Every year as the weather starts to get colder, we look for an easy way to update our fall and winter wardrobes. We're constantly adding to our denim and legging collection throughout the year, so it's usually our sweaters that need a refresh around this time. The style we have our eye on this season is the bell-sleeve sweater, a nice progression from the flare-sleeve tops we wore earlier in the year. The drape of the oversize sleeves creates a stylish, dramatic statement we can't get enough of. Plus, the standout sleeves help to create an interesting silhouette during a season that usually leaves us feeling frumpy as we pile on all the warm layers.
There are a few ways we like to wear this sweater trend. One outfit idea naturally involves a pair of jeans, but more specifically, we'd wear this bell-sleeve style with high-waisted vintage-inspired denim along with cool ankle boots. A more office-worthy approach is to tuck the statement-sleeved sweater of your choice into a favorite skirt, and to complete the look with stylish boots. For the weekend, we'd pair a bell-sleeved pick with leather leggings and sporty sneakers. The options really are endless; feel free to experiment with your favorite staples. Scroll through to shop our favorite bell-sleeve sweaters. Just don't be surprised if you find yourself eyeing more than just one style…
