Trend Alert: Statement Making Sleeves

From big and bold to subtle details, a piece with statement sleeves is a fun way to break up the monotony of the summer uniform of tees and jeans and add a bit of drama to your look. In my styling business, I call these pieces ‘table toppers’. Whether you opt for puff sleeves, balloon sleeves, bell sleeves, bows or ruffles, you don’t need to break the bank when shopping for your tops. A little bit of drama goes a long way.

Like other statement pieces, sleeves tend to look best when paired with basic items, so wear yours with a simple pair of blue jeans or black pants.

Organza Bubble Sleeve Knit Top

This knit top with dramatic bubble sleeves will refresh the notion of a wardrobe staple! Touchably soft, this versatile piece is an easy way to upgrade your outfit rotation. It also comes in grey, white and pink and retails for only $57. At this price, you might want it in a few colors. This knit will also transition well from season to season.

Jeans

My new favorite jeans are the Agolde 90’s Loose Fit. The faded wash and relaxed fit make you feel like a cool girl and the mid-rise is super flattering. I love this straight cut dressed up with heels or dressed down with flats or sneakers.

Sandals

My Alexandre Birman Clarita Bow Sandals are a bit of a splurge, but I had been obsessing over these for a long time! These definitely make a statement as well and look great dressed down with your ripped jeans or paired with your fussier attire.
