Sleeves are too short
Standing straight up, with your arms relaxed along your sides, the sleeves of the shirt are not reaching the large wrist bone.
A good sleeve length can be calculated like this:
With your arms hanging relaxed at your sides and the cuffs of the shirt unbuttoned, the sleeves should come down around 1cm before the first knuckle of your thumb.
This may seem too long to some people, but you also have to make sure that you pair it with cuffs sized appropriately to your wrists. This because when the cuffs are buttoned they will prevent the cuff from sliding too far over your hand.
The extra length on the sleeves will then allow you to bend and raise your arms without the cuff sliding up too much over your forearm.
