Shirt or blouse with half or three-quarter shirt sleeves

7 replies

I have a couple of linen and cotton mix shirts which have shirt sleeves which end an inch or so below the elbow. Sort of like half length or 3/4 length shirt sleeves. I find them really handy as it saves having to roll normal long sleeves up (and is therefore cooler when hot). Not to be confused with a short-sleeved shirt with sleeves like a short-sleeved tshirt.

I would love a few more but can't find any this year! Loads of blouses with puffy 3/4 sleeves which are nice but I want something more classic. Not overly fussed on fabric, although the linen blend one I have is the best. Can anyone help?

I logged onto John Lewis and went to shirts/tops, entered 3/4 and elbow length sleeves and there are over 400 hits.

I have this one. But the sleeves end just before the elbow. It is actually an off-white or ecru though rather than a pure white.

Thank you all! Sorry to be fussy, but the first set of links are too fitted, I'm after something a bit more casual than work wear. And definitely must be past the elbow...

mdinbc I get 60 odd at most hits from John Lewis and most of them are puffy sleeve blouses, or super oversized or clearance and only avail in XL (and yes, I put in 3/4 sleeve and shirt in the filters... but maybe I'm doing it wrong!).

I found like you all the casual ones had puffy floaty sleeves. I’ll have another look. That was an early hours search.
