I recently have had the liking of shirts with contrasting patterns (floral, pasley, ect) on the inside of the collars and cuffs for dress shirts. Brands I have been purchasing include English Laundry, and Bugatchai, and Burberry. I wear these to work with a tie and the cuffs buttoned so they do not show the pattern, but on the weekends or on Fridays (no tie day) I wear it with top button unbuttoned and the cuffs flipped back to show off the pattern..
I am curious to what other people think of these types of shirts, and if there is a proper way to wear them to show off the inside of the cuff. More specifically, I am talking about either keeping it unbuttoned and flipped back, or flipped back and buttoned, which I see displayed in the department stores.. This makes the cuff obviously very tight, and since it is flipped back, it sinches up the arm.. One of my Bugatchai shirts is convertible cuffed, so it has an extra button hole to put a cuff link on...
I know this is most likely personal preference, but I'd like to hear about how others treat these types of shirts, either leave them on the shelf, or flaunt the colors and patterns.
Oh, also a couple of the English Laundry shirts with patterns on the cuffs are french cuffs, and you can't flip them back to show the pattern, but I do like how the manufacturer has one of the corners stitched back to display it.. I wear these on the weekends with jeans un-tucked and unbuttoned and no tie, or with a tie/suit to work...
Ok, thanks!
