Puff Sleeves For Spring & Summer

The latest fashion trend is the puff sleeve trend and you know what? I love wearing anything with puffy sleeves. If you are not familiar with this trend, they are fashion pieces with big sleeves and usually are puffy at the shoulder and go all the way down the sleeves. Some have a more subtle puffy sleeve and some are exaggerated (those are typically more statement tops). In fact, the moment I see puff sleeve shirts or puff sleeve dresses, I immediately gravitate towards them! They can easily make your outfit look so chic and put together. They are especially perfect for Spring and Summer season.

In the Spring and Summer months, there are so many cute dresses and tops with puffy sleeves. Although there are a few puff sleeve sweaters, they are more prominent during the warmer seasons. In fact, they can come in solid colors, floral prints, polka dot prints, etc.

I’m sharing several different outfits wearing the puff sleeve trend. But most of these outfits consist of me wearing the same floral puff sleeve top. Love this floral puff sleeve top and most definitely one of my favorite tops to wear during the Spring. I’m not 100% sure if it is still available, but in case it is not, below are some of my favorite floral puff sleeve tops. But if my top is sold out by the time you are reading this, the Rolla Floral Blouse and Meadows Carnation Top are the closest options to mine.

Best Bottoms To Pair With Puff Sleeves

My biggest tip when it comes to choosing bottoms with your puff sleeve shirt is to keep your bottoms very simple. Since wearing any puff sleeve piece is already a statement in itself, going simple is best. So here are my recommended bottoms to wear.

  • Midi Skirt / Pleated Skirt – This is if you want to create an ultra feminine look. If your top has prints, I suggest wearing a solid color skirt. In addition, same idea applies if your top is a solid color. So if your top is a solid color, choose a printed skirt. But if you want a good mixture of edgy and feminine, I’m obsessing over this cream colored faux leather pleated skirt. So chic!
  • Skinny Jeans / Skinny Fit Pants – These type of bottoms are great when your top has extremely big sleeves. In fact, it keeps the entire outfit look more balanced.
  • Wide-Leg Pants – As long as your top is not baggy, any puffy shirt looks incredible with wide-leg pants and it makes you look so fashion forward.
  • Denim – You can’t go wrong pairing your top with jeans. It gives it a dressy casual look.

    I feel like I’m often eaten up by a puff sleeve top because of my body shape, but you make them look SO DANG GOOD. My favorite pieces are the different dresses. So many good looks here though! You’re a puff sleeve princess!

    You wear these statement puffed sleeve pieces so well! Aside from a little statement shoulder on a jacket I have, I don’t have anything from this trend which is a shame as everyone always rocks it so well! 🙂

    Hope you are having a nice week 🙂

    I love all these different looks, it’s so hard to pick a favourite! I love those white palazzo pants and you look so cute in those overalls! I think the polka dot dress is a winner for me though. Thanks for giving me so many ideas, as always, Rach! Happy Friday!
