Puff Sleeves Are the Celeb-Worn Fall Fashion Trend Everyone Is Trying Now — You Can Get In on It from $36

Kate Middleton, Reese Witherspoon, and Joanna Gaines each have pretty distinct style — yet, this one feminine fashion detail spans all of their wardrobes. 

The three of them have recently been spotted in puff-sleeve pieces. Most recently, the Princess of Wales looked like the picture of fall in a plaid midi dress on September 8, while Gaines, Witherspoon, and even Laura Dern have all sported the voluminous sleeves in the past few weeks. 

And if there was ever a time for puff-sleeves, it’s now. They’re much warmer than ultra-breezy and strappy summer shirts yet not overly heavy like a full-blown wool topper. They can also make something as simple as a plain T-shirt look much more romantic and elegant. 

Ahead, our favorite puff-sleeve styles at Nordstrom starting under $50.

Puff-Sleeve Styles Inspired by Celebrities

Caslon Puff-Sleeve Stretch Cotton Shirtdress

Make workwear fun again with this “very flattering” and “classy” dress from Sam Edelman. The buttons in the front mimic the look of a quintessential office essential — the button-up shirt — and the length and sleeves provide just the right amount of coverage. The “sleeves don’t have too much puff,” either according to a second shopper, so you don’t need to second-guess whether it’s too much for your 9 to 5. 

Treasure & Bond Puff-Sleeve Sweatshirt

And don’t think for a second that puff-sleeves are only for fancy occasions! Case in point: This 100 percent cotton sweatshirt looks comfy enough for a date with your couch, a bowl of chips, and Sunday night football. It even has hems and cuffs like a normal hoodie, so it’s basically just like a more sophisticated version of your favorite loungewear. 

Sam Edelman Austin Puff Sleeve Button-Up Shirt

If it’s still too hot outside for a full-on fall jacket, this button-up offers a good middle ground. It mimics the styles of the celebrity-worn jean jackets that are already on the rise, but its sleeves taper off at around elbow-length for a better breeze all-around. The lived-in denim material also makes it a little more relaxed and casual than other styles. Plus, it’s 50 percent off.
