Style on Sunday: Puffy sleeves are the hottest items for spring-summer '19

Puffy sleeves aren’t going anywhere for spring summer ‘19 - the volumous 80s favourite is bigger and bolder this season.

The romantic sleeves, often paited with a square or sweetheart neckline, were a huge hit on the SS19 runways and were seen everywhere from Brock collection to Rodarte, Saint Laurent to Mara Hoffman and Preen by Thornton Bregazzi.

Kate Spade offered an understated puffy sleeve at NYFW, while Marc Jacobs brought down the house with his version of the pretty trend.

The princess-inspired look has again been a huge hit on the awards season red carpets.

Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke wore a Rosie Assoulin Fall 2019 red cold-shoulder puff sleeve dress to the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

She’s teamed the gorgeous dress with Christian Louboutin heels.

Meanwhile, Lily Collins looked nothing short of sensational last January when as she walked the red carpet The Art of Elysium Heaven Gala in Los Angeles.

Kendall Jenner, Margot Robbie and Emily Ratajkowski have also been showing us how to wear the 2019 neck/sleeve combo.

The 29-year-old actress donned an Elie Saab SS19 flowing, semi-sheer teal dress with a detailed floral print and puffed sleeves for the glitzy occasion.

Style on Sunday: Bright Debenhams ideas will add a spring to your step this season 

There’s plenty of puff sleeve options on the high street at the moment, if you’re a minimalist who prefers a subtle statement then check out & Other Stories’ handkerchief midi dress, €89.

Tophop’s Bardot puff sleeve dress by Glamorous (€50) is slightly more daring while the floral puff dress by Alexa Chung is not for wallflowers and coming in at €758 you would really want to love the look.
