Over the
years, custom cufflinks have become part of every man's collection of
accessories. Not only do custom cufflinks look great when you really want to
dress up your suit but they are also really hip to wear on any given outing.
Custom cufflinks
come in various levels of formality in terms of custom cufflink build. Let’s start with the least formal to the
most formal in terms of cufflink build:
Cufflink
#1 – It’s
very common and inexpensive. They are in a playful colour and this would be
something that a lot of guys love especially the young men. It adds a bit of
colour to his wardrobe, helps him stand out a bit and at the same time, one can
purchase quite a few of them.
Cufflink
#2 – This
cufflink is the one that you’ll probably see most often. You can have a choice
of pewter, silver or gold.
It is
actually two separate pieces, so we have the hinge part that moves and that has
been attached to the piece of jewellery. Most cufflinks you see out there are
going to be this style.
Cufflink
#3 – This
style is technically more formal and that’s because it has no moving parts and
usually made from a precious metal. This one’s made from silver and its whole
design is to be able to go through the hole and hold it on both ends without
having any moving parts.
Cufflink
#4 – This
one’s unique. This actually I had it made by a craftsman. It’s got a very
unique design. You would even argue perhaps that this one isn’t as formal as
cufflink #3, but I put it here because this basically can become an heirloom
since it’s a one of a kind piece.
The four
levels have been broken up for you to get a better overview of custom cufflinks.
There are various purposes why you wear a pair of custom cufflinks:
1. To fasten your
shirt cuffs
This is
the single most obvious reason why you need custom cufflinks, unless you roll
up your sleeves whenever you put on any shirt.
2. Real men
accessorise themselves
Accessories
do make the look on men. You do not need to have a fanciful pair of cufflinks,
but let's say if your outfit is rather monochromatic or seems like one colour, a
pair of metallic custom
cufflinks with some crystals will help break the monotony.
3. Not all cufflinks
are created equal
Not all
cufflinks that look expensive are priced sky-high. They can be both affordable
and eye-catching cufflinks. You don't have to break the bank to look great.
4. Dress to impress
Be it
your job interview or your dinner date, cufflinks can be the real game-changer.
Choosing the right pair of cufflinks can make you look more professional and
clinch that dream job of yours.
5. Form and Function
We have
seen cufflinks that look great, but how about cufflinks that looks great and
have a practical use as well? Such as watch
cufflinks that can tell time.
6. Wear them on any
day
Cufflinks
need not be just for the office on work days, it can be on a casual dress-down
Friday, your buddy's wedding dinner reception.
7. Look wealthy, feel
wealthy
Cufflinks
can make one look wealthy, and some may even say that looking wealthy gets you
preferential treatment. It is just natural that you are judged by how you
dress.
8. Sentimental value
Put on
that pair of cufflinks that you wore during your wedding march, or the vintage
18k gold pair of cufflinks that was passed down from your dad for your 21st
birthday.
