BlueKM, cufflinks are worn on shirts which have link cuffs, there are two types of link cuffs, either single or french/double:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuff to read more.. the shirt on top is a french cuffed shirt while the bottom is a single.. ![]() This post has been edited by jind86: Apr 10 2009, 02:10 AM |

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

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 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.

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.This post has been edited by Fusion[eX]: Apr 11 2009, 10:42 PM |

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. |

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. |
