Looking implausible in your corporate appeal is not to be taken for granted. It’s not really impossible. All you need is a French cuff shirt and an accessory or two and you’ll be on your way to looking your best, even in your everyday formal wear.
A perfect complement to your wardrobe is a shirt with a French cuff. There is nothing very fancy about these types of cuffs. They are simply cuffed shirts, only they have double cuffs that are usually fastened with cufflinks. Cufflinks add a bit more sophistication and make your French cuff more illustrious. These cuffed shirts come in many different colors and materials that you can choose from, as well as a wide variety of cufflink materials and designs that can perfectly match any of your choice of French cuff shirts.
Choosing your French cuff shirt is just the first step. You have to maintain its appearance when you first bought it so that you can maximize your shirt. Let me show you how to care for your French cuff shirt.
1. Machine wash your cuffed shirt on a gentle cycle and use warm water. Stay away from hot water as it can damage the fine material of your shirt. Also be sure to separate the white shirts from the colored ones so they don’t mix. You don’t want your crisp white cuffed shirt to look pink or greenish, do you?
2. It is recommended not to dry clean the cuffed shirt. The harsh chemicals used in the dry cleaning process can damage your fragile shirt. Machine wash is sufficient. It’s cost effective and will save you a separate trip to the dry cleaner.
3. Avoid stains. This also applies to your entire wardrobe. Be sure to dry the deodorant before putting it on. They can be very stubborn and won’t wash away immediately. When you get a stain on your shirt, remove it immediately. Don’t let it rest. The more days you wait, the more difficult it will be to remove it.
4. For red wine stains, remove with cold water. Red sauce stains, on the other hand, can be washed with hot water and harsh soap. If the stains just lighten but aren’t completely removed, soak the cuffed shirt in warm water mixed with a little vinegar. Bleach also has harsh chemicals, it’s best to avoid it.
French cuff shirts are perfect investments. They exude class, sophistication and elegance, especially when paired with a classic pair of cufflinks. Your French cuff shirts are versatile pieces that you can wear to any formal event as they are on trend and stylish. They can also be worn as everyday office attire as it is also perfect in the corporate setting.
Keep the original look of your shirt. It will last longer, allowing you to expand your investment. French cuff shirts can look perfect for a long time, you just have to take care of them as you do your women and yourself.
