If the temperature is too high, both outdoors and indoors, it is advisable to free your hands at least a little. In the office itself, you can roll up your sleeves only if the dress code allows, but after a working day or on the way to work, this is perfectly acceptable.

There are several basic ways to roll up your sleeves.

• buttons on the cuffs unfasten completely;
• cuffs are turned inside out;
• the edges are neatly tweaked, and at this time you should immediately set the required width of the sunset - cuffs or slightly less;

• all the time it is necessary to correct the curl in width.

This option is more in demand, it is used for various purposes, for example, to demonstrate that a hard working day is over. There is nothing complicated in its performance, especially since the sleeves will not particularly crumple. If necessary, you can return everything to its original form. This variation goes well with a sweater raised to the elbows. The best way to hide the thinness of the arms, to give them athleticism.

Algorithm of actions:

• all buttons must be brought to the unbuttoned position;
• focusing on the size of the cuffs, one or two turns are wrapped so that the end falls on the elbow joint;
• the rolled up sleeves must be tweaked so that they do not constrain the bend of the elbow and do not interfere.

This stylish way the designers spied on the Italians, it is considered the most expressive. The cuffs and their location can be adjusted to your liking and need. The whole point of this technique is that the wrong side of the shirt should differ in color, print from the front one. That is, to be contrasting and expressive. Therefore, this technique will not work with any shirt; it is necessary to buy models in which the wrong side of the sleeve is different from the surface.

The execution technology is simple:

• the buttons are unbuttoned;
• the sleeves are turned inside out, the edges are stretched so that the cuff is below the elbow;
• a sleeve folded in half is obtained, which is turned inside out;
• the edges are folded and overlapped with a cuff made in color;
• the sleeve ends up being turned inside out twice;
• finishing touch - straighten the sleeves and edges, increase or decrease the seamy part.

The most elegant option of all of these, looks perfect on shirts made of thick fabric.

Procedure:

• it is necessary to unfasten the cuff and turn it out;
• then it rises above the elbow or to another desired height;
• the remaining sleeve rises so that the collar is aligned with the bottom edge, and the cuff does not close;
• at the end, the gate is straightened.

• the distance is different in different models, so one or two turns may be needed;
• when the sleeve is rolled up to the required level, the tongue is fastened with a button or button - as a result, it is on the front side.

The fact that the tongue sewn from the inside out is in plain sight should not be embarrassing. Most often it is made of the same material as the sleeve, therefore it does not stand out, does not strike the eye. This type of shirt is informal, democratic. In a strict style, it is not particularly appropriate, but paired with jeans, slacks, chinos and other casual outfits, it is indispensable.Looks especially gorgeous in tandem with suspenders.
