Statement sleeves have been a major trend for 2019, and this trend show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. A statement sleeve can be found on silhouettes of all kinds and can be classified as a blouse or dress with added embellishments on the sleeves—everything from voluminous arms to ruffles to billowy flared fabric at the wrists. Designers are adding statement sleeves to styles and fabrics of all kinds, and this detail adds instant drama to your look.
A statement sleeve draws your eye and becomes the immediate area of interest for your outfit. The rest of your look can be super streamlined with clean lines and minimal volume to let your sleeves do all the talking. If you choose a top with sleeve interest, you can keep the rest of your outfit simple by pairing it with a clean (non-ripped) pair of jeans and sleek shoes. It’s nice to balance out a voluminous top with something more tailored on the bottom.
