This year, fashion has been all about achieving maximum effect and standing out from the crowd. However, this didn’t mean the onset of outrageous trends and odd colour palettes – it meant being bold when making the most simple fashion-forward choices. And with this came one of the biggest, long-standing trends of the year: The Statement Sleeve.

Statement sleeves are that one go-to fashion trick that can help you take a simple look to new heights.

They come in all shapes and sizes. Bell, angel, cap, bishop, bubble – the list goes on and on. From voluminous ruffled rows to no sleeves at all, there is a style for every shape and size out there! They’ve even been a massive hit on the 2016/2017 runways, with the likes of Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta and H&M incorporating the trend into their various collections.

If you’ve been sleeping on this trend then it’s time to wake up and dress up! We’re celebrating the trend and checking out our favourite celebrities are wearing their statement sleeves.
