Re: French cuffs on dressy casual shirts
[ QUOTE ]
Faceman, What do you think of say, one of those shirts w/ nice black slacks/shoes? [/ QUOTE ] Disclaimer: I am no fan of patterned/print shirts in general. At least, not unless they are big Hawaiian sort of flowers, and you have a drink that has an umbrella in it handy. So for these shirts, I only like ones that are just a basic stripe, or a solid coloured shirt that happens to have a french cuff. Having said that, I think these look fine with a pant/shoe combo that is equivalently formal. I think if you're going to wear that sort of shirt with nice pants/shoes you can look like you just didn't feel like wearing the jacket any longer, that's good. But I do think this look is very specific to an age group, sort of 25-30ish.

Re: French cuffs on dressy casual shirts
My cuff links are gold with an M monogrammed into each of them. I don't this question even needed to go the polls - french cuffs always look better than regular cuffs.
Editted to add that the "M"s stand for "Macho Man". [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: French cuffs on dressy casual shirts
Correct for formal occasions on a dress shirt but stupid on a casual shirt. But you knew that.

Re: French cuffs on dressy casual shirts
I would never wear French with jeans etc, but then a casual shirt I would never wear tucked into jeans either. You may be able to get away with the right shirt and right cufflinks but it would be a bit too flashy for me. I dont tend to wear suits but will wear a shirt and tie for work with cufflinks.
If I saw someone in a pub with a shirt with cufflinks on I would think they were a bit of a wanker, at a nice restaraunt then maybe fine, I think its a borderline call and location specific.

Re: French cuffs on dressy casual shirts
The cuff links will be important. For a black shirt and darkish blue jeans I'd go with a very classic design in titanium (you'll be more "tech"), maybe platinum (you'll be more "glitz").
If you will be sitting at a table (dining out?), the links -without having a jacket on - will constantly knock at the table surface if you do not watch it. Also, the shirt MUST be a 100% fit to your arm size, otherwise it will look ridiculous.
