Default French cuffs on dressy casual shirts

I'm talking about shirts like the more colorful stuff on this page (Some info if you're confused).

I voted stupid because french cuffs are not something I would normally where. If I did it would most likely be out of an attempt to be something I am not.

However I think there are guys who could pull them off and qualify as pimp.

i think it can be done tastefully. as long as the shirt isnt too flashy, otherwise its like having top shelf whiskey in your jack 'n coke.

I think that's a great analogy. While some people might be able to pull the look off, I really don't think that any occassion where a french cuffed shirt should be worn would qualify as casual.

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

EDIT: I just looked at the page in your link, apparently all those shits have buttons. In that case I think it's just stupid.

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

Do you mean buttons down the front of the shirt? That is pretty standard when it comes to french cuff dress shirts you wear with a suit. These shirts do NOT have buttons on the cuffs, the pics just have make it look a bit like that, I guess as placeholders. I've only seen studs used w/ tux shirts, but I'm sure non-tux shirts like that exist as well.

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

If you use these dont get a french cuff shirt. Get real cuff links or a normal shirt.
