There are no strict rules as to what kind of sleeves you should wear, but if you’re already pondering the question, then you most definitely are a statement-sleeves kind-of-gal.

While we also think the type of sleeves should be dictated by your preferences, the fact is, the funkier they are, the more stylish points you’ll earn. Luckily, this trend has been proliferating for quite some time, and we’ve spotted a whole lot of sleeve-action on the runways – from Zimmermann to Valentino, amongst others. The trick here is to find the perfect piece; whether you’d rather go for flirty dresses with unique sleeves or eclectic tops, at the end of the day, the bolder, the better.

And since we’ve taken notes from designers as to how to perfect this trend, we’ve come to find that while anyone can wear statement sleeves, it actually takes a little thought to nail it. To help you out, we’ve gathered a few of the must-have pieces in the Photo Gallery below.
