Suit Your Style With These Tips On Wearing A Stud Cufflink

Learning to look like a gentleman, and impress everyone with your style. Stud cufflinks are just the thing to compliment your suit or tuxedo. These cufflinks first appeared in the 1600s, and men of royalty and wealth wore them. Then men began to wear them fashionably in the late 1800s and well into the 1900s. Coco Chanel is the main purveyor of stud cufflinks.

Stud cufflinks come in every color, style, and variety imaginable. When the 1950s emerged, gentlemen began to own many accessories. Men donned items such as the watch, ring, tie bar, cigarette case, lighter, money clip, and a collection of such cufflinks. Most of the shirts produced in the 1970s came with buttons and buttonholes. The cufflink trend went away to push in the counter culture movement. Men usually wear stud cufflinks at formal and semi-formal functions. Lately, men have worn cufflinks with casual wear. So wear stud cufflinks whenever you want. But make sure the suit or tuxedo has a stud hole to fit the cufflink and the occasion.

How To Wear A Stud Cufflink?

1. With your shirt on, pinch the cuffs of your sleeve together in the manner shown. You may be tempted to fold the edges of the cuffs together to form a cylinder or barrel shape.

2. Insert the cufflink through both holes in the shirt's cuff. The colored, decorative part of the cufflink (usually black or ivory), should face the outside when your arm is at your side. On the back side of the cuff, flip the bar to hold the cufflink in place.

3. On the backside of the cuff, flip the bar to hold the cufflink in place.

Conclusion

Stud cufflinks can be worn with either single cuffs, which look just like a regular buttoning dress shirt's cuffs but with holes on both sides of the opening, or with doubled-back “French” cuffs. French cuffs are done by folding the shirt cuff and then fastening it, creating a double-layered cuff.
