Question for Hamish - White Dress Shirts

[Nick]

Hamish, "French Cuff", for the purposes of this thread, could probably be said to be any kind of cuff that requires a cufflink, though I think all the various styles have different names.

There are regional differences in the US, but here "Dress shirt" refers to a (usually white) button down collared shirt, I think that'd be the same as your business shirt. If I follow you about the pleats down the front, that's what's worn with a tuxedo.

I asked this question because I felt the appearance of the french cuffs with the cuff links just gave the appearance of too much cuff. In other words the cuff was too large for the sleeve of the Argyle jacket and distracted from the appearance of the outfit.:sad:

The next time I will try a shirt with the button cuffs, that should solve the problem. I agree that a small amount of cuff should show below the sleeve.

Hamish, I appreciate your answer. You certainly help us on the correct fashion path.
