How to Wear Cufflinks

Cufflinks are no longer reserved for strictly formal black-tie occasions or weddings. Instead, more and more men are enhancing their style by using quirky novelty cufflinks in a casual setting. That’s exactly why cufflinks are becoming a versatile wardrobe staple for the modern man.

The real key to wearing cufflinks is finding the right shirt. Because not every shirt is suitable for cufflinks. You need to find a shirt that doesn’t have buttons at the cuffs. French cuff shirts (aka double cuffs) have historically been associated with cufflinks but contemporary designers are making shirts more compatible with cufflinks.

Now let’s get into the step-by-step breakdown of how to wear cufflinks:

1. If you have a French cuff shirt, you will need to align both holes on each side.
2. Insert the back of the cufflink through the holes.
3. The final step involves rotating the cufflink backing into a horizontal position.
4. Exactly the same process applies to other shirt types, but it should be easier than doing a French cuff because you are not dealing with double cuffs.

You see! It’s not that hard. You don’t even need to do it in front of a mirror!
