short-sleeved

Truncated arm coverage

Short-sleeved describes a garment with sleeves that end above the elbow, typically at or near the mid-upper arm: a short-sleeved shirt, short-sleeved polo.

The term distinguishes such clothing from long-sleeved alternatives, particularly for dress codes or weather considerations: Short-sleeved dress shirts are acceptable in summer.
