French cuff shirts
A shirt with French cuffs is a must if you want to wear cufflinks. What's so special about it? Its long sleeves and lack of buttons.
Double-cuff shirts for men
The double-cuff shirt in a few words
The double-cuff shirt features cuffs that differ from single cuffs, which fasten with standard buttons. Double cuffs are rather stiff folded cuffs that fasten with cufflinks inserted through the stitched buttonholes. The fold (or flap) adds volume to the cuffs and a certain distinguished presence.
This type of cuff is designed to extend slightly beyond the sleeve of the jacket so as to reveal the chosen cufflinks without being too ostentatious. You can thus let your personality shine through with subtlety and understated elegance.
Opt for this type of shirt for special occasions: when you need to look even more elegant than with a classic shirt. You will then need to choose the collar and fabric of your shirt: a classic Italian collar, an elegant English collar with comfortable poplin, or an oxford that will add texture to the shirt.
Our tips for wearing the double-cuff shirt well
The double-cuff shirt is very versatile. It will be perfect for a formal occasion, such as a ceremony, or in a professional setting to add a touch of elegance to a business outfit.
More formal than a single-cuff shirt, the double-cuff shirt is perfect for a tuxedo or three-piece suit and will ideally be paired with a bow tie or a tie. And of course cufflinks depending on your mood and the occasion.
Cufflinks come in styles suited to absolutely every occasion. They can take any shape: square, round, rectangular. Made from wood, solid silver, or precious stones, they allow you to showcase your sense of style and personal interests depending on the theme you choose: your profession, your hobby, a place you love, or even the names of your children or a date, thanks to personalised cufflinks.
