shirtsleeved
Without a jacket
Shirtsleeved describes someone wearing a shirt without a jacket or coat, with sleeves exposed: shirtsleeved workers on a hot afternoon.
The image suggests informality or practical work—rolling up one's sleeves rather than maintaining formal dress.
He appeared shirtsleeved at the press conference, projecting a man-of-the-people image.
