If you can feel a breeze on your wrist bones, then your sleeve length is too short. The cuff of the shirt should be seen past your blazer. That’s what layering is all about.

If you go to check the time and push your sleeve up, the sleeve of your shirt is too long. A long sleeve may also cause the fabric to bunch at the end of the cuff. Unless you are commandeering a pirate ship, this is a dress shirt mistake.

Remember: The cuff should hit right at the base of the thumb.
