How to use cufflinks

Stylish cufflinks for the perfect look

Cufflinks are small pieces of jewelry that can upgrade your look from smart to brilliant. They, in a sense, take the place of the buttons on a dress shirt.

If you want to be able to wear your cufflinks with style it is very important to know how to wear them and when to wear them. Usually, cufflinks come in many sizes, shapes and colors to fit the needs of any man’s style.

Even though in the past they were designed for the most sophisticated men, nowadays it is accepted to wear them with both casual and dressy looks. Many cufflinks go well with a black-tie dress code, for example designs that are engraved or encrusted with crystals and gems, or gold cufflinks, while others are perfect for less formal environments: novelty cufflinks, wooden cufflinks or silk knots. Even if you love novelty cufflinks you should not wear them for a serious business meeting.

They create the impression of a trendsetter and are a perfect choice for any informal event. Instead, gold cufflinks mean business, and they demonstrate success and maturity.

Cufflinks are elegantly simple and very easy to use.

To know how to use them you should follow some basic steps:

Firstly, it is important to have a French cuff shirt, also known as the double cuff shirt, which contains two holes in the sleeve. Normally, this is a type of shirt many people wear at formal dinners or business events, but with a little creativity you can successfully include this shirt in a smart-casual outfit . After that you should line up the cufflink holes and then insert and secure the cufflink. For a stylish appearance you should opt for cufflink colors that match your shirt color or any other item from your outfit: shoes, watch, pants, bow-tie.  Most men wear dark suits and a pair of carefully chosen cufflinks in a different, maybe strong color (gold, red, scarlet) will look great and will add a special something to you entire look.
