How To Roll Your Sleeves

How do all those stylish people have their sleeves rolled so perfectly? Here's how!

Believe it or not, there is a method to rolling your sleeves, it's not just about pushing the sleeve up and folding the fabric on itself. No, it's about making it look effortless without making it look too styled. And, because the weather is heating up and we're all fanning ourselves over the citrus tones that are hitting the shop floors, I thought I'd share with you exactly how a stylist rolls her shirt sleeves up.

Step One: Unbutton your cuffs and pull the sleeve down straight.

Step 3: Fold the the fabric below the cuff on itself, this may take one or two rolls. Make sure a little bit of the cuff is left sticking out.
