Angelina Jolie Wearing Kimono Sleeve- Which Sleeve do You Like Best?

The first sleeve I am going to talk about is called the “Lantern sleeve”, (probably the most trendy sleeve now) full, gathered sleeve attached to a drop-shouldered garment; it can be either a long or short sleeve look. Here, J-Lo, Kelly Ripa, and Carmen Electra are all wearing the “Lantern Sleeve” dress. I think its good to wear Lantern sleeve because it covers up your flabby looking arms. It looks especially good on people who has wide arms, which is a perfect sleeve for me! Would you wear these lantern sleeves?

The next sleeve is call the “Kimono Sleeve”, the word “Kimono” comes from the Japanese word which means a traditional Japanese dress. However, Kimono has been used in fashion especially when we are trying to define a certain type of sleeve. Here, Angelina Jolie is wearing a Kimono attire, a black V-neckline top with sheer kimono sleeves. The kimono sleeve adds loads of volume on top, so it’s best for smaller busted women. What do you think of Jolie’s sleeve? Would you wear them?

I like the puffed sleeve, but just not for me.  A bit of a puffed sleeve can work for most body types, but may look too precious for very petite women who try to avoid an overly girly look. The picture below of an Japanese model showing off in her puff sleeve. Looks good on her? I don’t like that big ribbon in front of her chest.. would you wear this type of sleeve?

Balloon sleeve is shaped full over the upper arm and narrowed from the elbow to wrist. Fuller at the top. lloon sleeves are a perfect way to add softness to a small upper body and draw the eye away from a thick waist or any lower body problem areas. Would you wear this kind of sleeve?

Finally, this Bell sleeve is narrow at the armhole and wide uncuffed at the wrist as seen in choir gowns. This is probably one of the easiest of the dramatic sleeves to wear. And looks flattering on all body types!
