Admittedly, most people don't dress that way much anymore. But it's more than appropriate for a tailered suit.
This.
Pretty much any day I wear a more formal looking suit (in my case, dark blue, black or charcoal) I wear a french cuffed (sometimes french collar as well) shirt. I've got 9 or 10 different shirts, and 5 or 6 pairs of cufflinks. Most of mine are vintage that I bought from flea markets/vintage shops, or are hand me downs from my grandfathers.
Less formal suit (tan, light gray) less formal shirt (regular button cuff).
As men, we have few choices in expression when it comes to formal (or in my case, workplace) wear.
You've got ties, watches, rings.... maybe a necklace and your belt buckle.
Not a whole lot of space to express your personality.
I personally like wearing a suit... and cufflinks. it certainly helped me in my college years scoring with the ladies and looking good.
