Where do I find a shirt with which I can use cufflinks? What should I look for?
I'm curious where I would look for a shirt with which I can use cufflinks. Where would I find the best selection? What should I look for (if anything) on the label to indicate that the shirt has holes for cufflinks?
Out of curiosity, is there another type of shirt aside from "french cuffs" that also requires cuff links? From what I understand, there's also another type of shirt with normal length cuffs instead of the double-length French cuffs. Is this type of shirt common?

What you need to look for as far as labeling is concerned, is something that says "French cuff". These shirts will require cuff-links or something similiar. you can also check the cuff of the shift. If it is open and has only one hole on each side, where a typical shirt would have a hole and a button…then it needs cuff links.
The last shirts I purchased with these cuffs were from Express, and were fairly nice for the price, but I am sure they can be found anywhere that sells quality dress/trendy clothing.
There is also two ways to wear them, commmonly called "kissing" and "barrel-style". "Kissing"= the open end of the cuff being pulled down and the cuff link pinching the two ends together with the decorative side facing out. "Barrel-style"= rolling one end over the other like a standard (button) cuff and using the cuff-link from the inside by your wrist with the decorative end on the outside of the rolled cuff.
