Fashion: Yes YOU can...

work the big sleeve in your everyday outfits, says Fashion Director Shelly Vella  

Injecting a little volume into your wardrobe is the easiest way to update it this season. Whether you prefer a lantern or a bishop’s sleeve, just remember it’s all about working the proportions to your body shape and choosing wisely. A gently flared sleeve that balloons out at the wrist is a subtle way to court the trend. Alternatively, a statement sleeve that puffs out from the shoulder is a dramatic choice and perfect for eveningwear.

 

1.A voluminous silhouette works brilliantly with fluid fabrics
2. Dress up your knit: sleek skirts or classic wide-leg trousers would also look good with a statement-sleeved jumper or cardigan
3. It’s all about proportions: a fuller skirt balances out a bigger sleeve
