I love a cap sleeve, 3/4 length sleeve, long sleeve and elbow length sleeve.  Not a fan of total sleeveless on me.

@lulu2  The thing about gingham - they have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

I like elbow length sleeves but, as others have mentioned, they need to be done right. I rarely see them in stores or online. I am not desperate to add them to my wardrobe but, I do think they'd make a nice addition.

I love 3/4 sleeves, elbow sleeves, and long sleeves.

 

I am not and never have been a fan of short sleeves or sleeveless.

 

I guess it's because of where I live...a very temperate climate where our average summer temps are upper 60s to low 70s.

The arm above my elbow is not that attractive so I love elbow length.

Yes, I like them, but they have to be straight and slim cut (like the pink top above) or else it just looks sloppy. If they are cut right, they look dressier and sharper than a regular tee shirt sleeve IMO.


@SaRina

Exactly what I was going to post! I just bought an elbow sleeve top with slim fitted arms - like that look! I do not want loose or wide elbow sleeves.

Another vote for the close-fitting elbow-length sleeve. Very feminine! My favorite length sleeve, as long as it's fitted.
