cuffless en · ADJ

Pronunciation

  • /ˈkʌfləs/

Etymology

From cuff + -less.

Meanings

  1. (not-comparable) Having no cuffs; without cuffs.
    • Diminutive men should wear cuffless trousers, because their spareness and smidgen of extra length (for when properly finished they slant downward from front to rear and reach almost to the heel of your shoe yet without puddling) make the legs seem longer, and thus the man taller. 2006, Nicholas Antongiavanni [pseudonym; Michael Anton], The Suit: A Machiavellian Approach to Men's Style, New York: HarperCollins Publishers, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 10:
