well – they are sexy enough for a night out, but they could also work for a casual day outfit with jeans and sneakers. Blouses with smaller ruffles can also work for an office outfit, depending on the type of environment you work in. Since ruffled sleeves draw attention to your arms and hands, this is the perfect excuse to wear your favorite bracelets and rings as well.
