Fashion Vocabulary: What's a Bracelet Sleeve?

Maybe you've been listening to this season's fashion talk and wondering, what the heck is a bracelet sleeve? Isn't it the same thing as a 3/4 length sleeve? Well, technically, no. Bracelet sleeves are different than the 3/4 length sleeve because they hit just above the wrist rather than just below the elbow, which is a difference of a few inches. This look was named the "bracelet sleeve" because it's the perfect length to show off bracelets (how original). Need to see it to understand? Just look on the runways, especially at Louis Vitton, pictured. It's not just on the runways, either. This look has also been spotted recently on celebrities like Beyonce and Katie Holmes.

i never actually, intentionally purchased a bracelet sleeve. But some sleeves that are suppose to be full length. fit me like a bracelet sleeve. If i get a size up, it'll fit me too loose from the waist. I never mind because I know I have long arms and It doesn't look bad at all. It actually makes your hands look nicer and overall you can wear bracelets!
