Different Sleeve Lengths
The style will affect the length of the sleeves, so the sleeves must match the style. You need to be aware of the standard sleeves. These can be adjusted to fit the style you want.
- Short sleeves – Just below the elbow length and slightly shorter than the cap sleeves. Arm-length sleeves are another option. They stop just a few inches above the elbow.
- 3/4th Sleeves: 3/4th sleeves are just below the elbow.
- Full Sleeves – They are long sleeves that fully cover your arms.
These variations can be used to make the sleeves we will soon discuss.
Different Sleeve Designs and their Names
Raglan Sleeves
Raglan sleeves are available in many lengths. They are popular for casual tops, bodycon dresses, and T-shirts.
Kimono Sleeves
Kimono sleeves were inspired by traditional Japanese Kimono clothing, similar to bathrobes. They are long and wide. This sleeve style is becoming more popular and can be used with Indian and western attires.
Bishop Sleeves
Do you remember the Bishop-style dresses and shirts you saw in period dramas? This is the inspiration for this style. The style has evolved to meet modern needs. The full-length bishop sleeves start at the elbow and open as they reach the wrist. They are finished with buttons at the ends and form a cuff.
Sleeveless Shoulder Sleeves
Off-shoulder sleeves have been around for a while and are still in fashion. They are bare and open at the shoulders. You can choose from a variety of lengths and sizes.
Butterfly Sleeves
They combine cap sleeves with puffed sleeves. They can be worn on the garment as a delicate extension of your shoulder. They do not taper, unlike the puffed sleeves. Perfect for deep neck tops or dresses.
Puffed Sleeves
The sleeves with puffy sleeves are short and gathered so that they look like puffs. These sleeves look great with traditional sarees and short dresses, shirts, or flowing tops. If you’re not confident with your arms, avoid them.
Cap Sleeves
As we have just mentioned, cap sleeves are simply caps you wear over your shoulders. Cap sleeves are extensions of your collarbones.
Angel Sleeves
Imagine fairy wings attached to a dress. That’s exactly how they look. This is also the inspiration for this type of sleeve. The sleeves can make them look different, but that’s the point.
Bracelet sleeves
This is a metaphor for sleeves that end just above your wrist. Bracelet sleeves are common in full-sleeved tops because they technically reach below your wrist.
Cuff Sleeves
Cuff sleeves can be called rolled-up, shirt style, or shirt style. They are sleeves with buttons and an integrated fold. This style, which started as a way to roll up shirts, has become a huge trend in the clothing industry.
