This style of puffy sleeves is back as a huge 2021 trend, continuing with the same strength it gained in 2018. This trend is back and is here to stay.
Despite its size, puffed sleeves manage to be very elegant and bring a feminine touch to any outfit. In addition, they are a great bet when bringing details to the look, be it more simple or quite formal.
With this in mind, here are some styles of puffy sleeves and suggestions on how to use this trend perfectly.
Shoulder Volume
This is the best known shape of the puffy sleeve. The volume is all concentrated on the top whether with short or long sleeves. This model visually enhances the shape at the top of the look.
Oversized
These models are the most extravagant and attention-grabbing. In this case, the tip is to combine them with tighter and more discreet pieces, leaving the sleeves as the main focus of the look.
One shoulder
The one-shoulder piece only enhances the shoulders and looks great in a tight fit, whether as a sweater or bodysuit. This is one of the edgiest models, however it is ideal for those who want to join this trend without exaggerating on the volume.
Forearm volume
The volume on the forearm avoids the focus on the shoulder region and is ideal for those who don’t want their arms to be the highlight.
How to wear puffed sleeves:
Keep the balance
It is important to pay attention to the volume of the chosen piece in relation to the rest of the look and the proportion of your body. Puffed sleeves are a great choice for those with a pear or hourglass-shaped body as it highlights the top part of the body.
Pay attention to the accessories
Depending on the chosen piece, try not to exaggerate on the accessories such as necklaces, earrings and glasses, as it creates too much information for the look.
Bet on combinations
Betting on combinations of different fabrics, layers and striking colors, is always a good option to create a look and feel in style.
