French cuff
Link-fastened shirt feature
A French cuff is a shirt cuff that folds back on itself and fastens with cufflinks rather than buttons.
The doubled fabric creates a more formal, elegant look associated with dress shirts worn with suits: He threaded gold cufflinks through his French cuffs.
Also called a double cuff.
