Long Sleeve Shirts

A well-fitted long sleeve shirt should hug your shoulders without pulling, taper gently through the torso, and allow for comfortable arm movement. The sleeve should end just at the wrist bone when your arms are relaxed at your sides. For dress shirts, ensure the cuff peeks out about half an inch under your suit jacket.

When wearing a suit, your dress shirt sleeve should extend just beyond your jacket cuff. Ideally, about 1 cm (roughly ¼–½ inch) of your shirt cuff should show. This subtle detail gives your outfit a tailored, balanced look.

To fold a long sleeve shirt neatly:

1. Lay it flat, buttoned up, face down.
2. Fold one sleeve straight across the back.
3. Fold the sleeve back down at an angle, parallel to the shirt’s side seam.
4. Repeat for the other side.
5. Fold the bottom third up, then again, to create a tidy rectangle.
   This keeps your shirts crisp and ready to wear, whether in your drawer or suitcase.

Cotton long sleeve shirts are ideal for everyday comfort, soft, breathable, and easy to care for. For colder months, look for heavier cotton or flannel. In warmer weather, lightweight cotton jersey or linen blends keep you cool without sacrificing style.

• A white long sleeve shirt pairs effortlessly with denim, chinos, or under a blazer for a classic look.
• A black long sleeve shirt offers versatility, wear it tucked for a refined aesthetic or untucked for a more casual vibe.

For a relaxed edge, try a Henley long sleeve in neutral tones or a yellow long sleeve shirt for a subtle pop of colour.
