How to roll up the sleeves of a shirt?
The shirt is the best friend of the working man: you can wear it almost any time. Shirts come in plenty of styles and colours, from a casual shirt with a print for your free time to a tuxedo shirt for a gala. If you have long arms, go for a shirt with sleeve length 7: these sleeves are extra long, so the cuff sits neatly on your wrist even when you stretch your arms out. In the summer months it can be too warm for a long-sleeved shirt. You can then opt for a short-sleeved shirt, or you roll up your sleeves. But how do you do that neatly? There are four ways, and they differ mainly in how high the sleeve ends up and how firmly it stays put.
The aifa roll
This is the quickest and easiest way. Fold the cuff at the end of the sleeve over once, then roll it over once more. Done. The sleeve doesn't go far above your wrist and the roll looks deliberately relaxed, which makes it a good fit for a day off.
The basic roll
This technique is similar to the previous one, only you fold the sleeve over three times instead of two. That makes the roll sturdier, so it's less likely to slip down during the day, and the sleeve sits a lot higher on your forearm.
The high roll
With the high roll you start the same way as with the previous two, but you fold the sleeve over four times. If all goes well, the sleeve ends up above your elbow. This roll suits men with muscular arms and is practical when you work a lot with your hands: the chance of your sleeve getting dirty is small.
The master roll
For this technique you slide the cuff over the sleeve without rolling it up. You then roll the fabric underneath over the cuff, so the cuff stays visible. This is regarded as the classic, tidy way to roll up your sleeves. A bonus: you can unroll the sleeve in one smooth movement if the day turns out to be more formal than expected.
