If you’ve been following me on Instagram for a while, you know one trend I can’t stop sporting is the puffy sleeve. Whether it be on dresses, tops, or jackets, I am obsessed with puffy sleeves and frankly, the bigger the better.
Why I love them:
- Defines shoulders exuding confidence
- Provides balance and structure to a rather basic outfit
- Flattering on every body type
- Can be dressed up or down
- Adds drama to a look
- Updated “Dynasty” vibes
- Can be worn all year round
If you missed some of my favorite puffy sleeve moments, here are some of my favorite looks.
When styling a puffy sleeve top, I usually balance the big sleeves with straight denim or skinny jeans, a high waisted bottom especially if the top is a crop. For dresses, anything is a go from straight, to A-line, to even a fit and flare.
Check out some of the new ones I am adding to my wish list.

You have the best puffy sleeve collection! Love them all. Especially I have very narrow shoulder and they just instantly expand the should width. I actually have the same & and other story same dress as yours but in a mini version. Now you make me regret that I didn’t get the maxi dress. I love the brilliant styling here. Each outfit looks so effortless chic. Thank you for an inspiring blog post Christine.
