Short Sleeved Summer Shirts
The main draw back with short sleeved button down shirts is the actual
short sleeves. A man with his long shirt sleeves rolled up says ‘sexy chic’
compared to short sleeves flapping around skinny arms or straining over stocky
arms. But that is not to say the short sleeve does not have its place in a
man’s style wardrobe, especially as beach or holiday wear.
Roll Up! Roll Up!
The solution for the skinnier arms is to roll
the short sleeves up for a tighter fit.

| Debenhams's Manteray shirt |
Here the model in the Debenhams Manteray
shirt has rolled up his sleeves giving a closer fit around his arms. The actual
design – yellow horizontal stripes and buttoned chest pocket, also gives more bulk
to the skinnier frame. Keeping cool in 55% linen and 45% cotton and the price
won’t break you out in to a sweat either at £32. www.debenhams.com

| Heatons linen shirt |
For the guys whose arms are stockier, go for
the longer length i.e. the sleeves which end nearer to the elbow. Unless of
course it is all muscle and you want to show off your biceps.
Heatons rich linen shirt has longer sleeves.
Price £12 Here worn with linen rich trousers £14 and a straw panama hat £5 www.heatonssstores.com
Layering short sleeved shirts over tee shirts
and leaving open flatters most body types. For the larger guys, it tends to
slim the tummy as the open front acts as vertical lines which create the
illusion of a slimmer you. Plus the shirt is loose and so there is no straining
of the fabric around the mid section. And for the skinnier guys the extra layer
gives more bulk.
