Play up the details on your sleeves with our selection of shirts by cuff type. THE NINES draws on the expertise of rigorously selected partner workshops to offer you 3 types of cuff finishes. You will find our simple cuffs ideal for everyday wear, our Neapolitan cuffs rooted in the Italian tailoring tradition, and our French cuffs that will showcase your cufflinks at formal occasions.

The technical detail that defines the end of the sleeve

 Cuffs, along with the collar, are the visible part of the shirt when it is worn under a suit jacket or a jumper. Their aesthetic role is paramount: they finish the sleeve, frame the wrists and determine the level of formality of the piece. Whether round, square, angled, single or double, they follow precise dress codes. A well-proportioned cuff should fit snugly around the wrist without being tight, while leaving enough room to accommodate a watch.

A key indicator of the style register

The choice of cuff radically transforms the function of a shirt. A classic buttoned cuff anchors the garment in everyday, versatile use, while a French cuff immediately shifts the silhouette into a world of ceremony or high distinction. The stiffness of the cuff, achieved through more or less thick interfacing, ensures it holds its shape throughout the day and resists repeated wear.

Our style tips: how to choose your cuffs?

The choice of cuffs should align with the context in which you wear your shirt:

  • For everyday wear and the office: Favour simple buttoned cuffs (round or angled). They are practical, easy to wear and adapt to all common professional situations.
  • For major events (weddings, galas): Do not hesitate to opt for French cuffs, essential for wearing cufflinks and structuring a formal outfit.
  • For a touch of original character: Turn to rarer cuffs such as the Neapolitan cuff or the combination cuff, which reflect a genuine tailoring culture.
