Cuffless

/ˈkʌfləs/ adjective

Definition

Not having cuffs; describing clothing without cuffs at the wrists or ankles.

Etymology

From 'cuff' (the fold of fabric) plus the suffix '-less' (meaning without). A straightforward descriptive term in English fashion vocabulary.

Kelly Says

The rise and fall of cuffless shirts tracks with fashion history—cuffles designs were considered very modern and streamlined in the 1960s, then old-fashioned, and now contemporary designers keep bringing them back because they make any shirt look sleeker.
