For someone who wears dress shirts all the time, I can tell you that folding the cuffs is an art form — rolling the sleeves with a deliberate casualness look to it.
The Italians call this Sprezzatura – the art of concealing the pains it took to perfect something.
I came across this article from whowhatwear.com and I loved it!
I wish J. Crew would open in Manila.

Of the many things J.Crew does phenomenally well–costume jewelry, collaborations with heritage brands, and imaginative prints–the coolly casual way the brand’s looks are styled are at the top of the list. We’re always inspired by the effortlessness of the partially tucked-in tees, strategic layering, and cool accessorizing. So, when we heard a rumor that there was an actual formula for executing the catalog’s flawlessly cuffed sleeves, we had to know more. Luckily, their head women’s stylist Gayle Spannaus was happy to share all of the details. Click through our slideshow, and follow Spannaus’ step-by-step cuff instructions with the Keeper Chambray Shirt ($78) to perfect the look at home–before you know it, you’ll be on a roll!
This style can apply for both men and women.
Paying attention to small details like rolling your sleeves can do wonders!
