Re: French cuffs on dressy casual shirts
 

I bought this one http://www.bananarepublic.com/Asset_...2-00p01v01.jpg the other day, not knowing it had french cuffs. (I was in a hurry for a shirt and just grabbed one).

I don't wear suits. Appropriate to wear this out? With Jeans? Khakis? Black pants? I only have one set of cufflinks and they are not flashy or anything. They are just metal with some industrial looking rivets in them.

stupid.

also, if banana republic think buttons and loud big stripes make for a classy shirt they are severly mistaken. i just see so many people go out wearing ugly striped shirts, ugh.

Are knots the same thing as studs (ie: used in place of buttons down the front of your shirt)?

I think a lot of how pimp it looks depends on the cuff links/knots you wear.

Silk knots are non-metal (e.g. fabric) cuff links:

thats a great example. the other thing i hate are those (eurotrash) short sleeve shirts that are really tight and skin fitting, a lot of the time the have an imprint on them thats like a paint imprint, or some other stupid graphic. they also have a different material that gives the shirt two layers, and sometimes there are rips in it. this i hate. anyone know what i mean? its a big pet peeve, i'll look for an example.

dblgutshot: yes it is acceptable to wear just out with nice jeans. that shirt looks nice as well.

I'd definitly buy at least one of those shirts to wear out with a nice pair of jeans. I'd probably need to see those cuffs for myself before I shelled out any cashola, I don't understand what's tweaked about them.

Edit for diagram.
