New Rules for Cufflinks<\/h1>\n

For generations, well-dressed\u00a0men have been wearing cufflinks. Today, modern wearers benefit from changing styles and updated trends. \u00a0One example of this is the rule that once stated cufflink-wearers must wear a jacket. \u00a0Thankfully, that\u2019s changed, and it\u2019s become acceptable to wear cufflinks without a jacket. This allows the cufflinks to be worn in more casual situations and with more laid-back clothing options, such as\u00a0jeans!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are All Shirts Equal?<\/h1>\n

For someone who hasn\u2019t ever worn cufflinks before, the question of whether a shirt is suitable may seem strange, or even a little pretentious. \u00a0But when picking your shirt, you really must be\u00a0careful. Since buttons are quite different from cufflinks, the type of cuff\u00a0you choose can\u00a0dictate the type of fastener you need to\u00a0use.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Barrel Cuff<\/h3>\n

Most men\u2019s dress shirts sold today come with buttons on the cuffs. \u00a0This type of sleeve is called the barrel cuff and comes with either one button or two. \u00a0The two button double-fold cuff (known as the cocktail cuff or Portofino) was made famous by the superspy, James Bond.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you want to wear cufflinks there are two other types of shirts that you\u00a0may choose from: french cuffs or single cuffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

French Cuffs<\/h3>\n

French cuffs are more formal than barrel cuffs. They have extra length that is folded back and fastened with cufflinks.<\/p>\n

This is\u00a0the style\u00a0of cuff that most people think of when they imagine a wedding or a semi-formal event.\u00a0But although this is a popular cuff for tuxedo shirts, this style has recently become more popular in the business world, particularly in Europe. \u00a0It\u2019s even become an acceptable option for everyday wear since it gives even something as laid back as jeans a more classy look. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a nice bonus, because it means you can wear your cufflinks<\/a><\/span> more often and to more places.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Single Cuffs<\/h3>\n

\"H96855300<\/a>Single cuffs are even more formal than French cuffs and are basically double cuffs without the fold, fastened with cufflinks. \u00a0Since they are so formal, they are typically only worn for white tie events and are a preferred option for black tie events. \u00a0We have a wonderful selection of tuxedo sets<\/a><\/span>\u00a0that will take your look up another notch.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, What Should You Choose?<\/h1>\n

Although some shirts that you purchase may allow you to wear either option, ultimately, if you want to wear cufflinks, you\u2019ll need to make sure your shirt has holes in the cuffs rather than having only buttons. \u00a0If you aren\u2019t sure how to wear your cufflinks with your french cuff shirt, the video below may be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cufflinks are a great way to show your style, and Cufflinks Depot offers a huge variety of styles, from casual<\/span> to designer<\/a><\/span>, and from novelty<\/a><\/span> to engravable<\/a><\/span>, for you to choose from. \u00a0With over 5000 products, and orders that ship the same day ordered, we want to help you look your best, no matter the occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n
