17 Jun How to Wear the Puffy Sleeve Trend Sustainably
The 80’s are back! And one of the signature styles of the decade has been everywhere this summer. What’s the trend? It’s the Puff sleeve shirt. This year it’s been updated to have a modern, sleeker look. It’s more summery but still calls back to style icons like Princess Diana. My best sustainable recommendation if you are loving this look is to go and dig through a vintage bin, but if you don’t have the time or are overwhelmed by that you’re in luck. Sustainable brands have put out several and options that have made me a big sleeve believer.
