You long sleeve shirt comes with a cuff, using the cuff as a guide, fold one up to totally bend the cuff, then fold up again, like folding A4 paper to make a rectangle.It also depends one whether your shirt has a ig enough opening to fold up a thick arm. Commercially purchased shirts dont have enough clearance at the cuffs side to allow folding up the sleeve to beyond a thick arm.

wear short sleeve instead
-
Worse come to worse, seek a pretty friend, classmate or work mate and have her roll up your sleeve for you.

[edit]Steps
- Unbutton the cuffs and any smaller buttons that go up the sleeve.
- Hold one of the unbuttoned sleeves in front of you by the cuff. The shirt should be hanging loosely.
- Hold the cuff so that it is spread open, with the opening facing you.
- Fold the cuff outwards into a third. Do this like you're folding it in half, but only do it at the one third mark. This will leave one third of the cuff folded, and two thirds remaining.
- Fold the cuff again, so the remaining two thirds make up the roll on the sleeve.
- Repeat 5. until you reach the desired length for the sleeve. At each fold stop and stretch out the roll, making sure that the sleeve is not bunching up and that it's all even.
- Follow same process for the other sleeve.
[edit]Tips
- Hold the two rolled up parts of the sleeve together to make sure they are the same size and thickness.
- You can check that both sleeves are the same length by holding them together, and checking if the shoulder seams line up.
- It's best to do this the night before you need to wear the shirt, as rolling up the sleeves when you're in a rush may result in shabby and uneven look.
- Stiffer shirts are easier to roll the sleeves on. Silkier or softer shirts may take a few tries.
- Ironing/pressing the shirt before rolling up the sleeves is easier than ironing after. Make sure you iron the sleeves even if you're going to roll them.
- Vary the size of the initial fold on the cuff for a thicker/thinner roll. Some shirts have bigger cuffs than others so you may have to use trial and error to get the size of the roll you want.
[edit]Warnings
- French cuff (or double cuff) shirts may give you more trouble and rolling up the cuffs may permanently crease them. These kinds of shirts are generally considered more formal than the average dress shirt. So think twice before you fold the cuffs.

haha you could try folding it up before you wear the shirt. I used to do that when I didn't know how to do it properly. Hope that helps
