Must shirts that use cuff links be folded at the cuffs before using the cufflinks?

Question

Can they be worn "straight" like buttoned cuffs without folding them back?

Answer 1

not unless you want to look like an idiot. It sounds like the shirt was not sized properly to you.

Answer 2

yup im with evil_genuis7- the shirt is not sized properly. if you cant fold em back then its too small.

you can find french cuff shirts inexpensive enough to buy a new one (like at Burlington Coat Factory for $10-25)

Answer 3

You are referring to French cuffs. French cuffs are longer than regular cuffs. They are meant to be folded back and secured with cufflinks. They are more elegant than short cuffs. Wear them proudly; you will show you have class and style.
