WHAT ARE FRENCH CUFF SHIRTS?
French cuffs are versatile. They can be dressed up for the formal occasion or worn as a touch of class in the workplace. Also known as "double cuffs," French cuffs are twice as long as conventional button cuffs and are folded back over themselves, creating a double layered cuff that is fastened with a cufflink. In other words, French cuff shirts are button-up shirts with fancier, button-less cuffs, with the intention to use cufflinks to keep the cuff closed. French cuff shirts also typically include a French placket, which differs from your standard button-up in the way the fabric is folded around the buttons on the front of the shirt. The French placket offers a cleaner and a bit dressier look, since the fabric is folded inwards and no stitching is visible from the front.
The French cuffs are meant to extend beyond the sleeve of a jacket just enough to be prominent–and show off your cufflinks–while refraining from being too drawn-out. Unlike traditional button or barrel cuffs, which are closed by a button, French cuffs offer a bit more versatility and allow you to better express your sense of style by accessorizing with unique cufflinks. Give your French cuff shirt a personal touch by showing love for your favorite team with a pair of officially licensed sports cufflinks, superhero cufflinks or custom engraved cufflinks.
EASY TO WEAR
It is just a shirt after all…Pairing French cuff shirts with cufflinks are an excellent way to showcase your personal style. Most commonly paired with a suit, French cuff shirts can also be worn with a sweater, blazer, or sport coat, even with jeans, for a more casual look while still being able to express a little personality and style through your cuffs. The best part about French cuffs is that they can be fastened with a set of cufflinks, buttons or silk knots, giving you the perfect opportunity to personalize your look. While French cuff shirts may appear to be excessively elongated, folding over the cuffs and fastening them with a cufflink achieves a bold yet refined look.
HOW TO WEAR A FRENCH CUFF SHIRT
It’s really quite simple: fold back the cuffs and make sure the holes are aligned, then insert the cufflink backing through the holes and secure it. Slip on a nice dress jacket over your French cuff shirt and you're ready to turn heads wherever you go! Now all you need is the right fashion accessories to add an extra personalized touch to your outfit.
