Men's suit, pants question -- cuffs or no cuffs?

Depends on the type of suit. I wear a suit every day...all have cuffs, I'm 33 with semi-lengthy hair.

 

Don't you wear Nehru jackets?

 

Land's End shirts are fabulous. Great quality, reasonably priced. At one point you could buy an Egyptian cotton dress shirt for about $40.00.

 

If you have short legs, cuffs on the pants will make them look shorter. Something to keep in mind.

 

I worked on Wall Street. If your pants weren't cuffed you looked like a doorman or an affable sky cap.

 

Damn, you are old

I have four suits -- solid black, blue, gray wools and a lightweight cream -- all are pleated and cuffed.

What do you think about wearing mock turtlenecks or other shirts with suits/jackets? I'm not for advocating a golf polo with a blazer. That look is only fashionable late in the evening on the first Sunday in April in Augusta, Ga.

 

Wall Street isn't the arbiter of fashion.

Once again, if you're a Brooks Brother kinda person, cuffs are OK.

If you're wearing an Armani suit, cuffs are ridiculous.

Whatever you wear it should be a total package.

And FH, mock turtlenecks are a fashion abomination.

 

I've got four myself - charcoal, medium gray, brown w/blue pinstripe and green (yes, green). No mock turtlenecks or other like shirts with full suits, occasionally with jackets (depending on the jacket and the shirt).

 

Three-quarters of all the shirts I own are T-shirts, and half of those are sleeveless.

 

And you look damned good in your suit, based on prior observation.

As for my part, I spent an absurd amount on a wedding suit a couple of years back ... and everyone agrees it was worth every penny. Of course, none of them had to pay for it.
