This Top Is Going To Be HUGE In 2018 (& It's Not Bell Sleeves!)

It's a new year and a new shopping season, so of course all the fashion girls are flocking to a brand-new, fresh-off-the-runway trend for 2018. What is it?

 

The answer: Balloon sleeves!

 

As seen on the runways of Louis Vuitton, Burberry and JOUR/NÉ balloon sleeves are a natural progression from the bell sleeve--but definitely distinct from the 2017 trend.

 

Glamour writes that "Voluminous blouses that feel a little bit 19th century," will be taking over from where the bell-sleeve trend left off in 2018. We can't wait! How glamorous and high-maintence to have sleeves that you can barely eat, clean and live in.
