If I care about appearance, I carefully fold over the cuffs and tuck them into my socks. Nothing to lose like with straps and bands, and the socks are always there to use. If I don't care (such as going to work), I just stuff the cuffs into my socks.

I have a FG bike with an old crankset; I've filed off the teeth from the outer ring to make a cuff-guard. When the new Sora crankset goes on, the outer chainring on that will be sacrificed for the same reason. Oddly, cheap bikes often have plastic guards fitted to the outer chainring, and sometimes mid-range cranksets are drilled to take them, but the guards aren't fitted. But high-end stuff... well practical items like cuff-guards aren't even thought of.
