Convertible Sleeves are Finally a Thing

I love a dramatic sleeve, so when I see a shirt or dress that embraces that trend, I tend to go for it. One thing I’ve been noticing lately is that some pieces of clothing are offering convertible sleeves — and I am here for it!

Sleeves down

KBB by Kahlana is a Target brand that’s been launching some fierce designs. My Target can’t keep these pieces in stock. KBB loves to play with shirting, one of my favorite looks/trends. When I saw this convertible button-up blouse I had to have it. For $40 you get 2 shirts in 1! And you can never have too many button-ups for Zoom meetings or to show off a necklace.

Sleeves Buttoned-Up

As someone who lives in Texas and tends to run hot, I love that I can button these sleeves to cool down or get them out of my way when eating etc. Another option is to roll the sleeves half way in a more traditional fashion as seen in the first photo of this post.

What’s even better is that some dresses now offer a convertible sleeve option! I wore this dress previously with the sleeves down, but here I am showing my Buru dress with the sleeves buttoned to the top. It’s perfect for summer and spring this way!
