I scrunch my shirts&nbsp;like #1.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you might prefer a more streamlined version of #2.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 looks great, but only works with very tapered blazer sleeves. My Theory blazers achieve this look because of the way they fit on the forearm. Less adjusting.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-sleeve-rolling-tips#post-1386332 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 23:49:47 +0000 sarah 1386332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie,</p> <p>For shirt sleeves, I often sort of roll (like you, I think), similar to #1, or I do the or the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.refinery29.com/2014/09/74178/the-chatroom-man-repeller-jenna-lyons-video">Jenna Roll</a> that others have linked to.</p> <p>For jackets, I sometimes do a small roll, once at the cuff, to try to achieve a look like #2, but I think it just ends up being frumpy.</p> <p>When I try to scrunch like #3, things just end up sort of in a disastrous&nbsp;constantly adjusting mess. But perhaps I just need to resign myself to constant adjustments! Or I need to hire a JCrew stylist to trail me around ; )</p> <p>Anyways, thanks for weighing in.</p> <p>-Sarah</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-sleeve-rolling-tips#post-1386314 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 23:37:22 +0000 Angie 1386314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sarah. Nice to see you again. I miss you on the forum.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Do you roll or scrunch sleeves? I never roll - only scrunch. When do you roll?&nbsp;</p> <p>2. This depends on how maximal you want the outfit to be. Rolling creates an additional texture and outfit feature - especially with contrast lining. Unrolled sleeves are simpler and more minimal. I'm a scruncher because I don't fancy the maximal look of a rolled sleeve. Furthermore, I never turn back the cuff of a shirt sleeve over a blazer sleeve. To my eye that <i>can</i> look frumpy, but others will disagree with the perception. It's a personal thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>I leave all my jacket sleeves&nbsp;un-scrunched round about now till Spring time. Too cold.&nbsp;I aways pull up the sleeves of my pullover when I'm inside though (sans jacket).&nbsp;</p> <p>3. Adjustment throughout the day&nbsp;is an unfortunate thing, but I see no way around it unless the sleeves of your blazer are snug enough to stay put.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope that helps. xo&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-sleeve-rolling-tips#post-1386256 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 22:08:40 +0000 sarah 1386256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've become rather confused lately about sleeve rolling:</p> <p>1) how to roll shirt sleeves. I'm least confused about this.<br />2) how/whether to roll vs. scrunch&nbsp;blazer sleeves.<br />3) how to deal with shirt sleeves under blazer sleeves, especially under scrunched blazer sleeves. I'm most confused about this - I feel like I'm constantly adjusting my shirt sleeves to sort of "peek" out of a scrunched sleeve, and it's a bit of a pain.</p> <p>thanks! </p>
