I wear long sleeve, pinpoint cotton, dress shirts year round. Fortunately I don't have sweaty armpits. I prefer a starched shirt over a non-iron shirt.
Short sleeve dress shirts look weird and dated. I prefer the rolled sleeve look as well.
This, especially if you have to wear a tie. Short sleeve dress shirts are a ridiculous look, IMHO. Also, when it's above 90 degrees, you are hot no matter what, short sleeve, long sleeve, no shirt, it doesn't matter.
My coworkers all wear short sleeve shirts, just like me. Its perfectly acceptable business casual attire. If women don't like it, thats their problem. But it isn't against the dress code unless you have an important meeting to attend or presentation to give that day.
Short-sleeved business casual polos, or short-sleeved button up dress shirts?
I read somewhere, years ago, that wearing short sleeve shirt make you look like a slacker and it's much better to simply roll up your sleeves because it makes you look like a hard worker.
My HS history teacher always wore a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, tennis shoes, and a watch. He said it was so he always looked like he was working hard and getting things done before deadlines.
....................long story short, there are those of us who wear long sleeves in all weather because of sun protection and protection against the bush. I often wear my long sleeves down but cuffs undone for sun protection. If I have to walk through brush, then I will probably have the cuffs button and between my clothes from feet to neck and my brush hat, it isn't a problem.
If I'm place where I am not worrying about either, then I may roll my sleeves up for the temperature.
Go to New Orleans. Trust me. You'll wear a short sleeve with a tie. Fast. It's hot as hell down there.
