Before you buy a French cuff dress shirt online or locally, read this interesting post to know the easy tactics of rocking the french cuff shirts for men without trying too hard.

History of French Cuffs?

Many believe french cuffs came into existence when Napolean ordered long sleeves so the soldiers could easily wipe their noses using the cuffs and then fold the extra-long part back to hide it. There’s another intriguing story that says French cuffs were made to keep Napolean’s soldiers away from wiping their nose on their sleeves.

No matter how entertaining these stories may seem, none of them is true. French cuffs weren’t brought by the French - but British instead!

Your shirt cuff is the one visible part of the shirt, apart from the collar. Cuffs are categorized into three types. First in the list button cuffs or barrel cuffs. Let’s take a look at different ways to style different French cuff shirts for men.

Button or Barrel Cuffs

Button cuffs are single cuffs wrapped around the wrist and buttoned into place. This type of cuffs is generally found on all readymade shirts button or barrel cuffs have buttonholes on one side with buttons on the other. You can find a single button or multi-button cuff shirts in this variety for adjusting the fit as per your need. If you find a small button near the sleeve, it’s there to keep your wrist covered.

Link Cuffs

French cuff dress shirts with link cuffs have buttonholes on both sides of the sleeves, hence they can be closed with cufflinks, silk knots, etc rather than buttons. These cuffs are great for party wear or formal looks where every minute detail counts. Pair these with your favorite black or white slim fit dress shirt and get set to slay the upcoming special occasion like a true gentleman!

Convertible Cuffs

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
