Short sleeved shirts on men remind me of my dad 
Sleeveless on women, all year round if they want (which I do, because my office always has the heating way too high). |

I am "that" person in the office who is always cold, so short sleeves and sleeveless in the height of summer only for me. I'm not selfish though and know it's harder to cool down than keep warm in a shared space, so always have a spare cardigan and jacket on my chair. My heating at home is currently on nearly thirty five degrees 
An old boss told one of my male colleagues off for wearing a short sleeved shirt. Told the young guy that he looked like a photocopier repairman, as they are the only men who wear such shirts for work 
I politely told my boss he was being a dick and said to the guy he should wear whatever he likes. |

"Short sleeved shirts on men - yes or no?
Sleeveless on women in the winter - yay or nay?
I tried Short sleeves for work but decided I looked like a photo copier salesman so quickly stopped"
That's the descriptor I couldn't quite find. Perfect.

As for women, nice arms should be shown off
Saggy or fat arms are best covered up
Same with guys really
Hence why I never wear muscle cut short sleeve shirts cos my arms are only good from the elbow down |

Over the years I've grown more conscious of the top part of my arms, or bingo wings as my friend calls them. |

I'm fat so the tops of my arms look like fatty legs of lamb. |

That's just how I am
I've got naturally big forearms
Because I've never had a manual job and never seen the inside of a gym the top part of my arms aren't toned and with increasing years are not as tight as they used to be
So I wear clothes in a manner that suit my build / body
As for friends, they can be cruel |

I have fat upper arms and KP on them so when I do wear sleeveless I always get comments from people asking if I have sunburn. As a result I wear a lot of shrugs and cardigans. Unless it's really warm; then I just put up with the comments. |

Keratosis pilaris. Really common skin condition caused by over production of keratin. Most people grow out of it; I didn't. But luckily it's only really the top bit of my arms that are affected. It flares up on occasion, is worse in the winter and since my skin is so naturally pale it shows up. |

In my old workplace I used to wear long sleeved shirts but the sleeves were always rolled up.
I'd be on the phone with a pen in my mouth my boss would open my door:
BOSS: Looking good Ben
ME: Phone in one hand to my head ...**Sticks middle finger up**...with the other.
Then he just used to walk off and deliberately leave my door open...(Which I hated)
He was a GREAT boss though. The BEST and I miss that place.
I'm almost tempted to go back sometimes. |

Just wear long sleeved shirts and roll the sleeves up to achieve that short sleeved look without looking like a dodgy Uncle. |

"What about a mens nice fitted short sleeved shirt showing off some big tattoo'd guns and forearms?"
Nope. You'll just look like an old bloke trying to look like a teenager, and women won't take you seriously.
There is no excuse for short sleeved shirts once you hit 20. |

Unless you work in a too-warm office, in which case fuck what we think and wear what you want. |

NO I'm not . I get turned on seeing his arms bulging in a short sleeve but I have a thing for them as I can see it in his long sleeves as well when he's straining against the fabric . |

It's no different to women getting there legs out
I don't buy shirts long or short sleeved with the idea of showing anything off. I buy them because they are nice shirts |

Depends on the man and the shirt. I have a friend who looks drop dead delicious in his short sleeved shirts!
But then he look drop dead delicious in everything.
I wear vests and cardigans all year round. I have fat arms but I believe my comfort is more important than a strangers opinion on how I look.
I can't stand over heating.

I've never seen one look good on a man with big arms, the ones I've seen always look a bit Ricky Martin. |

Short sleeves are for tee's and polos, a button down shirt should be long sleeved with sleeves rolled up if warm to my mind, otherwise it looks like being made to wear school uniform in my mind |

I don't even own a long sleeve shirt. When the new company uniform was being sorted, I insisted on short sleeves.
Wearing top and tails as best man, my cuffs were not connected to my shirt!
As a civy at a veterans' funeral, it was short sleeves under the suit and Crombie. He would have understood.
As you can probably guess, I don't do long |

The cuff on a shirt should protrude beyond the suit jacket. |

I've short sleeve shirts that I wear for work during the summer or in hot climates. I also have some different ones I wear on holiday. Frankly I like them and don't give a monkeys what anyone else thinks. I have some great long sleeved ones too that look good cuffed or rolled up. Again, I wear what I like and don't give any sway to the views of others except those whose views matter to me, and even then I reserve the right to completely ignore them. |

As for women they can wear whatever they like, whenever they like as long as they enjoy wearing it and feel comfortable in it. Does that mean I always like the look - no - but they aren't doing it to please me so meh |

Short sleeves on a muscled, possibly tattooed bicep...drool...otherwise no, no, no!
I'm constantly wrapped up outside the house as I'm always cold. In the office it's long sleeves, cardigan and hot water bottle |
