French Cuff dress shirts are a type of clothing that you can use any time though they are particularly suitable when you want that formal or ‘no – nonsense’ look. They are a favorite among business or corporate folk. This therefore calls for careful selection for the most suitable French cuff dress shirts to avoid some embarrassing moments or that ridiculous look.
French cuff dress shirts come in different sizes, colours, textures, as well as designs. When it comes to selection, the first thing you need to know is your size. This will mean taking measurement of your arm length and neck sizes. We have different size varieties depending on the type of manufacturer.
There are different fabrics from which French cuff dress shirts are made and so you will need to find one that suits you in terms of texture. Available fabrics are Linen, Silk, Cotton and Polyester. Cotton is most popular and is available in a variety of textures such as Pinpoint, Poplin, Oxford and Twill. You will be guided by the properties of the different textures to pick what is most suitable for you.
Neckties are an accessory for French cuff dress shirts and it is important that you choose one that matches what you are wearing. You will not have a problem with French cuff dress shirts that have a solid color, as these will go very well with most neckties. What you will need to be careful with are French dress shirts with checkered, plaid or strip patterns as this requires some little bit of thought to find the perfect necktie. Generally striped shirts should be worn with striped neckties bearing in mind that the strips should not be the same! The colour of your necktie needs to have at least one matching color with any other part of your clothing or accessory. The one mistake you can make when it comes to French cuff dress shirts is to have three pieces of clothing with the same pattern. You will be setting yourself for some major embarrassment by wearing a three piece patterned suit. This is a no no!
French cuff dress shirts are becoming trendier by the day, with the reserved look slowly but surely being replaced by a louder and not so formal look.
