Playing with the fold, tuck or tie.
Step One:
Start with an open shirt, take one arm out fold the collar underneath your underarm and do up one button.
Step Two:
Leave the next button undone, and do up the other buttons running down the shirt.
Step Three:
In the hole you left with the button that's not done up pull the hanging sleeve through and tuck into your pants or skirt.
Alternatively you could do up the second button you originally left open, undo the bottom few buttons at the bottom to tie the hanging sleeve with as a knot.
