Cufflinks are an elegant accessory that represents an era in which beauty prevails over practicality. Despite the widespread use of buttons, giving preference to cufflinks is a vivid manifestation of fashion and style among modern men.
Cufflinks as a gift
In order to wear cufflinks, you need a special shirt. Its difference from the usual one is the presence of French (or double) cuffs and slots for the fastener. Cufflinks can also be worn with shirts with Viennese (or combination) cuffs (they have both cufflink slots and regular buttons).
One important rule when wearing a shirt with French cuffs is to never iron the fold of the cuffs. Simply tuck them in before putting on the cufflinks. It is also necessary to take into account that the hole for the cufflinks should be on the outside, and not on the top or bottom.
Basic rules for wearing cufflinks
1. Always remember the appropriateness of your jewelry. Agree, it will be quite strange if you come to a business meeting with bright cufflinks or jewelry with skulls. At the same time, such interesting accessories will create a mood during gatherings with friends.
2. If in addition to cufflinks you wear other jewelry or accessories, take care of their compatibility. For example, if you wear a gold watch, then you should also choose gold cufflinks.
3. The shirt sleeve should not protrude more than 2 centimeters from under the jacket. Cufflinks should be visible only when you move your hands. It is considered bad form to deliberately show off cufflinks.
4. A properly fastened cufflink should not fly off the shirt cuff, even with a sharp movement of the hand.
5. Cufflinks should not be combined with sports accessories (plastic watches, even very expensive ones, fitness bracelets, etc.).
6. Wearing a shirt with French cuffs without a jacket is not prohibited, but it is done infrequently. At the same time, only such a shirt is appropriate with a tuxedo, which automatically makes wearing cufflinks mandatory. At the same time, cufflinks worn with a tuxedo should be decorated exclusively with a black stone.
7. The cufflinks of the shirt should be clean and perfectly ironed. Cufflinks attract attention, so it is important to look neat.
How to fasten cufflinks?
How to fasten cufflinks depends on the type of clasp. The main types of fasteners used in these accessories:
• chain;
• rotating rod;
• rigid couplings;
• clasps.
The T-shaped clasp is the most common option today. This type of fastening is very convenient and easy to use: you just need to rotate the clasp along its axis - and that's it, the cufflinks are fastened. With this type of fastening, there is practically no question of how to fasten cufflinks.
Less convenient fasteners are cufflinks with a chain or a rigid clasp. In order to learn how to properly put on cufflinks with such fasteners, you will have to practice a little. Those who are fastening cufflinks for the first time are advised to do this before putting on a shirt, since it will be more difficult to do it with one hand. The main thing is to remember that the decorative part of the accessory should be on the outside, not the inside: this rule is relevant for all types of fasteners.
