My arms have never been a favorite feature of mine . . . but it’s never stopped me from finding tops that flatter! My secret is picking loose and slimming styles that cover and conceal the arms while also looking stylish. To help you find one for yourself, I rounded up 17 spring styles that best flatter larger arms.
Whether you’re needing a confidence-boosting top for the office or an elevated version for spring brunches, these styles slim the arms without constricting them. Think: fabrics that skim without clinging, silhouettes with elongating effects and textures that create visual movement away from the arms. Even better? They’re all budget-friendly picks that start at just $6.
