The top trend for your top half: Statement sleeves are IN

by

The cold shoulder trend took over as one of 2016's best loved trends, but the weather isn't quite right at the moment to bare our pasty shoulders.

While we're waiting for summer to roll back around, and exposed décolletage with it, we're loving the statement sleeve, this springs must-try trend.

Boohoo, € 23.00 

From ruffles to drawstrings to mesh, there's more than one way to add some interest on your sleeves.

This bell sleeved jumper from Boohoo is ideal for casual weekends or brunching, just mind you don't trail your sleeves in the soup. 

 H&M, €44.99

Mixing print and a statement ruffle sleeve definitely isn't for the faint of heart.

Create a high-fashion look by teaming this shirt with some patent leather pants, or tone it down with some ripped skinny jeans and a black duster coat. 

 Zara, €49.95

This look isn't the exclusive domain of day wear, adding a luxe metallic finish to fabric makes the statement sleeve perfect for a big night out. 

 Boohoo, €20.00 

Even the classic bomber jacket is ready to move into the spring season with ruched detailing on the sleeves. 

Zara,  €39.95

As usual, Zara is leading the way with this high street trend.

This candy-striped blouse has an extremely chic bow tie on the arms, so if a ruffle isn't your thing, this is for you. 

 ASOS, €40.00

Incorporating heavy fabrics like denim can look amazing, especially when they have a frayed hem from raw cutting.

This affordable ASOS tunic wouldn't look out of place on an Olsen twin and if we needed another reason to buy, that would be it. 

Boohoo, €20.00

Not exclusive to tops, dresses are getting a silhouette overhaul this season. 

Simple shifts are getting a high-fashion makeover with excess fabric on the sleeves. We love the pastel pink shade of this Boohoo number. 

Pretty Little Thing, €35.00

How perfect is this little red dress for a Valentine's night out with the girls?

 ASOS,€42.67

Velvet? Check. Keyhole neckline? Check. Ruffle sleeve? Check.

This blue ASOS swing dress is literally ticking all the boxes when it comes to this seasons trends. 

Boohoo, €23.00

Tudor-style tops with Victorian and shirt collars are being amped up for the new season with dramatic cascades of ruffles adorning the sleeves.

Whether you go hard or go home on this trend, there's no denying that statement sleeves are taking over the high street.
