There seems to be no end to the variety of styles ankara and lace have in their top draws; and flare sleeves proves that. The flare sleeve or bell sleeve is actually inspired by the 70s trend that has been hitting the racks recently (with that 70s trend comes fringed-out texture, red-hued colors, suede materials, and vintage silhouettes). A flared sleeve can either be short or long in length usually without pleating at the armhole and flares towards the bottom.
