    Jock, 'kissing': the ends of cuffs are pinched together, inside flap to inside flap, aligning the buttonholes. This is the typical way they are seen.
    'barrel-style': one end of the cuff overlaps the other, like a button cuff would.

    I always wear them kissing, but there is sometimes a discussion (not that I participate in) about that being "too formal" for daytime etc...

    Crumbs, I did not know that there were two ways to wear cuff links! It therefore follows, I suppose, that I also did not know that one way could be considered more formal than the other! Well, never too old to learn, what?

    I wear my cuffs "kissing" style at all times.
