Balloon Sleeves Are The Bold Fashion Trend Taking Over 2024 Runways
By LESLIE LEON
Off-The-Shoulder
These balloon sleeves add a romantic touch, reminiscent of a fairytale. In the Spring 2024 Ready-to-Wear Show, Alberta Ferretti’s look was whimsical and regal.
Casual
Even when applied to your crisp button-down shirts, balloon sleeves can turn an ordinary top-and-jeans outfit into something high fashion.
Voluminous Sweaters
A warm and cozy sweater with balloon sleeves adds volume and dimension. Designers like Ulla Johnson play up their knits, an easy way to add a dramatic look.
Puffy Fabric
Intensify this voluminous style element with dreamy tulle fabric. This whimsical feature creates an airy and feminine look when turned into a balloon sleeve.
Outerwear
Balloon sleeves get a modern twist in 2024 as designers like Louis Vuitton transform jackets and coats, adding volume and style for a polished look.
