What are Kabuki Sleeves?
Kabuki sleeves are wide, flowing sleeves which can be of any length, although they are often short. They are most commonly used in women’s fashion, often in a combination with a loose, flowing top or dress. Most commonly, kabuki sleeves are used on a blouse. As a general rule, garments with kabuki sleeves are intended to evoke Japanese fashion aesthetics, as exemplified by the kimono, a major garment in Japanese culture.
