How to Match the Top Which with Big and Puffy Sleeves

Since Rodarte and Marc Jacobs debuted their sexualized sleeves at their spring/summer 2019 shows, the latest fashion trend for spring/summer 2020 has been the over-the-top, designer sleeve upgrades by Rejina Pyo, Alessandra Rich, Alexandra Rich and Richard Quinn. To inspire a sense of romance and power, dress with plaid, crepe and courage.

What do Dior's giant sunglasses, Balenciaga's oversized coat and exaggerated bouffant sleeves have in common? These are all part of the selling points of the spring/summer 2019 collection, which hopes to succeed in going viral and setting trends. Since then, designers, editors and influencers have been on a roll. If anything, they were bolder in their spring/summer 2020 collection, especially with the sleeves.

At recent shows, labels Marc Jacobs, philosophy ophydi Lorenzo Serafini and Cecilie Bahnsen all showed the most dreamy and romantic features of renaissance-style sleeves (at the spring/summer 2020 collections in New York, milan and Copenhagen, respectively).Meanwhile, in London, Richard Quinn made a dramatic demonstration of radical sleeves with ultra-smooth latex and wallpaper prints. GiambattistaValli and H&M are launching their highly anticipated clothing line together in November, and a sneak peek at the pictures already shows the party dress's wide silk frilly shape and giant flared tulle sleeves -- just in time for Christmas.
