cute geckos!

It would seem that many gents here prefer unique / novelty cufflinks.

im not a big fan of those "funky" ones, i mean thats what i call them.. if i'd wear any, this in an example of the ones i'd go for.. and i love this one..

some of the more formal cufflinks of mine.





dunhill coin cufflinks with mother of pearl (L), dunhill coin cufflinks with onyx (M) and dunhill spinel cufflinks with amethyst ®.


with the matching tie bars, of course.

hmmm im not too big with the whole matching thing, i feel the best would be your tie/pocket square which compliments your cufflinks and not exactly be "matching"..

i sometimes like the simple silk knots as well

i still prefer dupont and montblanc cuffs above any other..

yeah i think silk knots look nice as well =)

one man's meat is one man's poison. that's why the world is so exciting with different views and preferences.

What I've been wishing to get: an upgrade of the silk knot - Tiffany & Co's silver knots

true, but matching means you can only wear THAT particular cufflink and THAT tie bar.. however if you know how colors/patterns can compliment each other, you will have hundred and one varieties..

again, one man's meat is one man's poison.

I believe Jind86 is trying to describe things by AAAC standards where igents hate wearing accessories like pocket squares and ties that come in sets. Well, it's a no brainer of course. Throw it in and go. Good thing? I am skeptical.

While I do support and understand the igents' dislike for brainless matching set of cravat/tie + ps + fabric covered cufflinks (dressing up without effort, creativity nor any unique personal touches), an occasional matching set of cufflinks + tie bars is still fine by my book since the two precious metal/jewel accessories are mostly devoid of patterns and colours unlike tie + ps.

why do you keep mentioning this line? if you like wearing matching sets, go ahead im not stopping you, im just merely pointing out that if someone would to always buy and wear them, then they would not be mixing and matching which is going to limit the number of looks..

no offence intended to anyone in this thread. after all, this thread is about showing off your cufflinks.

personally i like to purchase cufflink together with matching tie bar off the shelve if possible. this is due the fact that each cufflink is unique by itself it is quite impossible for me to find an almost matching tie bar elsewhere. however, not all cufflinks come with matching tie bars which turn out to be a headache for me. I know some may regard using tie bar is 'old school', but i am just loving the feeling of wearing it, especially the matching one. I even used solid silver collar stiffener (or collar stay) for all my dress shirts.

anyway, here are some of my personal collection to share with you all.




dunhill tile mother of pearl cufflinks (front left), dunhill swivel round dice onyx with mother of pearl dots cufflinks (rear left), dunhill special edition sterling silver football cufflinks - 'the FA cup final - wembley stadium' (rear right) and dunhill sterling silver puzzle cufflinks.





etienne aigner sterling silver cufflinks with matching tie bar.



and jind, this is specially for you:





the dunhill coin mother of pearl cufflinks.

We have to agree to disagree with this statement. Men who let their ties flap around in the wind or while walking are not properly dressed. Unless of course, if they use tie tack or other invisible tie stays.

i agree. not all of the trendy rules need to be followed like the gospel truth...
