Why give cufflinks for Father's Day
A symbolic accessory for special occasions
Cufflinks are not just a menswear accessory. They're the sign of a man who pays attention to detail, who takes care over his formal look, and who owns a chic, elegant style. Giving cufflinks for Father's Day means recognising that appreciation for sartorial care and giving him an object he'll wear on his important moments: a business meeting, an elegant dinner, a wedding or a ceremony.
Unlike clothing where you can get the size wrong, cufflinks are universal. They suit every build and outlast seasons and trends. It's an accessible luxury gift that lasts, provided you choose quality materials. Fashion media such as Marie Claire and Elle France understand this well, regularly featuring men's jewellery in their Father's Day gift selections.
The 7 original cufflinks to give
Here is a selection of seven models available at Une Autre Paire De Manche, designed for different profiles of stylish dads.
1. The stainless-steel classic with a brushed finish
This is the timeless model, the one that suits every dressy outfit. The brushed finish gives it a sober, modern look, far from the sometimes overly flashy shine. In stainless steel, it withstands everyday wear and doesn't tarnish over time. It's the ideal cufflink gift for a dad who regularly wears a shirt at the office.
2. The coloured-enamel model
For a dad who loves colour and bolder looks, enamel cufflinks bring a touch of character to any French-cuff shirt. Our cufflinks by colour collection offers a wide palette to suit every man's wardrobe. A Father's Day fashion gift that truly stands out from the ordinary.
3. The themed model: golf, Star Wars and passion-driven worlds
An original gift for dad is often a gift that speaks to who he is. For the golfing dad, our golf cufflinks are an elegant gift idea that combines passion and refinement. For the pop-culture-loving dad, our Star Wars collection offers limited-edition pieces that hit the mark every time.
4. Cufflinks with personalised engraving
Personalising with initials or a discreet message turns a beautiful piece into a one-of-a-kind object. It's the personalised Father's Day gift par excellence: it carries a strong emotional signature while staying elegant. A jewellery artisan can carry out this engraving on various materials, from steel to solid silver. This kind of unique piece is often cited by specialist media such as Grazia among the season's favourite gifts.
5. The men's gift set: two pairs for two occasions
Giving a men's gift set means giving versatility. At Une Autre Paire De Manche, our cufflink gift sets bring together two or more pairs in carefully finished gift packaging, ready to give with no extra effort. It's the perfect solution for those looking for a Father's Day fashion gift that's both complete and beautifully presented.
6. The solid-silver or precious-metal model
To mark an important occasion or celebrate a dad who deserves special attention, solid-silver or precious-metal cufflinks are the choice for an accessible luxury gift. Their shine, their weight in the hand and their longevity make them pieces kept for a lifetime. They belong to the tradition of men's jewellery and make a memorable Father's Day jewellery gift.
7. New arrivals and best sellers
If you're after what's trending right now, our best-selling cufflinks and our new arrivals are regularly updated to reflect current fashion trends. It's the ideal place to find a men's fashion gift accessory that's both trendy and timeless.
Good to know
Father's Day is celebrated in France on the third Sunday of June, which falls on 21 June in 2026. Remember to order early enough to enjoy stress-free delivery and carefully finished gift packaging.
How to choose original cufflinks for a man
The essential criteria to consider
Choosing the right cufflink model depends on several criteria. Dad's lifestyle is the first indicator: does he often wear a dress shirt at the office, or does he save formal wear for special occasions? A man who works in a suit will appreciate a sober, versatile model, while a dad who wears a shirt only occasionally can afford a more novelty design.
The table below summarises the main criteria to consider based on the recipient's profile.
| Dad's profile | Recommended material | Recommended finish | Model style | Indicative budget |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Executive in a suit daily | Stainless steel or solid silver | Brushed or polished | Classic, geometric | €20 to €60 |
| Elegant dad for special occasions | Precious metal, solid silver | Polished, high-shine | Understated, timeless | €50 to €120 |
| Passionate dad (golf, pop culture...) | Stainless steel, enamel | Coloured or themed | Novelty, limited edition | €25 to €55 |
| Dad receiving a personalised gift | Steel, brass, silver | Brushed with engraving | Initials, discreet message | €35 to €80 |
Which shirt to wear with cufflinks
The French-cuff shirt, an essential
It's a question many people ask before giving this type of accessory. Cufflinks are worn exclusively with a French-cuff shirt, also called a double-cuff shirt. This type of cuff, longer than a standard cuff, folds back on itself and fastens using cufflinks. It gives an impeccable drape and a very polished silhouette.
If dad doesn't yet own this type of shirt, some gift sets include practical information on pairing shirts with cufflinks. It's also a chance to expand his wardrobe with an elegant piece of men's ready-to-wear. French-cuff shirts can be found at most quality menswear retailers.
Worth remembering: cufflinks only work with French-cuff shirts. If you're not sure the recipient owns one, consider including an explanatory note in your gift set, or suggesting he get one to complete the look.
Personalisation and made-in-France, two strong selling points
In 2026, giving an original Father's Day gift increasingly comes down to two criteria: personalisation and French manufacturing. The made-in-France trend highlights brands and artisans who produce locally, with a higher standard of care for materials and finishes. At Une Autre Paire De Manche, we work with partners committed to manufacturing quality, to offer you durable, well-finished pieces.
Personalised engraving of initials or a date is one of the most popular options for turning a cufflink into a one-of-a-kind piece. This type of personalised Father's Day gift creates a strong emotional bond and gives the accessory a sentimental value that goes well beyond its price.

FAQ
What's the average price of quality cufflinks?
Quality cufflinks generally range between 20 and 80 euros depending on the material and finish. In stainless steel, you can find very nice pieces from 20 to 30 euros. Solid-silver models or those with personalised engraving can exceed 60 to 80 euros. Gift sets including several pairs often offer better value for money for a complete gift.
Can you give cufflinks even if the recipient has never worn any?
Yes, absolutely. Cufflinks are a lovely way to introduce a man to a more polished style. Just pair them with a note explaining how to wear them and with which shirt. Some gift sets at Une Autre Paire De Manche include this kind of information to make getting started easier.
Are there cufflinks suited to a casual style?
Absolutely. Coloured-enamel, themed or limited-edition models suit a less formal look very well. They add a touch of personality to a shirt worn without a tie, for a dinner with friends or a semi-formal event. The key point remains having a French-cuff shirt.
How do you care for cufflinks so they last a long time?
Care is simple. Just wipe them with a soft cloth after each wear to remove sweat and residue. Storing them in their box or a protective pouch prevents scratches. Stainless-steel models are particularly resistant and need no special maintenance.
Can you give cufflinks on a tight budget?
Yes. There are very well-finished models available from 20 euros, notably in stainless steel with a brushed finish. Une Autre Paire De Manche also offers regular promotions on a selection of models, making it possible to find an original, inexpensive Father's Day gift with no compromise on apparent quality.
