Slay in these larger-than-life sleeves.
Most trends flicker for a season or two before fading into the archives—even those featured in hits like Emily in Paris. However, the puff sleeve is the rare exception whose shelf life continues to expand as brands breathe fresh life into this now-classic silhouette. Driven by cottagecore and Bridgerton influences, the puff sleeve has become the season’s ultimate power move. Ready to join the movement? Here is your guide to wearing the trend of the year.
Puff Sleeves Dress
Calling all sweet-style lovers! The puff-sleeve dress is the ultimate “princess” must-have. Perfect for adding dimension to smaller frames, this silhouette adds just the right amount of volume to make you feel elegant and totally iconic.
Puff Sleeves Blouse
A puff-sleeve blouse is a styling dream. It adds beautiful volume up top, creating a balanced, feminine shape. Tuck it into high-waisted shorts or jeans to define your waist and let the sleeves take center stage for a look that’s both sweet and sophisticated.
How to Fit it: Balance Is Key
When it comes to these larger-than-life sleeves, it’s only natural that they’ll steal the spotlight. To avoid accidentally channeling “pirate vibes,” even out your shape by adding an element that draws in the waist. This keeps the focus on the drama of the sleeves while maintaining your silhouette.
Puff sleeves are all about shoulder drama. Make sure the structure has some extra “oomph” with texture or stiff fabrics like poplin. Even though your sleeves may look out of this world, you can still keep your look grounded and controlled with sleek accessories.
Let your stylish imagination run wild! Remember, you can rock puff sleeves wherever you go, however you wear them. Make a statement and slay.
