Men's Dress Shirt Cuffs - What is the right size? Button cuff proper proportion

About this video

Centeno explains how to determine the proper dress shirt cuff size based on individual wrist proportions and fit preferences. He provides guidelines for cuff circumference and length, and offers practical solutions for adjusting existing shirts through button repositioning, tailoring, or cuff replacement.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues the ideal cuff should require unbuttoning to remove—if it slides off unbuttoned, it’s too large
• Centeno recommends 1 to 1.25 inches of extra room for standard cuffs and 1.75 to 2 inches for French cuffs, with a maximum of 2 inches even for larger wrists
• Centeno suggests affordable alterations like moving the button, having the cuff rebuilt by a tailor, or replacing the entire cuff from another shirt
