The bracelet sleeve is a 50s/60s detail, good with longer gloves and, like it’s namesake, perfect for showing off decorative bracelets. This silhouette likes sheers and ethereal prints. The short sleeve version is a no-nonsense style which shines when made with an unexpected material, like wool crepe or iridescent silk.
