Sleeves are really important for A/W 18.
Yes, we know sleeves are always important in the autumn and winter. But, usually, they are there to keep us warm. But for the upcoming season, sleeves are important for trend reasons – not just as sleeves to cover arms
For A/W 18, look out for balloon sleeves, split sleeves, bishop sleeves, tulip and flute sleeves, frill-trimmed 3/4-length sleeves. But, basically any and all sleeves.
Sleeves, whether decorative or plain, are also perfect for women of 50-plus because many of us don’t like to show our arms.
And because the fashion industry is beginning to cater to the needs of the 50-plus consumer (only beginning, please note), that is one reason why sleeves (and midis and maxis) were all over the catwalks and collections for A/W 18.
Indeed, it is the same reason why sleeves (and midis and maxis) had a moment during this summer, too.
[Midis are another story. For now, we’ll just remind you of what we’ve said before: that there are Real Midis and Faux Midis. The Real Midi is quite long and often a bit flowy – almost a maxi, in fact – but showing ankles and a few inches of calf. Then there’s the Faux Midi where the word ‘Midi’ is used to describe a dress that’s long enough to properly cover the knees (what many of us would simply call ‘knee-length’) but not a true Midi in spirit or cut…]
