Puff sleeves are already a loud statement but accessories paired with them can take you to the level of maximum and elegant. The trick is in the balance between the dramatic volume of puff sleeves and equally as dramatic pairings of accessories that support the look, but don’t overwhelm it. From an event to a night out, here are five examples of pairing puff sleeves with statement accessories for an eye-catching, stylish look.
1. How Layered Necklaces Add Balance to Your Look
Layering necklaces on top of puff sleeve tops or dresses works especially well when you have a lower neckline. Pick chunky and delicate chains together to add some depth and dimension to your outfit. A wonderful partnership of puff sleeves and a bold choker or pendant necklace draws attention to the neckline and elongates the involved torso. A layered approach is especially great for puff-sleeved tops with a more fitted, structured appeal as it’ll help the jewelry stick out but not overtake.
2. Big Statement Earrings to Match The Drama
Of course, puff sleeves are the way to go when incorporating one style into another, but oversized earrings are the perfect backbone to maximalism’s boldness. To echo that dramatic effect of puff sleeves, choose statement earrings: chandelier drops, hoops, or geometric shapes. For a puff sleeve that is heavy and grand, choose earrings that are sleek (metallic) or monochrome, or simply follow the look. Meanwhile, if a puff sleeve looks too busy, colorful interesting earrings can be used to bring much-needed vibrancy and personality to the ensembles.
3. Depending on the choice of hip and arm width, he can have wide belts to define the waist.
With puff sleeves, the upper body becomes voluminous, being defined by the belt on the waist, it’s balanced and structured. And when the sleeves are bold, a cinched belt isn’t just a focal point, it helps break up the volume of the sleeves, keeping your figure intact. Pick leather or embellished belts in blocky colors or metallic finish to create a glamorous high fashion impression. The puff part of the sleeve looks best styled in this way with a dress, a blazer, or even a jumpsuit.
4. Bold Finishing Statement Bags
While there are no hard and fast rules for accessories, that doesn’t mean you can’t wear them by taking the approach of maximalism; statement bags are no exception to the rule when it comes to embracing puff sleeves. A structured handbag or large clutch in a fun bold color or with an intricate design is just what you need to dial up the elegance in your outfit. If you want your bags to match your outfit’s color but not your entire outfit, go symmetric and at the same time with a polished, harmonious look. Consider a bold red bag that can be lovely with neutral puff-sleeved outfits, or even a pop of color.
5. Heeled Boots for a Power Look
Puff sleeves are pretty gorgeous and heeled boots pair so perfectly that they look as if they were created for each other. Whether you’re wearing a puff-sleeved dress or a tailored look, sleek leather or suede boots will bring a modern and fashion-forward touch. If you want to make a bold statement you need to pick boots that have embellishments on them, like buckles, or have metal accents. Monochromatic boots in black or white will also do the trick as an alternative to this, and they won’t compete with the aesthetic of puff-sleeved blazers or dresses.
With puff sleeves still making a comeback, you can play maximalist with statement accessories to stay elegant. For layered necklaces, oversized earrings, to wide belts, the key is to keep your sleeves bold, and the accessories balanced — those things that make the outfit look finished. Whether you’re heading to the office, a party, or an evening out, these styling tips will have you rocking the look pulling in the suave and sophisticated with your puff-sleeved attire.
