This spring/summer we’re all for the hottest new trend that is fluttering onto our style scene – statement sleeves! From billowy to bell shaped, from ruffled to flared these beautiful voluminous sleeves will appeal to feminine women of all ages.

Dramatic in proportion, they create a stylish, stand-out focal point, and we love how you can wear them from the boardroom all the way to the beach. Transform your work wardrobe by simply substituting your tailored white shirt for a soft blouse with statement sleeves. Or add a mini skirt and heels for a classically romantic evening out. Pair with bare shoulders and ripped denim for a chic boho statement, or opt for casually flirty with shorts and tanned summer legs.

While it’s perfect for those of us who are self-conscious about our arms, we suggest avoiding extra volume on top if you have a full bust or stomach. Most importantly, keep the focus on the sleeves by keeping the rest of your outfit simple, and go easy on accessories.

This divine trend can instantly take any outfit from simple to sensational, making you look and feel elegant and glamorous!
