*When is it suitable to wear French Cuffs?* What are the rules on wearing French Cuff dress shirts? Watch this video to learn more: ua-cam.com/video/2Mq3FqRLYMw/v-deo.html #FrenchCuffs #menswear
I completely agree with your point of wearing the French cuff "whenever you want". It's an expression of a gentleman's personality and unique style of himself. Another excellent video! :)
Yes, I agreed with your point, '' we can wear whenever we want '', it's a gentleman's personality. Thanks for this proper guidance about French cuff. Your all videos are very helpful for all of us.
I love my french cuff shirts, me and few other colleagues at work wear them. They add a bit of flair to the everyday wardrobe. Only caveat I've experienced is that If you do a lot of drawing/handwriting on a desk, sometimes the cuff gets in the way, but its not often.
They definitely look more sophisticated and polished. My Dad had his suits and shirts made and always looked so sharp as a scientist to 14 countries and diplomat. He had an exceptional collecition of cufflinks. All types of stones set in yellow or white gold. He even had real pearls for the buttons on his tuxedo shirt and cuffs. My former husband wore french cuffs and they always looked wonderful. It is nice to see a man take pride and time.
I only wear French cuff, except if the situation is very informal and I know I'll be rolling up my sleeves. Like tonight, I wore barrel cuff, as I was working with my hands for most of the day.
I have worn French Cuffs since 6th grade (believe it or not!). Van Heusen back then produced a high quality boys dress shirt and when I was in school, it was required that you wear slacks as well as a dress shirt. Ties (in my case-bows) were optional but you could wear them. The French Cuff has remained my choice of cuff for a long time. When I could not them in colors, I went with tux shirts so dressing well always came together nicely. French Cuffs and bow ties? Killer look!
Another thing to consider: French cuff is actually the most versatile; you can wear it in either traditional kissing-cuff or barrel-cuff. Either looks great and, the best part, no need to have separate French and barrel cuffed shirts.
Here's a tip - if you have convertible cuffs you can even fold back the cuff and link it for a sort of pulled back sleeve if you need to do some work or need space for a watch.
Yeah you are right ! i wear french cuffs all the time. i think one can express himself and experiment with the cuff links. and actually these cuff links can be dressed up and dressed down. ALSO A GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER ! ;)
I get it. Nice explanation and reasoning. My question is why aren’t you wearing one in this video. You should have shot this clip with a French cuff shirt on - that way you can demonstrate how a French cuff shirt is worn with cuff links and sort of things. My other question is that some of my shirts’ French cuffs are a bit loose. Is that something normal? They look a bit odd when I wear them under a suit jacket.
Yes, you can wear them when you are only wearing a shirt - guess I should have been more clear. A tie is not a requirement - the only restriction is function (such as wearing it with a full sweater or in an environment where you might want to roll your sleeves - then no.
I guess the question demanding some more helpful answers would be "with what are French cuffs appropriate?" I would assume suits and sport jackets are a given, but what about times when the shirt is all you're wearing? Is a tie in any way a requirement for French cuffs?
Formality all depends on context. Where I live, suit and tie is FORMAL, and black/white tie is costume. California's definition of a "formal evening wedding" still apparently includes the option for khakis and a short sleeve button-up shirt. "Casual weddings" will get some jeans-and-tshirt people. Personally I wear slacks and a dress shirt to a casual wedding, but I'm already a bit out of place dressing that nicely.
All my dress shirts are french cuff, and I have no problem with rolling the sleeves. In fact, they form a more defined "ring" of material near my elbow. Then again, the shirts I buy have cuffs that are the same depth as a barrel cuff. I also use Antonio's style of a suit or sportcoat w/french cuff shirt, but no tie, first button undone. If the shirt has enough starch (and good collar stays), the collar will stay standing without sliding under the jacket. Professional, but not too formal.
Hi I just have a quick question, can you wear a French cuff shirt without or without cuff links with a sweater? I just want hear what someone else thinks about this maybe before I try or dont try this... Thanks- Kale
Hey Antonio! I just wanted to ask you a question pertaining specifically about french cuff dress shirts. Would it be acceptable to wear a french cuff dress shirt with suspenders? And speaking of suspenders, could you wear suspenders with a french cuff shirt? +Real Men Real Style
I agree. I forgot to differentiate traditional vs modern in before I hit "Post". I also agree that 21st century style is sad. I once got asked what I was dressed up for when I was in a t-shirt and well-fitting dark blue jeans =\
First of all, a man should wear a French Cuff shirt when making a video for French Cuff shirts. :) I wear French Cuffs everyday. I own only one button cutf. As for swearters, roll the sweater back to accentuate the link. As for rolling up cuffs, if one must do this, undo one link and roll them up. And thank you for quoting me.
great answer..except it's wrong, I believe..In business circles ,they have a certain protocol and it should be followed so as not to look, wrong, silly,etc.. just my thought,,.as i'm old and retired.I go with what you say.. best wishes Bill
I disagree with the idea that French cuffs aren't good for rolling up... I only own one French cuffed shirt, but because of the way it's fashioned, a rolled up French cuff presents an extremely crisp and good-looking line.
+Daniel Hopkins Well, you gotta button up the opening of the arm somehow. Usually, shirts with french cuffs come with those little knots you can use as cufflinks. Aside from that, there are literally 10$ cufflinks you can buy. Also don't forget to check ebay.
Anthonio...I love the French cuff style but is so hard to find some nice shirts but the Donald Trump collection. any suggestion about where to buy some with more styles where I don't look like him? lol!

