Onyx Tone Silver Tuxedo Cufflinks & Stud Set

Product Information

Gents don’t often get the chance to make a splash at the office – after all, there’s only so many ways you can style a navy or charcoal suit. In contrast, cufflinks provide an opportunity to stand out from the crowd. The only exception to this is if the wedding is a semi-formal one, in which case you’ll want to wear your classic tuxedo cufflinks. As a rule, I only ever wear cufflinks with a French cuff shirt. They tend to have a weight and formality which feels in keeping with the tradition of this sartorial accoutrement. However, this isn’t the only option.

On the other hand, more casual occasions, like dinner dates or parties, allow you to wear cufflinks that show a bit more personality. Knowing the difference and understanding your audience is key in making the decision about what cufflinks to wear, and indeed whether or not to wear them. Your best bet is to have an idea as to what you’re looking for and ask the maker if (s)he can accommodate your request.

Weddings: Formal occasions like weddings are the perfect opportunity to show some personality in your styling choices, by incorporating interesting details and accents. Elevate your classic suit with a strategic dress shirt and cufflink-choice, playing with color, material and design in a way that showcases your unique character. But FIRST – you have to know how to wear them and understand the various cufflink types, materials, styles so you don't buy junk but instead invest in future heirlooms you can pass onto your kids!

Gunmetal: A darker metal that’s an alloy of zinc, tin, and copper. Makes for a contemporary, masculine look. Belts are not an option because they would cause the cummerbund or waistcoat to bunch up. This is not just a matter of tradition but also of style because they ensure that the trouser waistband does not slip below the bottom of the waistcoat, they align the trousers’ pleats with the waistcoat’s points and they avoid the extra waistline bulk that would result from wearing a belt. In conclusion – there are no hard and fast rules. Wear cufflinks when you want to wear cufflinks. The only limits are your collection of suitable shirts – and, of course, your budget.

Who says your tuxedo has to be boring or have the same old typical look? If you are attending a wedding, of course you need to adhere to the groom's chosen styling. If you are the groom this may be the one choice you have for yourself and your groomsmen. Choosing a cufflink set for your wedding can be both about personality and individuality. Push the closure through the two inside panels. Be sure that the inside panels are flat and flush against the outside ones; do not curve it underneath the outside panels as if you were buttoning a barrel cuff shirt.Cufflinks represent one of the relatively rare opportunities in which men get to wear jewellery and truly dress up. The forerunner to the modern cufflink appeared in the early 1500’s, when prominent men began wearing their shirts with ruffled wristbands tied together with strings. These are fastened by setting the toggle in its closed position, so that there is a straight post descending from the underside of the head. The overlapping or “barrel” style looks more slim and business-like than the more ornamental “kissing” look. Neither are wrong, but the kissing approach has traditionally been considered better suited to the ornamental nature of cufflinks. There’s a bit of heated debate as it relates to cufflinks with jeans. Men generally fall into two camps on this one: those who take no issue with wearing cufflinks with jeans, and those who think they’re too dressy to be paired with such a casual item.

Insert the cufflink closure through the two outside cuff panels, making sure that the cufflink’s face is visible on the outside of the cuff. Tuxedos require cufflinks, and the simpler, the better. Onyx and mother-of-pearl are your go-to options, but be sure that your cufflinks match the shirt studs.Though not an imperative, definitely try to match your cufflink with the material of your watch and ring if possible, giving your outfit a sense of cohesion. And it almost doesn’t need to be said, but just in case: always wear two cufflinks, never one. If you lose one, frame the other, put it on the mantlepiece or smelt it down to its raw materials – it’s better this way. 3. Knots, studs and the everyday cufflinks Barrel cuff shirts, which form the lion’s share of men’s dress shirts available on the market, do not take cufflinks. Chain: The visible part of the cufflink is worn on both sides of the cuff while the chain connects these two parts and ensures movement is not restricted. Cufflinks are amazing! Yes, they are. If you think about it, when can a man wear a jewellery piece that is both ornamental and functional? If you haven’t tried wearing cufflinks, well you are missing out on a lot! Cufflinks have long been traditionally associated with men’s formal or semiformal wear such as a tuxedo ensemble. Others refer to these versatile accessories as “formal jewellery.” They are great if you want to add a personal touch to your tuxedo, cufflink shirt or suit.
