It\u2019s spring time and love is in the air. \u00a0So is Senioritis, graduation, and PROM! \u00a0Yes, prom season is in full swing with seniors across the country dressing up in their finest to party the night away. \u00a0Young men everywhere will don a snazzy suit (and maybe even a bowtie) and head out to impress the world. \u00a0But the truly stylish guys know that you\u2019re not fully dressed without a swanky stud set.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Stud Set?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Many men don\u2019t think about stud sets unless they\u2019re in a wedding: a groom or groomsman. \u00a0However, stud sets are a great way to pull an outfit together. \u00a0A stud set is a decorative fastener that fits onto a buttonhole on the front of a pleated shirt, or onto the starched bib of a stiff-front shirt. \u00a0These shirts are specially made to use studs rather than (or in addition to) regular buttons. \u00a0Because of this, shirts with stud fasteners have a little extra glam factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stud sets were first used in the mid-19th century, because some shirt fronts were too stiff to close with buttons. Today, they are usually worn in semi-formal and formal settings with heavily starched shirts. Stud sets can be made of any metal, and they\u2019re often inlaid with a precious or semi-precious stone or pearl. You can see our entire collection here<\/strong><\/span>. \u00a0They can even <\/span>be engraved like the ones in this collection<\/b><\/a><\/span>. <\/b>\u00a0We even have fun stud sets that are perfect for a themed prom (like the skull & crossbones pictured above).<\/p>\n

Styling Your Stud Set<\/span><\/h1>\n

If you\u2019re wearing a beautiful stud set, you\u2019ll want to make sure you pick out a stylish pair of cufflinks to accentuate your look (if your stud set doesn’t already come with matching ones). \u00a0Try to match the metals of your sets for continuity, but feel free to be more playful with your cufflinks if that\u2019s your personality. \u00a0You can even match your cufflinks to your date\u2019s outfit, if you\u2019d like. \u00a0Or, if the prom is extra formal, stick with something simple and classic.<\/span><\/p>\n
