Long button-down shirts are a big trend this season but the struggle becomes all too real when you fold the sleeve up and it unfolds constantly throughout your day. You fold all the way up to your elbow and think it’s tight enough to stay but it gets incredibly uncomfortable when you can’t bend your arm at all. Oh how we wish there was an easier way to keep that sleeve in place.
Well, we can all stop wishing now because we have the easiest tutorial on how to cuff your oxford sleeve and make it last.
Step 1: Extend your arm and pull down the sleeve. Make sure it’s unbuttoned because it won’t fold up too far if it is.
Step 2: Pull the cuff all the way up to your elbow. The sleeve should look like it’s length has been cut in half.
Step 3: Take the bottom half of the folded sleeve and fold up in itself. The cuff should be sticking out from the top and you’re free to either fold it down or keep it up. Both ways look pretty cool.
And that’s it! No more fallen sleeves while wearing a button-down and your arm can move in whichever way it likes!