TheyRiseBand Interesting!
90 PERCENT OF MY SHIRTS HAVE FRENCH CUFFS. I FIND THEM ELEGANT AND UNIQUE. YOU ALWAYS LOOK SHARP AND A BIT DIFFERENT THAN EVERY OTHER GUY.
What he said but not all caps. Calm down homie
I totally agree! When are cuffs appropriate?
Here's a tip - if you have convertible cuffs you can even fold back the cuff and link it for a sort of pulled back sleeve if you need to do some work or need space for a watch.
Yeah you are right ! i wear french cuffs all the time. i think one can express himself and experiment with the cuff links. and actually these cuff links can be dressed up and dressed down. ALSO A GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER ! ;)
Thanks for the solid explanation!
Good to hear!
I wear a silver pair of cufflinks. I only wear them when it's a formal event. Not casual. Great video thanks God bless.
I get it. Nice explanation and reasoning. My question is why aren’t you wearing one in this video.

Real Men Real Style Thanks for the video. Would you wear them with smart jeans and would you ever pair a white French cuff shirt with smart jeans?
Well thank you for the contribution to the site sir - and since it's Halloween here in the USA maybe I should wear a costume when I film today:)
Gentleman's Gazette
I believe he's referring to black tie and white tie occasions which are fairly formal, white being the most formal. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Timberland - I guess I'll have to make a video about this:)

Nope - you got it!
You look so innocent in these old videos

The real question is, Antonio, where did you get that sweet pull-over? Is that another one-of-a-kind custom? Looks good!
Sounds like a plan.
nice sweater you are wearing. who made it?
All my dress shirts are french cuff, and I have no problem with rolling the sleeves. In fact, they form a more defined "ring" of material near my elbow. Then again, the shirts I buy have cuffs that are the same depth as a barrel cuff.

EXCELLENT point sir!

I think Hugo Boss makes some quality cufflinks, They're quite expensive, but worth it.
Ages - wow - I need to get going on getting these vids out quicker!
I have 3 pairs of antique cuff links but I can't find a shirt with French cuffs that fit :(
Where can I purchase french cuff shirts for a reasonable price?
Charles Tyrwhitt
I did this on purpose to mess with your mind!
Well since I have a huge square gold onyx ring I think getting a square gold onyx cufflink would complement it very much.
Can you wear cuff links without wearing a tie?
Huymy Nguyen absolutely.
i heard you cant use french cuffs without a tie..
I disagree with the idea that French cuffs aren't good for rolling up... I only own one French cuffed shirt, but because of the way it's fashioned, a rolled up French cuff presents an extremely crisp and good-looking line.
denison boston makes nice cufflinks
I'm wearing it every single time and is getting rid all my button cuff shirts.
I will say never unless you are the big boss.
I can wear it whenever I want.
I feel I want to get a shirt to wear cuffs with, but I don't have either of the two
it sounds like roman style when he says it
what you don't have cufflinks and you just want wear a french cuff shirt?
+Daniel Hopkins Well, you gotta button up the opening of the arm somehow. Usually, shirts with french cuffs come with those little knots you can use as cufflinks. Aside from that, there are literally 10$ cufflinks you can buy. Also don't forget to check ebay.
Our newest elected President Donald Trump always wears French cuff shirts
There were some photos of Trump on the phone with Putin wearing a shirt with standard cuffs
Yeah, Freanch cuffs all the time : )
Anywhere anytime like Archieluxury 💪🏽
Anthonio...I love the French cuff style but is so hard to find some nice shirts but the Donald Trump collection.
any suggestion about where to buy some with more styles where I don't look like him? lol!
Jahnny Acosta if you can afford it, Brooks Brothers and Robert Talbott make some amazing french cuff shirts!
I just bought a new Donald Trump Signature dress shirt with French cuffs.
Why do you think it's demanding that you use profanity (the f-word)?
