When it comes to nailing the spring dressing agenda, there are more than a few ways to spice up your 'fit this season. Floral trends are perhaps the ones that instantly scream 'signature spring.' However, this is by no means the only available routes – injecting some drama can be easily achieved via one of the most versatile trends out there: the puff-sleeve.

A statement sleeve exudes power – and we are utterly spoilt for choice this season. Which will be your sartorial weapon of choice – the balloon, the leg-of-mutton, the Juliet or the Recencycore short puff?

Take your cues from maison Dior if a ivory mesh moment is calling, or perhaps Vivienne Westwood for some 'piratecore' pizzaz.

Chloé on the other hand, known best for its airy, boho-infused aesthetic, stripped things back in favour of ultra-clean lines – championing the simple one-shoulder elbow-length puff in a creamy off-white hue.

Billowy blouses and show-stopping shirts – this season we're going big, or we're going home. And rest assured, there is no exit in sight. Stray from spring style tradition and embrace a voluminous boost – you certainly won't regret it, and we have the evidence to prove it.
