Please no more puffed sleeves

[Nitgel]

Seriously who wears these. Yet another collection ruined by the dreaded puff sleeve. Stop

I was just about to say that!!! 😂

Oohh, I love a puff sleeve, and a V Neck, and elastic in sleeves, and floaty blouses with voluminous sleeves. Deffo milkmaid look with my big tits.

I also like skinny jeans. Detest barrel legs (seriously they look good on noone), why do designers insist on making unflattering looks for women?

I am MN style pariah 😂

Ah but @CharlotteCChapel- as someone with a bit of upper arm wobble, I also feel the cold - I can’t sling a cardie or jacket over the top of a puff sleeve, so it becomes a “holiday evening” dress. Or something to wear during the day on an unusually hot uk day, that invariably turns cold in the evening and you have to change. That’s not a dress for a uk summer holiday, you need to be able to slip a summer jacket over the top when sat drinking in a pub garden.

This. If there were no choice then you (op and others) would have a point and my sympathies, but there is.
Likewise barrel legs.

I sew not, neither do I toil or spin, but I quite like looking like someone out of the 19th century. 😁 Someone mentioned Anne Shirley, so that works too. 😁

Can dropped waists go into the pit too please.

I love a puff sleeve so can’t agree with your take.

Puffed sleeves and tiered skirts/dresses 🤮

I lol’d at the Anne Boleyn comment. Sorry!

Hell, yes.
Tiers are an embellishment too far. They ruin the nice line of a dress or skirt. You have the pattern, the colour, perhaps a belt or a tie at the waist and someone wants to throw in a dreadful frilly fucking ruffle at the bottom too?
Tiers can get in the bin.

Tiers are also a cheap way of adding length to a dress or skirt, rather than using a single length of material. As well as being ugly and twee, they’re also a con.

I agree i have seen so many really nice tops ruined because they have puffy sleeves. I think they look ridiculous and not at all flattering

I'm tall and have long limbs. I don't bother with blouses generally. If a sleeve is offering up some shape its odds on the styling will be in the wrong place on me.

When you tell people you have long arms they think it just means long sleeves look like the equivalent of ankle skimmers. If I'm lucky, this is true, but short sleeves and 3/4 sleeves are often worse. The latter can be elbow stranglers.

I tried on a top in Jigsaw in the sale. The medium size with frilly velvet 3/4 sleeve didn't strangle my elbow but still had a puffy sleeve identity crisis on me 🤣

While we’re on the subject, can we talk about peplums? They suit literally nobody and there are far too many of them around at the moment.

Yes! Not a good look if you have broad shoulders like me. Also as previous posters have mentioned it's more difficult to find cardigans that fit over them when it's cold.

I love a moderate puff sleeve. Like a hint of puff.

They can be ok in summer, but are awful in winter under a coat. I do feel over them though. Give me a nice straight sleeve. I've even managed to buy some garments recently where the long fitted sleeves actually go to the end of my wrist in winter, imagine that.

Too high waists, for me.

This is me. Fashion is a nightmare at the moment with high neck tops and sweaters, cropped tops and the dreaded puff sleeve. I also have broad shoulders and look like a rugby player in a dress with them. It looks lovely on delicate women with small boobs but we don’t all look like models!

I can still remember seeing a young woman when I was on holiday last year who was wearing a voluminous tiered mini dress with massive puffed sleeves. It was the most unflattering garment I’ve ever seen. It was actually wider than it was long.

Some people don’t dress for the male view of a women’s body. Dressing can be be fun when you aren’t obsessing over an arbitrary version of “flattering”.

They were ridiculous back in the day too!

I am with you. I have quite square shoulders and puff sleeves look awful - like an American football player.

I wish I’d worked this out sooner! I’ve bought so many puffed sleeved tops over the years.

Yes, it’s time for them to get in the bin. Or at least have enough options that are not puffy!
