The Rules are clear in that this act was categorically wrong. Button-down shirts were originally sportswear and among the softest of collars, while French cuffs are stiffies best reserved for the loftiest of occasions and venues. Grant&#8217;s shirts, then, are menswear bastards &#8212; and yet, there they are. He chose them, he wore them, he didn&#8217;t give a damn. All this goes to show that The Rules can be broken with no great harm for the reputation of style icons. The end result is very much like licking one&#8217;s elbow: it can be done, perhaps with the help of natural talent and a few dislocated joints, but likely not worth the trouble.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/10\/Cary_Grants_button-down_shirts_with_French_cuffs_at_Keikari_dot_com.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3833\" alt=\"Cary_Grant's_button-down_shirts_with_French_cuffs_at_Keikari_dot_com\" src=\"http:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/10\/Cary_Grants_button-down_shirts_with_French_cuffs_at_Keikari_dot_com.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/10\/Cary_Grants_button-down_shirts_with_French_cuffs_at_Keikari_dot_com.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/10\/Cary_Grants_button-down_shirts_with_French_cuffs_at_Keikari_dot_com-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-content\/pictures\/2013\/10\/Cary_Grants_button-down_shirts_with_French_cuffs_at_Keikari_dot_com-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: Carygrant.net<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, the legends are true: Cary Grant, that style icon, Hollywood favourite, transatlantic enunciator and second Greatest Male Star of &#8230; <br \/><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/cary-grants-button-down-shirts-with-french-cuffs\/\">keep reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[39,60,64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-eccentricities","category-etiquette","category-style-icons"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3832"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3835,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3832\/revisions\/3835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keikari.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
