In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

The answer to your question is as follows:

One should wear proper clothing while praying namaz. Allah says in the Quran: O Children of Adam! Take your adornment while praying. It means one should dress up for namaz and adopt clothing that is interpreted by Islamic scholars as being in accordance with the teachings of Islam. 

Secondly, wearing a garment against its proper form is also disliked. Therefore, praying in half sleeved garment without any proper reason is Makrooh (disliked).
