Ensure that all of the buttons on your shirt cuffs are undone, including the one part way up the sleeve, giving you plenty of fabric to work with.

Step 2: Fold the cuff back

Take hold of the crease that's now at the end of your sleeve and pull this up towards the elbow as well, folding it neatly over the cuff.

Tidy up any creases in the fabric and ensure that the cuff sits right where you want it to on the arm. If the inside of your shirt's cuff has a contrasting pattern, pull it out slightly to add a flash of contrast to the look.
