When I first read Anne of Green Gables in the early ’90s, grunge-inspired, and minimalist fashions were trending, and Anne’s much wished-for puffed sleeves were far from fashionable. These days, full, dramatic puff and leg-of-mutton shaped sleeves are back in fashion, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Here are three ways you could wear the voluminous-sleeve trend right now that feels effortless, not fussy. And each blouse is on sale!
