Supersize Me: The Unexpected Sleeve Trend
If 2016 was the year of shoulder-focused tops, then 2017 is year of the sleeve. From flared to ruffled to deconstructed to extra-long, sleeves made their way to the front row. Expect to see ties and trimmings that not only emphasize volume and shape, but that elevate the overall top to make it an eye-catching look. Superized bell cuffs, larger than life ruffles, epically long lengths and exaggerated lace-up details are giving us all the feels for diving head first into this trend. Ahead, 15 reasons why you might be suffering from sleeve fever this season and next.
