The lack of attached sleeves on a garment worn on the upper body, often revealing [[bare shoulders]] and arms. This tag may be used alongside [[detached sleeves]]; for arms lacking any type of sleeves, use [[bare arms]].

On pixiv, the tag "アメリカンスリーブ":http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AB%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%96 (American Sleeve) is used to denote a kind of sleeveless clothing where the armholes are cut near the base of the neck to the lower armpit, leaving a large portion of the shoulders bare. This is also typically a [[sleeveless turtleneck]].

Sleeveless is mutually exclusive with [[strapless]]; they should not be used together to describe the same clothing; "sleeveless" should not be used synonymously to describe any outfits that simply reveals bare shoulders. Use [[sleeveless]] if the clothing in question is not strapless and is not designed with a low, wide-cut neckline, such as [[off-shoulder shirt]]s.
