What's That Sleeve Called?

Badgley Mischka Collection

The newest sleeve to hit the ruwnay in recent collections is the lantern sleeve. The lantern sleeve is a full, gathered sleeve attached to a drop-shouldered garment; it can be either a long or short sleeve look. It's seen on everything from jackets to dresses.

Fit Tip: Great for camouflaging flabby upper arms. Best on narrow shoulders/slim upper body types (wide shoulders, full busts are just emphasized by this voluminous sleeve).
