How to roll up sleeves on a shirt

Tucking up the sleeves on the shirt is one way to make the outfit stylish and unusual. Such a trick is especially relevant when it is necessary to observe strictness in the image during the day, and in the evening, not being able to change clothes, to “lighten” the outfit. In a man’s suit, such a manipulation always looks elegant and slightly careless, which is very attractive to women and envies men.

In which case on the shirt you can roll up your sleeves

If earlier, at a time when the term “fashion” was familiar to units, clothes were pumped up only for practical purposes - hands bare to the elbow saved men from heat, protected clothes from pollution during dirty work. Today, the sleeves of any shirt that fastens with a button can be rolled up not only for good, but also for beauty. Here are the main reasons modern men do this:

  1. Practicality and convenience. This is often associated with professional activities: the company has a dress code, and you have to do the “dirty” work - repair equipment, draw diagrams, for example.
  2. High air temperature.
  3. The desire to keep up with the times, and the beat fashion.

It is not enough for a man who has chosen such a solution to simply fasten the buttons on his sleeves and roll up the cuffs. To do this, you need to know the basic rules and principles of maneuver.

General rules for wrapping sleeves to help you look stylish

There are strict rules that will help to beautifully improve the outfit and not spoil the clothes:

  1. Sleeves need to be rolled up only on ironed things, otherwise the image will not be fashionably sloppy, but sloppy.
  2. The distance from the brush to the place of the turn should be at least 10-12 cm (depending on the complexion of the man’s body).
  3. It is necessary to roll up evenly and accurately so that the fabric is collected in the same folds.

Important! You can only roll up shirts, jackets and blazers are not suitable for this solution. This is due to the density of the fabric and the peculiarity of tailoring the details of the wardrobe (jackets and blazers are lined, sewn from more dense fabric than shirts).

Three basic options for a rolled up sleeve

There are three basic methods for rolling up your shirt: classic, to the elbow, and Italian. They are created on the same principle, but have some differences.

How to roll up your sleeve in a classic way - to the forearm. Step-by-step instruction

Rolling the sleeve of a shirt to the forearm is the surest way to protect clothes from contamination during physical work, as well as cool in the heat. The classic twist is done like this:

  1. All buttons are unfastened, the fabric is smoothed.
  2. The cuffs are turned outward with the back side and rolled upward in the form of a roller to the required height.
  3. The fabric is collected "accordion" and rises up above the elbow.

The basic requirement for a classic twist is symmetry. It is best to measure in advance the length by which both sleeves will be tucked. If one is higher, the other is lower, you need to redo the gates so as not to seem groomed.

How to roll up a sleeve to the elbow. Step-by-step instruction

The turn up to the elbow is very similar to the classic one, the difference is only in the height at which the cuffs are twisted. Instructions for implementation:

  1. Unfasten all buttons.
  2. Unscrew the cuffs once up and wrap under the material at a height of 1-2 cm below the elbows.
  3. Spread the fabric so that no wrinkles form.

This version of the flap is suitable for all styles of clothing, it is used with practical use or in order to modernize the image.

How to make an elegant Italian look. Step-by-step instruction

The Italian flap is slightly different from the previous two. The only caveat - the buttons are unfastened only on the cuffs, and not on the shirt fabric. Here's how to do an Italian twist:

  1. Unfasten the buttons that hold the cuffs together.
  2. Unscrew the cuffs with the back side out and raise them to a level just below the elbows.
  3. The part of the fabric that remains must be twisted to the cuffs, lightly applied to them, but the edge should not be hidden.

This method is the most original. Italian gates look very stylish if the cuffs differ in color from the shirt.

Additional ways to tuck sleeves

There are other, less popular, ways to refine or modernize, which include the вор gateway.

How to turn the sleeve on ¾

Turn от is done like the classic way of rolling:

  1. Unfasten the buttons on the cuffs and turn them out.
  2. Tuck cuffs 2 times.
  3. Tighten the fabric 1-2 times, straighten the fabric.

Thus, the length is obtained, called seamstresses and designers as "3/4".

How else can I roll up a sleeve that fastens with a button

The most unusual method of turning is based on the manipulation of cuffs. If a man is brave, takes care of himself and fashion trends, then it is appropriate to recommend him to fully expose the cuffs outside, without hiding or tucking them. Some sources refer to such a trick as "elegant twist", which is also used by women.
