The Sleeve Roll

For the longest time I could never figure out the best way to roll up the sleeves of button-down shirts. If wearing a shirt out casually, or just getting down to business at work, it adds a great touch to the outfit. Plus it’s just comfortable.

Usually it would take a double roll (flip, then flip again), but on well-fitting shirts, there usually isn’t enough fabric for the second roll up. But then I read about this method from GQ awhile back that has proven to be best. Good length, and never falls down. And usually I can leave one button left buttoned, so that it’s just tight enough. If you want to go all the way up to the elbow, just adjust accordingly.
