In this guide, we’ll show you how to roll up your shirt sleeves the stylish way – clean, practical, and always appropriate.

✅ The 3 best sleeve roll styles
1. The Classic Roll
-
Unbutton both cuff and gauntlet
-
Fold once over the cuff’s width
-
Repeat 2–3 times until just below your elbow
🔹 Best for: everyday wear, semi-casual events
2. The Italian Roll (a.k.a. Master Roll)
-
Unbutton completely
-
Fold the cuff back once over the sleeve
-
Roll once more, leaving the cuff edge exposed
🔹 Best for: stylish, nonchalant look
3. The Quick Half Roll
-
Fold the cuff once, up to your forearm
-
Neat but casual
🔹 Best for: warmer days or quick changes
✨ Pro tip: Always make sure both sleeves are rolled to the same height – symmetry matters!
🧼 Care tips for rolled shirts
Avoid leaving your sleeves rolled overnight to prevent creases or stretched fabric. If needed, lightly steam or iron the sleeves before re-wearing.
