Friday Style Debate: to roll your dress shirt sleeves or not?

This is no definitive rule on this matter thus it’s a subject totally open for debate and to the whims of your personal sense of style.

I’ll get the ball rolling as for me the moment your jacket comes off the sleeves must go up.  This is the case regardless as to whether you are wearing a tie or not.  A dress shirt is exactly that – and by that I mean it’s dressy and to be worn to a certain degree of formality.  The moment a jacket is removed or not worn in the first place means the formality of the situation has been lowered and hence it’s time to roll.  As such I think the guy on the right looks comical – he’s totally looking formal but lacking the most important element of the look in the jacket.  The fellow on the left however looks completely put together.

Do you agree? Disagree? Perhaps you have another theory as to what you do in certain situations?  Either way I’d love to hear your opinions on this subject matter – I look forward to hearing from you.

Let the debate begin…
