Styles of Shirt Cuffs That Can Be Worn With Cufflinks Canada

There will be nothing to show off in a firm handshake or a fancy watch when your shirt’s cuff is sloppy. Though often overlooked, the cuff is essential in defining your dapper style. A shirt’s cuff is the part that encloses your wrist as an additional fabric sewn onto the sleeve. You can fasten it with studs, buttons, or cufflinks Canada. However, not all cuff styles can be fastened with cufflinks. Here are the cuff styles on which you can use cufflinks.

 

Single cuff

 

Shirts with single cuffs are often worn for white tie events. When fastened, a single cuff resembles a barrel, but unlike the barrel cuff, it does not fold back onto itself. Single-cuffed shirts are extremely rare and usually only used on wing collar shorts.

 

French cuffs

 

These are also called double cuffs. A French cuff is structurally longer than a barrel cuff, stiff to maintain its form, and has no closure buttons hence the need for cufflinks Canada to hold it in place. You simply fold your cuff over itself for a layering effect, then align the buttonholes before fastening it with a cufflink. French cuffs are perfect for business settings and swanky events. The unwritten rule is that a tuxedo is always paired with a shirt with French cuffs.

 

Convertible cuffs

 

These are highly versatile, thus their rising popularity. You can tie convertible cuffs with buttons like you would a barrel cuff or use cufflinks Canada as with French cuffs. Unlike the French cuff, a convertible cuff has one layer shaped like a barrel with an extra buttonhole through which you can thread your cufflink.

 

You can pick the right shirt for your cufflinks now with the above information. Besides the right cuff, pay attention to the cuff’s fit. If you can pass your hand through the cuff without unbuttoning, it is too big, whereas if the cuff crinkles on buttoning, this is too small.
