I'm Not a Fan of Showing My Arms—40 Incredibly Chic Summer Finds That Keep Them Covered

fashion collage of four style influencers including Caroline Lin, Fia Hamelijnck, Chloe Butler, and Monikh Dale wearing chic arm-covering summer outfit ideas with long sleeves

I can’t remember exactly when it started, but when summer comes around, I really don’t feel comfortable showing off my arms. Before the hot weather starts to show up in the forecast I set out to refresh my closet every year with some arm-covering pieces that I can’t get enough of. I am now well-versed when it comes to this search and I heavily rely on the “sleeve length” search filters of my favorite retailers to narrow down the tops and dresses that fit the bill.

This year, I have my eye on 40 standout pieces that cover my arms without sacrificing style. My roundup is full of short, 3/4, and long-sleeved picks in a variety of silhouettes. Think everything from billowy sleeves to ruffles to more form-fitting styles, especially in cotton and linen fabrics to keep cool. Shop these incredibly chic arm-covering summer finds below.
