double cuff

Folded sleeve end

A double cuff is a shirt cuff that folds back on itself, creating two layers of fabric fastened with cufflinks rather than buttons.

Also called a French cuff, it appears on dress shirts for formal occasions: He wore a crisp white shirt with double cuffs and silver cufflinks.

The style signals formality and deliberate elegance.
