You could take one look at a bell sleeve and be whisked back to the seventies. But that’s history and we’re more interested in how you’ll style the trend now. White’s a favourite for this style, to be worn as a crop with shorts, a tunic over skinnies or a blouse with a skirt. Finish a skater dress with ankle boots or let the wide sleeves provide a natural balance for rompers.
Brighten up your outfit with a bold print in florals or paisley; alternatively add emphasis with lace-up sides or front. Choose evening wear with cut-out shoulders and chunky jewellery to highlight the flared sleeves. Graduate to a thin knit for autumn or play the medieval maiden in a maxi – we can’t wait to see your ideas for bell sleeves trending on the street!
