I've actually seen someone do this at a meeting at work on Monday.
Although it looks quite normal, like a regular barrel cuff, I couldn't stop looking and thinking about how funny it was, because its obvious it was his first french cuff shirt. He was 45+ so I thought it wouldn't mention it because he was older than me and didnt want to have an awkward moment afterwards lol, but i hope he gets it right next time.

Last year some one posted a link to a Swedish forum where some young guy took photos of how to wear double cuffs as single. A few of them looked pretty good.

I almost never wear them, but if it looks clean, why the hell not?

This is what you can do if you're wearing a FC shirt under a sweater.

IMHO there is nothing ridiculous about it. It's a legitimate way of dressing down a French cuff shirt...
