How To Cover Upper Arms And Look Fashionable With Caridgans
I like wearing cardigans because they cover my upper arms and give me the look of a thinner waist. I don’t have curves (thanks to scoliosis), and a cardigan tricks the eye by drawing it inward and creating the illusion of a thinner waist. Here are a couple that I’ve recently worn.
How To Cover Upper Arms And Look Fashionable With Shirts & Blouses
The easiest way to cover your upper arms is with a shirt or blouse. In the summer months, I like to wear short sleeves as well as a 3/4 length. If I wear a long sleeve shirt, I’ll roll the sleeves up to create a 3/4 length look. I also use different fabrics to cover my arms, such as crochet or sheer items.
How To Cover Upper Arms And Look Fashionable With Ruanas & Ponchos
One of my favorite ways to cover my upper arms is by adding a ruana or a poncho to my outfit. I can add a lot of visual interest with these items and cover my arms at the same time. I call this a WIN-WIN!
Here are more items I found to ease any issues you might have with showing your arms.

A short-sleeved sweater is a great way to cover the upper arms. This vibrant option is designed to drape loosely for a relaxed fit.

How To Cover Upper Arms And Look Fashionable – Talbots
The shrug is back! This ultra-soft version is woven with metallic threads, so it shines with a subtle sparkle. It hangs straight from the shoulder and lightly skims the midsection, and the sleeves are a nice length ending right at the elbow. Available in sizes XS-XL.
One more shrug, this time in a timeless classic color. Made from a breezy pointelle knit, it features short sleeves and a hook & eye closure and hits right at the hip. This would be gorgeous over a white or yellow sundress, or with a great pair of white jeans and a tank top. It’s also available in white, but there aren’t as many sizes left, so if you prefer that option shop quickly!

Finally, Amazon is a great resource for items like ruanas and short-sleeved cardigans. This knit version looks very similar to the others above but is much less expensive. It comes in a ton of colors and is under $32. The reviews are great, and get high marks for size, appearance, and softness.
Okay, Gurls. I am in no way saying you SHOULD cover your upper arms. That’s a personal choice and I say to each her own. But if you are insecure about the area, hopefully, one of these fashionable items will help!
