cuffs that requires cufflinks are called French cuff or double
cuff (primarily British).
it is a cuff on a dress shirt that is folded back and then closed
with cuff links or silk knots, instead of buttons.
so if u want to use cufflinks, u need to get shirts that requires
them. thos shirts that we normally see in the stores have barrel
cuffs. i.e overlap each other and held down by a button.
FYI....
from wikipedia;
French cuffs are considered to be more formal than button cuffs.
Although more formal, French cuffs are optional and a matter of
preference. If a standard suit (as opposed to a tuxedo) is formal
enough for an occasion, then so are button cuffs. For a job
interview in a business environment, shirts with button cuffs are
generally preferred to those with French cuffs.
Alternatively, instead of cuff links, French cuffs can also be
closed with the much less expensive, but just as formal and
well-regarded, silk knots, sometimes called monkey's fists. Silk
knots tend to be better known in Europe than in the United
States.
