Statement Sleeves: How To Style
Statement Sleeve Street Style

*ring ring* The '70s are calling, but this time they don't want anything back. A major trend from the '70s is coming back but this time more modern and fresher than ever: the statement sleeve trend, more commonly known as the bell sleeve. This trend can be seen in different forms, and wow do I want to get my hands on all of them. The statement sleeve trend includes bell sleeves, extended sleeves, ruffle sleeves, split sleeves, graphic sleeves, embroidered sleeves and other different styles.

Not only are statement sleeved shirts and dresses easy to mix and match as an addition to your wardrobe, but they also give your outfit a fun, fresh 2017 look! Here are a few ways you can style some statement sleeve trends. Like what you see? Click the picture to shop.

Bell Sleeve

To create a classic look with your bell sleeved top, wear it with a nice pair of denim and shoes of your choice! Your kicks can be anything from heels to booties to sneakers.

Go all out with the '70s trend by pairing your bell sleeved top with bell bottoms.

To rock the bell sleeve trend during warmer months, wear your bell sleeved rompers and dresses with shoes that match the weather. Add tights for extra warmth if needed!

Extended Sleeve

Give your extended sleeved look a little edge by wearing it with a leather skirt and boots.

Another great thing about this trend is that you can dress it up or dress it down. For a more casual look, pair your extended sleeved top with black jeans and combat boots.

I love the athleisure look applied to an outfit with an extended sleeved top, not to mention how comfy it can be!

Ruffle Sleeve

If you need a reason to dress up your blouse, wear it with a pair of trousers and a comfortable pair of heels.

Night out on the town after work? Swap the trousers with your favorite pair of denim!

This ruffle sleeved sweater looks great tucked into a skirt paired with over the knee boots!

Layering technique + statement sleeve top = a look! If you want to spice up your outfit a bit, add a dress over your statement sleeved top. You can also wear it under a leather jacket or a jean jacket.

There are so many fun ways to mix and match this trend. The versatility of being able to dress the look up or down makes it an awesome trend to add to your closet.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
