This year, the fashion industry has been all about statement pieces. Particularly, the statements hasn’t been focused on eye-catching accessories or bold, patterned separates as usual. Instead, one of the key statements has been a focus on voluminous, chic, statement sleeves. When it comes to sleeves, nothing adds more drama than the bell design. Bell sleeves give a feminine, fabulous and fierce look all in one; it makes for an unforgettable ensemble.
A 70s fashion trend that made a huge comeback, this sleeve style usually flares from the elbow down to the wrists, emulating the shape of a bell, adding a dramatic flair to any look. But there are no rules set in stone so you can design your bell to flare out at any point on your arm. The length, volume and design of your bell sleeves are simply dependent on just how much drama you’re willing to create. And the more drama, the better!
Today’s bell sleeve designs are versatile and fun. You can go for a single or double layered look; a pleated or gathered design or even an asymmetrical look. You can go as voluminous as you can imagine!
