In my line of duty, i usually don't wear formal anymore. Jeans is always on me.
But i have a French-cuff, Slim-fit shirt, the color is pink-white stripe.
Can i wear this shirt+cuff ink with jeans? Will it look ridiculous?
What's your recommendation on matching them?

Most will say that's a no-no.

I've done it. I'll do it again. I think it looks fine.

But I'm a heretic.

Take as you will.

Fine by me, but I'd make sure to go with a very dark wash denim, minimally decorated, and I'd wear a jacket (maybe navy linen?)

This look smells like "my girlfriend dresses me." Just like wearing a sweater over an untucked dress shirt and folding the sleeve cuffs on the outside of the sweater so that the bottoms and the cuff show screams of "my girlfriend dresses me."

Out of curiosity, what "plain cufflinks" what do you use? Silk knots?

i find french cuffs are great to wear casually - without cufflinks and rolling up the sleeves. the extra layer of stiffness holds it nicely into place and creates a nice shape
