If you wear French cuff shirts, and we recommend that you do, then you'll need cuff links. Cuff links give you another opportunity to show off your personal style.As with everything in your wardrobe, opt for the best quality cuff links you can afford. Gold, silver, or platinum pairs, tasteful semi-precious jeweled sets, or silk knots are all good options.
Cuff links can be an expression of your interests and personal tastes: pastimes like gambling or golf; whimsical ones like subway tokens or typewriter keys; even monograms or insignias from fraternal organizations all are available to you. Be careful that they don't have too much"bling" — they should veer toward subtle and understated. If you have doubts about a particular pair, then grab the first hot woman you see and ask, "Are you feelin' these?" If she says "Yes," then there you go.
Cuff links start at around $25 and can easily escalate to $250 or more. But dig this -- you can get silk knots as inexpensively as $8 a pair and because they come in every color imaginable, they’re a stylish, affordable way to start. We recommend a few pairs in whatever price range you are comfortable. |
