Silver and pearl cufflinks are a classic, all-purpose cufflink combination.
According to Suit Society writer Lance Miller, "A man's jewelry usually consists of a wedding ring, a few exclusive time pieces, perhaps a quality pen and a few pairs of cufflinks." Whether crafted of precious stones, gold, metal, or pearl, cufflinks convey a message of class and style to passers-by. Made popular in England more than 300 years ago, the cufflink is now a regular item in the wardrobe of a well-dressed man.
There are sartorial traditions pertaining to cufflinks, but modern fashion allows for more leisurely wear of this classic trimming. Now, a person only needs to apply a few simple tips make cufflinks work.
Instructions
1. Choose the right cufflinks for the occasion. Since cufflinks range in style from casual to formal, it's necessary to select a suitable pair. Miller states that silver or pearl cufflinks work for most events, but points out cufflinks "with a photo of your pet in them which you can wear to Disney World."
2. Ready the cufflink for wear by swiveling the bar into a straight vertical position.
3. Line up the cufflink holes of the French cuff for insertion.
4. Insert the bar of the cufflink into the hole and twist into position. Open the swivel bar of the cufflink and lock it into place. The bar should be invisible from the bar of the French cuff.
5. Adjust the position of the cufflinks to your satisfaction, ensuring a firm fit.
