When it comes to puffy sleeves (one of the biggest fashion trends of the season), the bigger, the better. The puffy-sleeve movement is all about drama. Designers are exaggerating silhouettes with help from shoulder pads and extra inches of fabric, pumping up the sleeves of button-up shirts, off-the-shoulder tops, and structured blouses.

It's not just the tops that are getting the voluminous makeover; dresses are also receiving the '80s treatment. But there's no need to go all Alexis Carrington from Dynasty. You can subtly work the extra volume into your outfits with a puff-sleeve top.
