french cuffs are great
but a little outside of my class
they're one of those things that you have to commit to

I wear French cuff shirts. I wear CT and Ralph Lauren shirts with nice and simple links ( my favorite is sterling silver bulldog links wife gave me). Don't like tacky big arse links. Also like wearing the 2 button dress shirts as well with sharp bow ties.

In a corporate management role, that's all you should wear.
"you've got to dress for the job you want, not for the job you have"
But outside of work, I would say definitely no.

Yay when wearing a nice suit and for special events - not for everyday office attire. French cuffs look sharp as frick.

Depends on your role and who you meet with.
French cuffs on a white dress shirt, with conservative cufflinks work well, even for everyday wear.
As in all things, situational awareness is key.

This is a great point. If your customers/clients are wearing golf shirts to dress up, french cuffs are too much.

If you're consistently overdressing then this isn't cool, but if you're in an environment that it is accepted and appreciated, then roll with it.

This discussion reminds me of the thread about slim fitting suits. It's amazing how some simpletons here immediately label anyone with a little bit of fashion sense as gay.

As long as your cuff links are simple and understated and not gaudy, Yay.

I also vote Yay because FCs allow you to wear some pretty cool cuff links:
Those are "only 11.95 Carat and cost $612,000.
But seriously the options on links make FC Shirts the ones to wear.

They should only be worn with a jacket and tie.
If you wear French cuffs without both of those other garments, you look like a clueless tryhard
