Trend Alert: Detachable Sleeves from NYBFW
For the past few seasons we have seen more sleeves than our hearts can even handle. You know us, we LOVE a statement sleeve, but wanna know what we love even more? A detachable sleeve! The detachable sleeve was definitely the sleeve of NYBFW this year! We saw off the shoulder detachable sleeves, we saw detachable cap sleeves, poof sleeves and for what it's worth we saw a bad ass pair of pearl glove sleeves. Here for it all...
This trend of detachable sleeves simply wowed everyone on the runways – you ask yourself why? Well, the answer is simple – it’s something different, bold and… very practical in fact. If your ceremony takes place in a colder setting or you need to have your arms covered due to different reasons – you must have thought about some kind of cover to keep you warm and comfortable, without simultaneously hiding your beautiful dress on such a special occasion. Scroll on for our faves from the 2022 Bridal Week...
While we're here looking at detachable sleeves on these gorgeous wedding dresses, sheen fabric is our honourable mention. Honestly it could have been a top trend, but we felt that we’ve seen it emerging for a few seasons and it finally took off this season! Get ready to get swathed in sheen fabrics all day long...
If you're looking for a more gentle approach to detachable sleeves on your wedding dress, we love this tulle wraparound. Fabrics were on showcase this year! From new 3D laces to innovative bridal tweed, designers SHOWED UP on the fabric front! We saw a variety of new laces: sparkle, 3D, and modern romance.
A bit of a departure from the minimalism we know and love, we've developed a love for the bubble sleeve situation we saw from designers like Rivini this Bridal Week. Hell yes to a taste of the 80's...but make it modern.
We've never met a sleeve too big. The look was done by Rivini, Amsale and Halfpenny London among others and gave off a modern yet classic feel that our Sparrow brides have been asking for!
These detachable fluffy sleeves above are the center of attention of this sleek minimal wedding dress by Halfpenny London for the truly carefree, modern bride.
We love how these cloud-like detachable sleeves can completely change the silhouette of a wedding dress in seconds!
We’re familiar with wedding separates but these detachable sleeves lend an unexpected touch on this deep V taffeta gown from Halfpenny London above.

Dramatic and high end, this Amsale gown above is worthy of a showstopping aisle walk...
Thinking of a minimal style dress but want to add sleeves for the evening or even the ceremony only? Why not add a little interest or embellishment like these Amsale ones above?
Bigger cloud-like sleeves were for sure a huge trend in this year's NYBFW and these ones photographed by Taylor Jordan Photography above screamed 80's romance.
Two big trends in one outfit: Satin material and huge detachable sleeves. All thanks to Dana Harel...
