Style Trend: Fluttered Sleeves
With the hippie trend coming back around, peasant tops and fluttered sleeves are regaining popularity. Donning a deep v-neck top of my own with these sleeves today I realized, fluttered sleeves are the best thing for camouflaging chubby arms. I know that a lot of girls put off buying new clothes or keeping up with trends while struggling to lose weight, and this style is definitely a solution.
This top is from Wet Seal, designed by Ashlee Simpson. Animal prints are big right now too!
To look slim, look for a top that has structure; a too-loose top will make you look larger. Your top should reach just past the top band of your jeans, but not cover your butt, which will add bulk. Look for tops that hug your body around and under your bust comfortably and have more volume at the bottom. These hippie-style tops are constructed to be flowy around your mid-section, which will be especially flattering if you opt for a shirt with a deep V or fun detailing on top.
Peasant top puff sleeves are also flattering as long as they fit properly and don’t cut into the arm.
