SLEEVES-101
If you are looking to amp up the “wow” factor for your next virtual concert, there is no need to pull out your favorite Tom Ford gown. Sleeve choices can make a positive impact on your on-screen appearance. Two types of blouse sleeves can take your outfit to the next level- the Bishop Sleeve and the Puffed Sleeve. They are both great options, and the Bishop Sleeve has a few variations, making it easy for you to choose the style and fit that compliments your body best.
BISHOP SLEEVE
Simply defined, the bishop sleeve is a wide sleeve that narrows at the wrist, typically into a cuff. Examples of the bishop sleeve can be found throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, including the blossoming sleeves of the 1960s hippie peasant dress and the glamorous gowns of the 1930s Hollywood starlet.
PUFFED SLEEVE
Puffed sleeves are made when the sleeves of a woman’s garment are gathered at the shoulders and caught in at the cuff to create an inflated, puffy effect. It’s a beautiful, simple and toned down look that still gives you the elegance and femininity of a dress. You can pair a puffed sleeve blouse with a high waisted skirt for a dressy look, or a pair of Recto pants for ease and comfort.
HIGH WAISTED SKIRT
High waisted skirts are an incredibly popular fashion trend that has proven to be extremely versatile. High waisted skirts can be dressed up, dressed down, and are flattering on nearly every body shape.
JEWELRY
When picking jewelry for video, choose elegant yet understated. Large jewelry pieces can interfere with your headphones and microphones (if wearing a lapel mic), so choose wisely.
STILETTO HEELS
The Stiletto is a timeless staple and essential footwear for the fashionforward femme fatal. The shoe has become a signature for designers like Jimmy Choo, Oscar de la Renta, and Christan Louboutin, who added red soles to his stilettos in 1993, and they have remained quintessential diva wear ever since. Over the years, the Stiletto has become a symbol of liberation and has come to represent a certain formidable working woman.
