19 Gorgeous Balloon Sleeves

Balloon and puff sleeves are going nowhere for AW20 – these are the beauties we have eyes on right now.

The balloon sleeve has been the story of 2020, in all its light weight, unstructured diaphanous and voluminous romantic glory. Yet far from being a one summer wonder, designers have simply updated the look for Autumn/Winter in darker colours and thicker fabrics. We’re big fans of an XXL statement sleeve and, to prove it, we’ve rounded up the very best of them to buy or covet right now.
