Nothing up my sleeves?

By all means roll up your sleeves for comfort or fashion, but if you're a boss or a leader, you could end up looking fake.

    IN spring, a young - or older - man's fancy turns to rolling up his sleeves.

    Fashion etiquette makes it acceptable to roll them just below the elbow for added ventilation or above the elbow when faced with manual labour.

    For some of us, skin sensitivity issues play a role. I'm still recovering from the day my mother accidentally tossed one of my favourite long-sleeve shirts into a washing machine with some drapes. Neither of us realised it, but my shirt became flecked with fibreglass, making me itch all day in school, and part of me was scarred for life, if not literally.
