Re: 3/4 SLEEVES OR LONG SLEEVES

Never buy 3/4 looks frumpy on me. I like long sleeves or short.

Re: 3/4 SLEEVES OR LONG SLEEVES

There is a time and place for all sleeve lengths. In the summer, I live in tank tops. In the winter, I'm in long sleeve sweaters. In between I'll do 3/4, short, long, whatever. I'm not that picky about it. I'm more concerned with the practicality of it than the look.

Re: 3/4 SLEEVES OR LONG SLEEVES

I wear and like both. However, I do not like 3/4 sleeves on a woven button down shirt. IMO this makes the shirt look like it is too small or shrunk.

Re: 3/4 SLEEVES OR LONG SLEEVES

My choice would be 3/4 sleeves.  I am petite and long sleeves are always too long for me.  If it is a regular long sleeve, I can wear them and push up or fold over depending on the underside.

 

Also prefer 3/4 sleeves because I love my bracelets and always have at least two on and I want to be able to see them!

 

The current trend is for sleeves with some decorative feature; i.e. bell sleeves, chiffon split sleeves, etc. that cannot be "pushed up", so they are out for me - too long.  I like a such a sleeve, but it has to be bracelet length.

Re: 3/4 SLEEVES OR LONG SLEEVES

I have shorter arms as I'm short waisted but I'm not short in stature, I'm average height, so I prefer 3/4 sleeves. I don't know why some clothing manufacturers make their sleeves so long so that your total hand is covered.

Re: 3/4 SLEEVES OR LONG SLEEVES

I prefer long sleeves, since I wear long sleeves mainly in the winter, I want long sleeves since I am usually cold. I am also petite, but the long sleeves work for me.

I want & own both.  A lot of long sleeves are too long for me and I live in a warm climate so I get more wear out of 3/4 length ones.

I prefer long sleeves. (elbow sleeves, short sleeves, or sleeveless in the warm or hot months).

 

I am petite and have skinny arms, 3/4 sleeves stick out on an odd place on my arm and it doesnt look good on me at all.
