If you haven't noticed by now, cuffs come in various styles. I will introduce to you the 5 most common types, starting with the fancy pantsy French Cuffs:
French Cuffs: These are good for formal occasions because the fold-up construction of the cuffs adds weight and shape to the ends of the sleeves. Cufflinks are necessary to keep the cuffs closed. Since cufflinks are essentially men's wrist bling, they make the shirt look dressy.
Cutaway Cuffs: The name says it all. The corner of the cuff is cut diagonally to create that "not-so-special-but-more-interesting-than-a-regular-cuff" style.
Rounded Double Button Cuffs: Again, the name speaks for itself. Some guys tell me they don't like this style because they find the extra button a hassle.
THE. EXTRA. BUTTON. IS. A. HASSLE.
Huh? Really?
Rounded Cuffs: These guys are as common as the lint between your toes.
Square Cuffs: If you don't know what you want for cuffs, just go with these. You can't go wrong with square cuffs.
