Raglan sleeves seam diagonally from neck to underarm, the sporty classic. Athletic and casual, the seam adds comfortable mobility.
The diagonal seam flatters shoulders with a sporty line, suiting active styling on every figure. It is comfortable and unfussy. The seam allows great arm movement.
Wear for sporty-casual days with denim or joggers. Contrast-color raglans nod vintage baseball. It is comfort dressing with classic roots.
When buying by sleeve, check the armhole fit first: it should allow movement without gaping or binding. Consider your daily life — dramatic sleeves and desk work rarely mix. Feel the cuff finishing; clean cuffs signal quality. Try the shirt with the layers you will wear over it to ensure sleeves fit under jackets. The right sleeve balances your proportions and suits your routine.
