And I guess it also depends on the length of your shirt sleeves. My generation was taght that the shirt cuff should be at the wrist bone. Today many shirts are cut so that the cuff is down to the back of the hand.
I'm in my 30s, Steve, so I'm more aware of the style you mention with 1/4 to 1/2 of shirt cuff being on show with arms at sides.

On the actual length of the shirt sleeve itself, I find the shirt cuff at wrist bone to look most smart.
