But wait! What if you have an event to go to mid-July that calls for a little more coverage than a tank top strap can give you? In that case, it's important you know what your other options are—and know there are so many cool alternatives to choose from. Keep scrolling for a celeb-inspired education on all the best options for summer sleeves.
Jourdan Dunn, short sleeves and cutouts? Oh my! Say hello to the look you should be living in all summer. This playful maxi dress is a great transitional piece to take you from daytime to nighttime—no matter the occasion. It's always appropriate and works with all body types.
Not only is this one way to keep cool while the weather is hot, but there's something so sultry about showing a little shoulder. Like Jessica Biel, go for sleeves that aren't going to hug your arms—the tighter, the warmer your body temperature will be.
Obviously, short sleeves are the way to go, but if you're bored with looking like everyone else, do as Jaime King and throw some billowy sleeves on. Their oversized nature elevates any outfit!
If you're looking for some coverage this summer (maybe you have a big job interview?), you're going to need sleeves. Keep Rose Byrne's dress in mind when you go shopping. Chiffon's barely-there feeling makes it the ultimate choice.
Bell sleeves are back! The statement-making detail really will turn heads if done correctly. When they're attached to a dress (like Nikki Reed's is), it's an easy throw-on-and-go outfit, but if it's a bell-sleeved top you're planning on rocking, go for something formfitting on the bottom to ensure you won't distract.
