Puff-sleeve tops

The ‘Zoom blouse’ might be looking like a thing of the past – phew! – but that doesn’t mean a more muted approach to dressing is on the cards. In fact, statement sleeves are still a major trend, with pretty puff sleeves offering the most wearable way in (although if you want to go for a full 19th-century leg-of-mutton sleeve, please be our guest). This pretty feminine shape adds a romantic edge to summer tops (like the one seen here on M&S Insider Sophie), and looks great balanced against tougher fabrics such as denim or leather.
