To retain gathered sleeve material of a shirt at a shoulder position of the wearer, a sleeve material retaining loop is attached to or looped around a strap of a brassiere. One end of the material-retaining loop extends out of the neck hole of the outer garment, and another end of the sleeve material retaining loop extends out of the arm hole of the sleeve at a position located above the shoulder of the wearer. The first and second ends of the sleeve material retaining loop are then attached at the shoulder of the wearer to maintain the sleeve in a bunched condition. By this mechanism, the sleeves are removed from interfering with the arm movement of the wearer and a greater amount of skin area is exposed for evaporative cooling of the wearer.
