Fashion | Wingz Fashion Sleeves Review
Wednesday, May 10, 2017
Recently I was offered the chance to review a pair of Wingz Fashion Sleeves. This is a product I have tried a few years ago and loved and was more than happy to try something else from their range.
Wingz are a hard product to describe, they are not a top or underwear. Simply put they are sleeves.
You wear them under a top or a dress to add sleeves, I think the idea is to mainly wear them under dresses but I currently don't have any sleeveless dresses that I felt would work with the pair I was sent.
I decided to wear mine for work with quite a casual vest top and trousers. I also wore a waistcoat cardigan with a hem that mirrored the shape of the sleeves.
Wearing the Wingz this way I smartened up a work look and dressed down the wingz themselves.
The second time I wore them was to a funeral. I still wore trousers and a slightly smarter t-shirt. I didn't get a photo of this look. It felt a little much to take photos of an outfit I wore to a funeral.
I love the delicate material and the lace design, I felt comfortable wearing them and I didn't feel like they were going to slip off my shoulders or that it was obvious I'd added separate sleeves to a top and even had compliments on how nice my new top was.
My office temperature varies dramatically from hour to hour and I was warm and cool enough, as a rule, I have no issue walking around with bare arms but in an office environment I always feel like I should at least cover my shoulder and this product was a good way for my to do that without adding bulk.
There are 4 size ranges offered covering UK Sizes 6 -28 which is a good broad range, I would love it if they covered a large size ranged and do feel that because of the jersey material and the elastic it may fit a couple of sizes either side of the range. I opted for the size 2 which covers sizes 18-22 and while I don't think the size below would have been big enough, the size above would have been too big.
The below pictures shows a close up of the lace and a picture of how the Wingz look before you add the top layer.
I'm sure I will be wearing these a lot in the future and I'm going to dust down my other pair, which is plain black and try them with other tops and dresses.
This pair of wingz was sent to me as a review item and I have not been paid for this review, as always all words and opinions are my own.

I've seen these before, they do look like a very good idea
ReplyDeleteI love the look of these they are such a fab idea. I'm not keen on my arms in some of my tops so its handy to wear these.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I am pretty confident with my body but there are times I feel the need to cover up my "bingo wings" lol! These would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think these are a really good idea. I always tend to wear a cardigan/ something over the tops of my arms as I don't like the way they look so these would be ideal for me x
ReplyDeleteI love Wingz and have a plain pair myself. I love the idea of this lace trimmed pair, and at such a great price I can see myself ordering them on payday! x
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of Wingz before, but I love the idea - I'm not a fan of my upper arms, so these would be perfect! x
ReplyDeleteThe Wingz sleeves look great, very stylish!
ReplyDeleteI NEED these in my life! I dont wear sleeveless dresses or tops but sometimes their designs are so nice but never end up getting them!
ReplyDeleteI think I could benefit from Wingz as I hate having my arms on show, but often like strappy tops and dresses. I'll have to give them a go and see what I think :)

What an interesting piece of clothing, I think it's so cute. Love the lace
ReplyDeletewhat clever idea! I love how they can transform an outfit so easily!
ReplyDeleteMy mummy reviewed Wingz as well and absolutely loved them, she had the plain black ones but the lace design looks lovely as well. They are such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of wings and the lace detail is so pretty :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't hear about this product before but it looks great for people who don't want to show their arms or who are trying to cover a tattoo for a formal meeting.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool concept! Definitely helps take your summer clothes into autumn too!
ReplyDeleteThese look really pretty. Such a great way to easily change an outfit.
ReplyDeleteThese look really pretty the close up shots really help give that much needed closer look of the product. It sounds like it is pretty versatile.
ReplyDeleteThese ones are really pretty, I have a set too and they are great if you want to add sleeves to a summer dress or top.
ReplyDeleteThey look great for summer. I love layering tops in winter, but it's just too hot in the summer!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen these before, but I really like the idea of being able to modify so many looks with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece that every lady should have in their wardrobe! Perfect for me as I don't wear very many short sleeve tops x
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Wingz before and I think it's a brilliant concept!
ReplyDeleteI love reading all your comments, so make sure you leave me one x
