Here’s something that should come as no surprise: Martha Stewart definitely has some sophistication up her sleeve — her puff sleeves, to be exact.

The entertaining expert just gave a preview of her 100th (!) book, Martha: The Cookbook by Martha Stewart!, live on QVC. And, as excited as we were by her photo with the book on QVC’s Instagram, we’ll admit we had even bigger heart eyes for her big, billowy sleeves. Stewart’s puff-sleeve sweater has exaggerated lantern sleeves with rolled cuffs, a crew neckline, and ribbed trim. No stranger to a matching set, she finished the look with coordinating beige pants.

Puff-sleeve sweaters are an elegant wardrobe staple for fall. They add dressy flair to a classic style and pair effortlessly with everything from wide-leg jeans and pleated trousers to mini skirts. 

Stewart’s embraced sweater season head on this year (or should we say, sleeve on?). She wore a yellow crewneck sweater and two different collared sweaters during episodes of her Martha Cooks Instagram series, a navy cable-knit sweater during a trip to Versailles, and a quarter-zip sweater at a dinner party in New York City. She even wore a denim shirt with similar, balloon-like puff sleeves back in June.
