The French cuff shirt in a few words
The French cuff shirt has cuffs that are different from simple cuffs that close with classic buttons. French cuffs are rather rigid turn-back cuffs that close with cufflinks to be inserted into the stitched buttonholes. The turn-back (or fold) gives volume to the cuffs and a certain elegance.
This type of cuff is made so that it extends slightly from the jacket sleeve to let the chosen cufflinks show through without being too ostentatious. You can thus bring out your personality with finesse and sobriety.
Opt for this type of shirt for special occasions: when you need to be even more elegant than with a classic shirt. You will then need to determine the collar and fabric of your shirt: classic Italian collar, elegant English collar with comfortable poplin or oxford that will give texture to the shirt.
