actually im not into cufflinks as well but id have to disagree with your meaning on the part where you said its just a small part of your appearance, yes it is a small accessory, but when it comes to formal menswear, they are unlike the ladies where there are so many things to play around with the trend, formal menswear on the other hand are meant to be universal, there's a very small gap on what is considered the "standard".. which is why when you see a black tie event, the guys look all the same, it is only these small things which we are able to play around with like the pocket square and of course cufflinks, you may feel no one notices these small things in a person's dressing, but trust me its the small things that play a big role..

BlueKM, cufflinks are worn on shirts which have link cuffs, there are two types of link cuffs, either single or french/double:

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..

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.

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've had an admiration for shirts with cuffs and am also interested in cufflinks.

let's say, I want to test some of those shirts and cuffs on myself, but I want to start on a budget to see whether the look is suitable for my daily work wear. where would you guys suggest a newbie like me to go to shop?

thanks gents.
