Men - When Should You Wear Cufflinks?

Cufflinks are an item that most men possess - even if they don't often wear them! They tend to be given as birthday/Xmas presents - and then put away in a drawer never to be seen.

Can it be that men are unsure as to when to use cufflinks or even, which shirt and how to wear them?

The best type of shirt to wear cufflinks with are ones which have no buttons at the cuffs. Normally you will find that formal dress shirts have no buttons on the cuffs- then it is easy to use cufflinks - or buy a "convertible" shirt - which allows the wearer to use stud cufflinks besides the buttons.

When is it appropriate to wear cufflinks? Cufflinks are not really ideal for every day use - keep them for special occasions ie weddings or parties. And always make sure you have secured them properly so that you don't lose one if you are dancing energetically at a party!

If you decide to wear cufflinks to a funeral, please be careful with which style you choose - make sure they are appropriate for the occasion!!

How should you choose your cufflinks? It is usually best to match your cufflinks with the metal on your belt or watch or the pattern on your tie. And there are so many styles to choose from. Plain silver or gold are best kept for formal occasions like a funeral - but for parties, there are lots of crazy, bright colours and retro cartoon character ones to choose from.
