Wrist Game Strong: Elevate Your Style from the Sleeves Down

What is a cuff? A cuff is the end part of a sleeve, where the material of the sleeve is flipped back. Cuffs help keep your sleeves in place and stop the shirt from sliding down your hands. Your shirt sleeve should be long enough so that the cuffs can be shown outside of your jacket.

There are many different types of cuffs available for Men's Dress Shirts:

  • Barrel Cuffs
  • Cocktail Cuffs
  • Convertible Cuffs
  • Single Cuffs
  • French Cuff
  • Rounded Cuffs
  • Angled Cuffs
  • Neapolitan Cuffs

 Apposta gives us the full rundown on the different types of shirt cuffs and when to wear them! Today we are going to discuss the two most common types of cuffs. They are the Barrel Cuff and the French Cuff.

Barrel Cuffs

These are the most common, most versatile cuffs. They usually have up to two buttons and are typically found on ready-to-wear shirts. They are appropriate to wear with most suits. They can be worn in office or business settings and you do not necessarily need a tie. Shirts with a barrel cuff can also be worn alone, without a suit.

French Cuffs

The French cuff is also very common, however, they are not as versatile as the barrel cuff. The cuffs are often secured using cufflinks, allowing you to show your style and personality. French cuff shirts are much more formal. They are appropriate to wear to events like weddings, black tie events, or higher-level business meetings.
