Cufflinks are pieces of jewelry used to fasten shirt cuffs. They can be made of various materials, including glass, leather, stone, and precious metal. These tuxedo accessories are more than a stylish way to hold cuffs together; they also can be used to express yourself. Here’s how to make the most of these fashion pieces. 

How to Wear Cufflinks

1. Choose Ones That Are Easy to Put On

Cufflinks, like all jewelry, come in various sizes, shapes, and styles, some of which can make closing them rather difficult. Select a cufflink only large enough to line up with the cuff holes, weave through the openings, and flip or slide closed.

Toggle and push cufflinks are simple and effective to use, especially for new users. Toggle pieces have a decorative end and a movable toggle to connect on the other end.

2. Consider Mixing Metals

When it comes to tuxedo accessories, cufflinks offer one of the best ways to express yourself. You might think that they need to be identical, but mixing the materials can make a statement while remaining stylish.

For example, one cufflink can be brass and the other silver. If you’re wearing a gold watch, you can opt for silver cufflinks. 

3. Match Them With Your Outfit

When paired with the right suits, cufflinks can add a complementary touch to your appearance. For example, silver pairs well with gray or blue jackets.

You can also match the cufflinks to subtle hues found in your tie or shirt. Gold goes well with a tie that has orange or green stripes.
