I've tried to find good examples of the new shorter, more boxy button down with shorter sleeves. Maybe something like this (thanks, Anna!)

What is the best length of the sleeves? Where should it hit at the waist/hip? And how roomy should it be?

Any explanations and visuals at all would be most helpful. The reason I ask is that I'm trying to refashion/update a classic button down skirt.

ETA:

I've added a picture of the shirt in question. The sleeves are hemmed at elbow length right now. The fit is tailored, but not tight at all. My idea was to crop it to wear it over high waisted skirts, but then I'm not able to wear it with most of my pants.

Thank you in advance
