Let’s break down the anatomy. A French cuff is folded back on itself. That gives you four layers of fabric. Four holes, two layers.
You put the cufflink through the top two holes, then through the bottom two. It’s like a puzzle. But an easy one. You got this.
Pro tip: Don’t fold the cuff too tight. You want a little wiggle room. Otherwise, your wrist looks like a sausage in a casing.
