Cufflinks: The most important part of your dress

Stepping into a room full of dressy people, a wish remains engraved on the walls of every heart, “May I stay the best-dressed and the most elegant all through the time.” So we tend to step the best foot forward in the best possible dressy attire. But what is a wear without the proper links? Yes, I exactly mean the buttons and cufflinks which though remain to be tiny part of the apparel tend to draw the minutest attention of the hovering eyes.

Cufflinks, which form the joining hands for the cuffs may seem quite less significant if fashionable parts of apparel are what we are looking for, but on the contrary they add a reasonable amount of contribution to the fashion statement. A man’s cufflinks peeping out from beneath his tuxedo sleeves not only adds glamour to his wear but also define his elegance. These tiny pieces of creativity don’t just serve for men’s shirts; they even join hands to add a style quotient to women’s shirts and cuffed sleeves of other dressy apparels.

If we look at cufflinks as just the pieces joining cuffs, we’re surely under-estimating their importance. They define style and personality. Cufflinks are decorative fasteners are produced by designers for suiting different needs of differently styled cuffs. They are classified depending on their serving purposes. Some serve the joining purposes for single cuffs and some for double cuffs or French cuffs. Some of these are called “kissing” when the links join the cuffs with the ends pinched together and some are called “barrel style” when the cuffs get joined with the ends over-lapping the other.


These tiny cufflinks are not just produced at times; they are designed and presented as pieces of jewels. Some links are studded with precious stones making them little wonders of creativity and expensive!

You can find a variety of these made to suit the style of individuals – they are available in designs like contemporary, novelty, traditional, utility and humorous too. If you can have a good search, you’ll find links designed like crowns, skulls, hearts, dragons, alphabets, flowers and polo players in action too. Not just for men, there are designs available for women too. After all we all need links. This fashion piece is nothing recent to be frank, they date way back to middle ages and a number of designers have lifted this novel little link’s fashion quotient through years. As for the choices, you have a number of leading brands as options.

Cufflinks have had very few advertisements to get promoted. But that hasn’t really stopped its use or sale. People will wear shirts always and will continue to have cuffs on their sleeves. So this one piece of fashion will never go out of fashion.
