The cuffs tie. Rather than a button or elastic, each sleeve gathers onto a drawstring that finishes in a small bow at the wrist, which means the amount of volume in the sleeve is set by hand rather than by the pattern.
Above them the sleeves are cut full and gathered again into a raglan yoke at the back, so the fullness starts at the shoulder blade instead of the shoulder point. The satin has a low sheen rather than a hard shine, the body is cut loose, and there is no structure anywhere to hold a line.
Tucked in it looks considered. Left out it looks like you have somewhere better to be.
