You've probably spotted them on men's outfits at big events, or even on suits in films: cufflinks are the ultimate piece of jewellery for accessorising a suit.
Thought cufflinks were old-fashioned and outdated? Think again! Worn well, cufflinks let you assert your style on countless occasions. You just need to know how — and when to wear cufflinks.
At work, for a wedding, or simply day to day, wearing cufflinks helps you stand out and sharpen your style.
Not convinced yet, still hesitating to add cufflinks to your dress shirts? Here are 10 good reasons to take the plunge and start wearing cufflinks.
Because they're practical accessories, first and foremost
Of course, cufflinks are an accessory you can do without when wearing a suit. But the primary function of this accessory is, naturally, to let you fasten your shirt cuffs around your wrist.
Indeed, the first reason to wear cufflinks is simple: they're practical, so you don't end up with your cuffs flapping open.
While most shirts already have a plastic button to fasten the cuff, cufflinks can adjust that fastening more or less depending on the design you choose.
Because they let you adopt a smarter, more distinguished look
Of course, you could simply make do with your shirt's standard plastic button to close your cuffs, but it wouldn't have the same effect as cufflinks.
Cufflinks give a more refined, polished look to your outfit. For a big event such as a wedding, we strongly recommend choosing to wear cufflinks for a smarter, more considered look.
For an important business meeting, you can also choose to wear cufflinks to accessorise your outfit, just as you would with a tie or a bow tie.
Because they help you stand out
The main advantage of cufflinks is that they let you stand out and rise above the crowd. As far back as the Middle Ages, cufflinks served as a marker of social distinction.
Today, cufflinks are an ideal way to assert your style by choosing your own personalised designs. Type of fastening, colours, materials: there are countless cufflink designs to help you find the accessory that suits you best and lets you dress up your shirts.
Tired of looking like all your colleagues in suit and tie at meetings? Want to stand out from the crowd? Cufflinks are made for you!
Because they let you accessorise your outfits
As well as setting you apart from others, cufflinks finally let you accessorise your outfits exactly as you please.
For a man, accessorising isn't always easy. While a tie, bow tie, jewellery, scarf or belt can all accessorise your suits and everyday outfits, cufflinks are a very practical accessory for anyone looking for new ways to accessorise their look.
But cufflinks aren't just for men. Women too can choose cufflinks to accessorise their shirts and blouses.
Because they let you coordinate the colours of your outfit
Cufflinks come in every colour! Black for a classic look, red to grab attention, or a trending colour to stay on top of fashion without overhauling your whole wardrobe? The choice is yours!
Our style tip: choose cufflinks that can be coordinated with the other colours in your outfit. Got brown shoes? Why not create a subtle, understated echo with cufflinks in the same colour?
You can coordinate your cufflinks with your tie, your bow tie, your belt, or even your suit jacket.
Because they let you finish your look properly
Want to wear a particularly polished outfit for an important event like your wedding? It's essential to think about every detail! Jewellery, shoes, belt: all these accessories help complete your outfit.
Cufflinks serve the same purpose! They truly finish your look, right down to your cuffs.
You can then choose to make an impression with original cufflinks, or opt for a more understated style with classic ones.
Because they let you play with materials
As we mentioned earlier: cufflinks let you play with colour to coordinate them with your outfit or an accessory within it.
But you can also play with materials, since there are many types of cufflinks made from different substances.
More of a classic dresser? You could opt for steel cufflinks. Or, for something more original, try silk-knot cufflinks!
Because they give your outfit a more formal edge
If you're looking for an accessory to give your outfit a more formal edge, cufflinks are the ideal choice. Indeed, while they've been brought back into fashion and can now be worn on any occasion, they remain an accessory that gives you a chic, highly professional look.
Very easy to put on, and to take off for most designs, it's easy to add cufflinks to your suit just before an important meeting, for example.
If you want a classic outfit for your wedding, you can choose understated cufflinks that will give your outfit a very formal touch.
Because they let you adopt an original look
Cufflinks aren't just accessories for giving a classic style to a shirt or suit jacket.
Cufflinks come in a range of designs that make them a truly original accessory for standing out. You can choose cufflinks with patterns or bold colours for a more original, distinctive look.
The originality of your outfit can also come from the material chosen for your cufflinks. The most original cufflinks, for example, are made of silk and give a more relaxed look while still wearing cufflinks.
Because they let you wear fine jewellery
Cufflinks are genuine pieces of jewellery. The price of certain cufflinks can indeed climb depending on the material and quality of the piece.
If you want to change your habits and wear jewellery that lets you stand out while accessorising your outfits, cufflinks are made for you!
Just like bracelets, rings or necklaces, cufflinks help elevate your outfit. So don't hesitate to add new pieces to your cufflink collection to complete your outfits at work, for important events, and in everyday life too.
