「Cuff types」

A cuff is an extra layer of fabric at the lower edge of the sleeve of a garment covering the arms.

Here are different kinds of cuffs I drew.




Roll up tab

The rolled up part works well on both soft and rigid woven fabrications. It is always a choice for the girls who loves shirts, shirt dresses, tunics and blouses, so loving rolled tab sleeves is a no-brainer. They can convey both a classic and a hip integrity depending on the rest of the ensemble. As always, it’s HOW you wear the item that counts, also they denote a casual vibe.

French cuff

They are twice as long and worn folded back on themselves. French cuffs were once considered to be more formal than button cuffs, although they are seeing a resurgence in the business environment, particularly in Europe. They also known as "James Bond cuff".

Single cuff

Single cuffs, the original linked cuff, are required for white tie and are the more traditional choice for black tie. Also, some traditionalists may wear this style with lounge suits as well.
