For the past little while, we’ve been going through a minimalist style movement. Outlandish accessories were suddenly extra, and everything was simplified, including our Instagram grids.
And though full-on maximalism isn’t quite on our radar just yet, we’re slowly becoming OK with re-incorporating statement pieces into our wardrobes, particularly, statement sleeves.
The style, which is a fave among street style stars and A-listers alike (it’s already proven to be a popular awards show season pick), has been emerging into the spotlight for the last little while, and it doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon. Not that we’re complaining, it’s nice to add a little drama to our lives wardrobes once in a while.
Check out some of our fave statement-sleeved pieces below:
1. Jonathan Simkhai x Carbon38 Fuller Top, $195.
So, maybe this isn’t the best top for doing downward dogs in, but it still makes for a pretty cool athleisure look.
2. Jacquemus Blue ‘La Chemise Épaules Nues’ Shirt, $560.
Dress shirts don’t have to be boring. This Jacquemus Blue chemise, with its slightly off-the-shoulder neckline and oversized cuff sleeves, is the cool girl version of the classic.
3. Zara Pleated Sleeve Top, $69.90.
Frilled sleeves in a faux leather finish? Yes, to all of it.
4. Lost Ink Extreme Ruffle Sleeve Shirt, $41.88.
Another interesting take on the classic chemise — perfect for pairing with a flirty skirt or a pair of cigarette trousers.
5. Jh.Zane The Lana Top, $330.
