Regardless of how often you dress up, designer cufflinks are a fantastic way to adorn your wardrobe. Adding a personal touch to a suit or dress shirt, cufflinks for men come in a variety of styles, allowing you to display unique trends or simply complete your elegant look. Since these menswear staples actually pre-date the button, safety pin, and zipper, consider using them to customize your outfits and bring sophistication to your day-to-day apparel. Here’s our step-by-step guide to putting on cufflinks for men.
While gents can wear cufflinks on any type of dress shirt, traditionally, cufflinks are to be worn on French cuff dress shirts. This is because these types of shirts possess extra long cuffs that fold back on the cuff material, creating layers. Since French cuffs don’t have buttons to connect the cuffs, the small holes at each side of the cuff are where the cufflinks can be seamlessly added, securing the four layers of the shirt fabric. This creates a dressier look, which is the most classic style to wear alongside cufflinks for men.
With your arm extended, use your opposing hand to fold your french cuffs back. Make sure that the end edge of the cuff (the one closest to your fingers) folds back to form a neat and even lining.
Pinch the two open edges of the shirt cuff together so that they lay flat, away from the wrist. The inside fabric should then be pressed against each other to create the classic look—”kiss cuff’.
To ensure that you look dapper, it’s important to make sure that the cufflink holes are even and aligned. This makes it easy to insert the cufflinks.
Here at upscalemenswear.com, we carry two styles of cufflinks—round and square. If you want to make sure that peers are wowed by your dazzling sleeve adornments, the decorative face of the cufflink should be outwardly displayed with the rest of the cufflink inserted and hidden within the layers of the cuff fabric and secured to the other side of the cuff.
Cufflinks for men are a great investment! What do you think?
