Cuff
A cuff is an elastic band that supports a garment, holding it in place. It can be machined and made with the same material as the leg, doubled and made more stretchy, or applied to over-the-knee socks, long socks and ankle socks. It can be deep or narrow, smooth and flat, ribbed or patterned, but it is always soft and comfortable so that it doesn't irritate. Thanks to the latest technologies new techniques have been discovered to enhance cuffs, creating gathered or lace effects.
