When it comes to formal occasions, women have an infinite variety of gowns and accessories to choose from
. Men have the standard suit or tuxedo. What better way for a man has to differentiate himself from the others than to put on a pair of cufflinks? Cufflinks can add an elegant and stylish statement to a man's attire as well as injecting a bit of personality into it.
For the first time cufflink wearer, the task can seem tricky. After following these easy steps, you will become a devoted fan of cufflinks and you can welcome a whole new world of personality into your wardrobe.
Wear the right shirt. You need a shirt with French cuffs. This style of shirt has extra long cuffs with no buttons and holes on each side of the cuff.
Fold the cuffs back so that they form a neat and even line at the end of the sleeves.
Hold the cuffs of the sleeve together away from your wrist. This is different from the overlapping cuffs on sleeves with sewn buttons.
Line up the holes of the cuffs.
Insert the cufflink through all the holes and secure it in place. The way you secure the cufflinks will differ depending on the style of cufflink. For different styles you can read my other article "Types of Cufflinks" or visit CuffSmart.com.
Make sure that the decorative side of the cufflink is facing outwards so that when your arms lay at your side the decorative end is being displayed.
Here are some additional some tips:
Make sure you wear cufflinks that are appropriate for the occasion.
Be careful not to wear cufflinks that are too casual for a formal event or too flashy for a casual one.
Cufflinks make perfect groomsmen gifts. You can get ones that match the wedding colors or ones that matches each man's personality.
