Unusual sleeves can give a highlight to even the simplest cut tunic. The following look best with a long blouse:

• flashlights. Usually short sleeves are given a rounded shape, but this season long sleeves, sewn based on lanterns, are in fashion;
• narrow. An interesting combination is when the cut of the tunic itself is quite spacious with narrow knitted sleeves;
• wide. What is meant here is that they widen downward;
• long. The trend is for sleeves whose length covers the palms. This effect can be created by small frills or flounces on the cuffs;
• bat. In this model, the sleeves are not cut as cut-offs, but are a single whole with the main part of the item. The armhole is lowered, due to which the shape of bat wings is created.
