    Short sleeves and ties are generally considered to be inappropriate.
    Some folks even consider short sleeves and ties to be rather redneck. Considering the fact that my neck is about as red as they get, I go against the grain, I generally wear long sleeves, and always with ties.

    My theory has always been you can always roll up long sleeves, but you can't roll down short sleeves.

    Same goes for jackets, you can always remove the jacket if you get hot, but if you don't have it, all you can do is shiver if you get cold, or look like a hick if things are formal.

    For what it's worth, I'm putting in my vote for the long sleeves as well.

    I hate hate hate short sleeved button-up shirts. And the thought of wearing one with a jacket makes me cringe. With a jacket you're supposed to have a bit of shirt cuff showing at the sleeve. How else would anyone see your cufflinks?

    Am I the only one struck by the fact that we are a bunch of men, trading fashion tips?

    May my wife never find this site.

    Although our opinions of 'formal' and 'informal' differ on either side of the pond, I would certainly go with the others and recommend long sleeves.

    The thought of attending a wedding sans jacket is almost more than my system can take, but I know that's the sort of thing you guys do over there!!

    Comfort is important, but so also is the show of respect you have for your hosts and those around you. We cannot, nor should not, put our own comfort above all else, at least not under such circumstances.

    Whatever; enjoy that wedding.

    I'd go w/ long sleeves if that's what I thought everybody else would be wearing. And I wouldn't roll them up unless I needed to do something that would get my hands dirty. To me, rolled up sleeves look like you're working and are less dressy than short sleeves. Or at least less relaxed, which is what you should be at an outdoor occasion, most of which are more casual than indoor occasions. Rolling up your sleeves makes it looks like you're in the middle of fixing something. I don't think rolling them up makes me significantly cooler, and keeping them down will keep the sun off my skin. Just another perspective.
