You and You’re Business Shirt Cuffs

We hear a lot of talk on Cuff length, Is your business shirt cuff hidden or has your French cuff gone missing?

There is no rule set in concrete as to how long your shirt cuff should be. A combination of blame can generally be placed on your suit jacket or your shirt.

How much cuff should you show?

There is no rule set in concrete as to how long your shirt cuff should be. A combination of blame can generally be placed on your suit jacket or your shirt.

A good way to test whether your business shirt sleeve is the correct length is to let your arm hang by your side with your business shirts unbuttoned, the sleeve should come down just before the centre of the back of your hand or midpoint between the base of your thumb and top knuckle. When the cuff is buttoned it will stop the cuff from sliding down onto the hand and also giving room for bending and lifting of your arm.

The length your jacket sleeve should end approximately 5 mm (1/4″) to 20 mm (3/4″) before the business shirt cuff.

Stay cool people
