Sleeves are big

The bigger, the better: fashion’s new focal point will amp up any look

SCULPTURAL AND BELL-SHAPED, softly draped and gathered, or split and buttoned – the sleeve is fashion’s favourite new focus of attention, as proven by the design world’s cool, young arbiters of taste: Ellery, J.W.Anderson, Jacquemus and more. It’s the thing that gives your shirt fashion fortitude, and is the element that will add a real sense of styling know-how to your look. Most importantly, as one of the season’s biggest ideas, it’s the quickest route to SS17 newness. Wear with a sense of poetic languor – and don’t order the soup.
