Made famous by none of than the groundbreakingly directional brand Vetements, one of the most distinctive looks in fashion this year is extra-long sleeves. Well, it may come as a surprise, but a brand more known for its romantic gowns than streetwear-inspired trends is among the latest to endorse it. Yesterday, Vera Wang debuted her S/S 17 designs at New York Fashion Week, and nearly every look that came down the runway featured extra-long sleeves. The entirely black-and-white collection was devoid of ball gowns and instead closed with maxi dresses that would be more appropriate on a street style star with a pair of sneakers. That said, Vera Wang’s take on the streetwear-inspired trend was decidedly more feminine than the oversize hoodies at Vetements. The fabrics were soft and airy, and many looks were off the shoulder.
Check out the collection below to see how Wang is updating the extra-long sleeve trend for 2017, and then shop Vera Wang pieces.
