Cufflinks - elegant, stylish and a real statement

Cufflinks by Seidensticker

Whether at business events, over a good meal or at celebrations such as weddings, the suit and accessories play an important role. Although cufflinks are no longer necessary with most modern shirts, they are a sign of style and elegance and are still very popular for precisely this reason. If you are aiming for a particularly stylish appearance, you should choose the right cufflinks.

What exactly is a cufflink?

A cufflink is a small and very discreet accessory used to fasten the cuff, i.e. the thicker layer of fabric at the end of the shirt sleeve. Cufflinks can be made from a wide variety of materials and come in different shapes and functions. A cufflink always consists of three elements:

• Face: This is the visible front side of the cufflink. It can feature many different designs.
• Connector: This element is inserted through the buttonholes of the cuff and thus holds both parts of the cuff together.
• Toggle: The lower part of the cufflink is referred to as the toggle. It keeps the cufflink in position and ensures that it cannot slip or get lost.

How do cufflinks work?

Despite their different designs, cufflinks have only one function. They replace the normal buttons on a shirt sleeve and fasten it in the desired position. Depending on the type of shirt and the length of the connector, the shirt sleeve can therefore be worn tighter or looser. When the arms are hanging down, the decorative face of the cufflink always faces the person opposite you.

Overview of different types of cufflinks

Thanks to the very long history of cufflinks, many different variants have become established over time. We would therefore like to give you an overview of the different types and mechanisms available on the market.

Cufflink with toggle closure

The toggle of the cufflink can be moved parallel to the connector. This makes it easier to thread the cufflink through the cuff. Once in position, the connector is turned by 90 degrees, creating a stable and secure fastening. Both bullet back and whale tail closures are widely used variants.

Cufflink with stud or button closure

In this classic variant, the individual elements of the cufflink are not movable. At the end, it has a button or a stud that must be guided through the buttonhole with a little skill. Afterwards, the cufflink sits perfectly due to its shape. Handling these cufflinks does require some practice, but they are extremely durable and true classics.

Cufflink with chain connection

In these classic cufflinks, the face and toggle are connected by a fine chain. This variant offers the advantage that both the face and the toggle can be designed equally elegantly. However, you do need some practice in handling these cufflinks. In addition, due to their design, they offer a slightly looser hold compared to the other types.

Convertible cuff or French cuff: what is the difference?

To be able to wear cufflinks at all, the shirts you choose must have a suitable cuff finish. The French cuff, also called a turnback cuff, is the classic variant. It has a cuff section that is twice as long and must be folded back accordingly when putting on the shirt. The cufflink is then passed through the four layers of fabric and fastened.
A convertible cuff, on the other hand, is a flexible alternative. This cuff has two buttons already attached and also offers a buttonhole for the cuff. This allows you to choose whether or not you want to wear cufflinks with this shirt.

When do you wear cufflinks?

You can wear cufflinks for a wide variety of occasions. Many men, for example, choose only shirts that require cufflinks and therefore wear them almost every day. But also for special occasions such as a wedding, a visit to the opera or official celebrations, cufflinks are a popular accessory. If you have a well-kept selection of different cufflinks and other accessories, you can choose them to suit the occasion and thus underline your personal style. If you buy a few shirts with suitable buttonholes and have matching cufflinks to choose from, experience shows that you will prefer these shirts over time. After all, cufflinks are comfortable to wear and still the perfect accessory for the sophisticated gentleman.

Should I wear cufflinks to a wedding?

Cufflinks at weddings are a long-standing tradition and are usually included by most tailors when planning wedding suits. The great advantage is that you can coordinate the cufflinks very well with the wedding and the desired decoration. For example, if you have chosen blue elements as the color theme for your wedding, these colors do not only have to appear in the invitation, on the tables and in the flowers. You can also choose your cufflinks in the corresponding shade. The father of the bride and the best man can also follow this color scheme. This makes cufflinks a popular gift for these people, helping to create a harmonious overall look at the wedding.

Which material can be chosen for cufflinks?

Choosing the right materials depends on many different factors. Popular options include cufflinks made of:

• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum
• Mother-of-pearl
• Stainless steel
• Silk

When choosing the material, you should always keep your other accessories in mind. It is ideal if the individual accessories can be coordinated with one another and, for example, you choose the cufflinks to match the belt buckle and tie clip. The occasion can also be decisive. At a private celebration, stainless steel may be the material of choice, while at a public event or a ball you should rather choose cufflinks made of precious metal. Thanks to the wide selection, you will always be perfectly dressed.
