· Start with rolling up the sleeve to about two widths of the cuff.
· Smoothen any crease or fold in the fabric.
· Now once more roll from the bottom end of the sleeve to cover the cuff, leaving only the top end of the cuff exposed.
· If the inside of the cuff has a contrasting color or design, show just a hint of it and cover the rest.
· In order to undo the fold, hold the top edge of the cuff and just pull down.
Method 2: The AIFA Roll
This is more of a casual shirt roll style in which only a third of a man’s arm is visible. This style is particularly suitable for men with short and narrow arms, as the arms look proportional to the body in this fold. It is good for a family day out when you’re in your favorite denim.
· Fold the bottom of the sleeve once, about the width of the cuff.
· Using a similar width, repeat a second time with the folded cuff.
· Avoid smoothing the fabric. The AIFA roll is supposed to look casual and effortless.

This style is suitable for men with big biceps and tattoos on their arms as the sleeves roll well above the elbows. It works best with semi-casual shirts. It’s also good if you know your day is going to revolve around a lot of manual work.
