Think about it – when else can a man wear a piece of jewelry that's both functional and ornamental?

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. We believe that anyone can wear cufflinks with jeans, you just have to be smart about it. The guidelines below will help you best wear cufflinks with denim: Unless trousers are custom tailored to stay securely in placewith side adjusters, suspenders ( bracesin the UK) are always worn with a tuxedo.Modern cufflinks come in a wide range of choices. In fact, you can even support your favourite sports team wearing bespoke cufflinks. Gunmetal: A darker metal that’s an alloy of zinc, tin, and copper. Makes for a contemporary, masculine look. Mother-of-Pearl: A glossy material that comes from seashells, mother-of-pearl is often used for buttons on high-end dress shirts. As a cufflink, it’s a great dressy option and works well for formal events. 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. Let’s say you’re an attorney who’s trying a serious case. You’d be well-advised to not wear, say, the Spongebob Squarepants cufflinks your son bought you for your birthday, but rather some simple metal ones in silver or gold.

Titanium: A highly durable, grey-ish metal, titanium makes for a more subdued cufflink than silver or gold. Its durability lends itself well to engraving and etching. To fasten the cuff, the holes on both side of the cuff opening are lined up, the cufflink is inserted through so that the post runs all the way through all the holes, and the link is then set into its closed position. Next, you want to pinch the two open edges of the shirt cuff together, so that the inside fabric is “kissing” each other. “This is a very important step and you want to be sure you get this one right,” Stolch explains. “The two open edges should line up with one other, where both sides of the inner cuff are touching and not overlapping.” Barrel cuff shirts, which form the lion’s share of men’s dress shirts available on the market, do not take cufflinks. Chain Link Cufflinks have two heads (usually identical) connected by a short length of fine chain. This creates a slightly looser fastening than other styles, with visible decoration on both sides of the closed buttonholes.Note that silk knots are sometimes quite difficult to get through the buttonholes of a shirt cuff. Just keep at it! Personalized cufflinks make great gifts. If you’re looking for cufflinks that have personal meaning, this is the way to go. Any jeweler can monogram metal cufflinks, and lots of cufflink artisans can craft pairs using personal items: photos of relatives, small hand-me-downs, and other types of things.
