Sleeves…Sleeves..Sleeves…Have you noticed the added attention the sleeve is getting lately? Whether they are frilled, flounced, slit, beribboned, or bell shaped the statement sleeve is back!  Embellished sleeves maybe trendy, but they are certainly not new, harkening back to earlier fashion eras, particularly the Cavalier period.

I’m loving the statement sleeve, especially bell shaped sleeves that flare at the wrist.  This simple shape is so elegant and can enhance an otherwise basic top like with this black turtleneck by Catherine Malandrino.  The white edging and flared sleeve add just the right touch of oomph don’t you think?

My Top Picks for the Statement Sleeve:

1. Sweater // 2. Striped Top // 3. Dress // 4. Lace Top // 5. Blue Blouse // 6. Pink Sweater // 7. Dress // 8. Jacket // 9. Light Blue Top
