I agree.There's something about contrasting white collars and white French cuffs that I love. Sure, it's got a TV newscaster a la Tom Brokow/80s power broker look to it but so what? I find myself particularly fond of Ralph Lauren Purple Label's Keaton collared shirts in this style. I suppose the whole thing is pretty dandyish but if you can pull it off successfully, more power to you.
Wow, so its origins are completely the opposite of what I assumed. It's funny how often things are taken from the poor or working classes and made highly desirable as fashionable or luxury items.It originally happened when members of the lower classes would wear out their shirts' cuffs and collars before the bodies wore out. Unable to match the fabrics, tailors would replace the patterned cuffs and collars with white ones. It was a way for the lower classes to save money by not having to replace the entire shirt.
You got everything correct ... except the class. Members of the lower classes did not typically wear dress shirts, nor could they afford tailors. Members of the middle and upper classes did and could.It originally happened when members of the lower classes would wear out their shirts' cuffs and collars before the bodies wore out.
