You can cinch a button up shirt by tying the bottom ends together at the waist or gathering the fabric and tucking it into your waistband.

Creating more shape through the middle while still keeping the relaxed look of the shirt, it works especially well with high waisted jeans, skirts or shorts.

The Classic Roll (Basic & Casual)
Best for casual, lightweight shirts or when you want a relaxed look.

1. Unbutton the cuff and any sleeve placket buttons.
2. Flip the cuff inside out and fold it back once using the cuff seam as your guide.
3. Fold the sleeve back again a second and third time, keeping each fold even, until the roll rests just below or slightly above your elbow.

The Master Roll (Italian Roll)
Best for keeping the sleeve securely in place all day without slipping or bunching up.

1. Unbutton the cuff and sleeve placket.
2. Pull the cuff inside out all the way up your arm until it sits just below your elbow (about two full cuff widths up).
3. Take the bottom folded fabric of the sleeve and fold it upward, covering the lower part of the cuff while leaving the top tip of the cuff exposed.
4. Adjust the exposed top cuff for a clean contrast.

The High Forearm Roll (Functional Work Roll)
Best for heavy cotton or flannel shirts when you need your forearms completely clear.

1. Unbutton the cuff and placket.
2. Fold the cuff inside out once.
3. Continue folding the sleeve upward in clean, full cuff increments until the entire cuff rests securely above your elbow on your lower bicep.

Cropping a button up shirt to achieve a modern boxy silhouette comes down to choosing between a permanent edit or a temporary styling adjustment.

Searching a raw, relaxed hem? Put the shirt on to mark your waistline, lay it flat, and make a clean, straight cut across the front and back using fabric shears, leaving it as is for a natural fray after washing.

For a crisp, tailored finish that looks factory made, follow the same marking process but add a one inch hem allowance below your line, then fold the raw edge upward twice by half an inch, press it flat with an iron, and stitch close to the inner fold.

If you are working with a delicate or collectible piece and want to avoid cutting the fabric entirely, you can create a non permanent crop by gathering excess fabric with a small elastic band and tucking it inward, or by fastening a slim belt over the shirt and pulling the fabric up to drape cleanly over the strap.

Vintage button up shirts are pre loved collared shirts from past decades, usually dating from the 80s through to the early 2000s. What makes them interesting is the character you get from older patterns, branding, colours and details that can be harder to come across today.

They can range from plaid flannels and pinstripes to graphic prints and college inspired designs. Brands like Ralph Lauren, Billabong, Quiksilver and Oakley all brought their own take to the button up shirt over the years.

Today, vintage button up shirts in Australia are a total staple for building layered outfits. You can wear one open over a t shirt for an effortless, casual look, or button it up with jeans or trousers for a cleaner, more refined style.
