2006-10-13
Little wonder the short-sleeved dress shirt can't get any respect. It is considered as the Dilbert or the Homer Simson of men's wear.
But when summer comes, the shirt is rolling up its invisible sleeves to get into the fashion fray.
Short-sleeved shirts are really looking cool again according to designers who see this kind of shirts as an indispensable part of a man wardrobe.
Even if you will never going to be chic in it, you can look very cool.
In the past the sleeves, shortened versions of long sleeves, were big and blousy. Nowadays, designers have trimmed the arms and cut the torso close to the body for a sharper fit.
Sleeves don't make the price of a shirt, short sleeved shirts are almost as expensive as normal shirts.
