Do you own cuff links and french cuff shirts?
I have many opportunities in my work to dress well. A nicely dressed man wears a sharp tie, a good looking timepiece and to top it off-a french cuff shirt displaying very stylish cuff links. If you see a man as described he has an air of sophistication.
If you are over a woman’s place after dinner, unbutton the cuffs and leave the cuff links “accidentally’ at her house. To retreive them will get you a second date.

French only! Looks much better. It’s how shirts were originally designed.

I’m trying to find a mens dress shirt (french cuff) with a white collar however the rest of the shirt is color or with stripes going down it. Is there a specific name for dress shirts with white collars? What stores/brands make them?
I’m not completely sure where to find these shirts. I would look in more dressy stores, like Express and Banana Republic. If you can’t find them there, I would look in Marshall’s, T J maxx, or Ross, they have alot of shirts similar to what you are describing.

Editors Comment: The French cuff shirts are shirts with the long cuffs that fold back. They are often secured using cuff links.
I bought a very nice Perry Ellis shirt the other day. It seems like it’d be more of a casual shirt than a dress shirt…but it has french cuffs. Is it ok to wear french-cuffed shirts with jeans? Should I buy cuff-links also? I really like the French cuffs, I want to start buying more of them
Traditionally, French cuffed shirts are meant to be worn for formal occasions. While you may certainly wear them without ties, it is recommended that you wear them with at least a jacket. Not doing so is considered a faux paux. However, these days, I see a lot of French cuff shirts that are of casual design. If you have such a shirt, you can certainly be adventurous and wear these for less formal occasions with perhaps sweaters and a pair of nice slacks. But wearing them with jeans or khakis defeats the purpose. I would recommend pairing your FC shirt with a dark pair of slacks (navy blue, or gray, or perhaps black) and a good sweater. And a good odd jacket or sport coat, if that is possible. And if you are wearing a french cuffed shirt, you must wear it with cuff links, or silk knots (unless you are planning on rolling up the sleeves).

What department or mall stores can I buy french cuff shirts from?
Last year I purchased my prom shirt from http://www.paulfredrick.com/ which has the style I like (white french cuff and white collar with colored stripes) and I have not seen any dress shirts similar in the mall
If you have a Syms close, try them – they have some really nice style shirts with french cuffs.
Also you can try Macy’s- check out SeanJean or Trump collections – they both wear french cuff and their designs follow suit. (pardon the pun)
There is also a chain called S&K I think- they have some nice choices. Good luck. Admire the same style.
