[Neovingian]

...Spinning cufflanks....I'm feelin that..LOL!!!!...has anyone tried these cuff links combinations:

- Sporting cuff links on a jacket without a shirt underneath?
- Sporting cuff links on a short sleeve shirt?
- The ultimate set up....sporting cuff links with no shirt or no jacket, just have the links stuck to your wrist like a piercing.

Rise from the dead, topic!

Just a few questions:

1) What kind of dress shirt will cufflinks go with? I have the ones with buttons on the cuffs so I'd assume that I have to buy the shirts without this?
2) Where are these shirts to be bought?
3) Being in a full suit is the proper use for cufflinks?

Just wondering because I just received some Harry Rosen cufflinks for free a while ago and I'd like to wear them around.

1. French Cuffs. French cuffs has sleeves that are meant to be folded over. The sleeve/hand part is very large compared to a normal dress shirt.
2. Anywhere that sells dress shirts.
3. Only wear cuff links if you have jacket and tie. If you are lacking either, wear silk ties. Try to match the cuff link with the watch metal. Too many people look like fools because they don't know how to dress themselves.

ideally: Cuff link metal should match Watch metal & Belt buckle, and Watch strap (if leather) should match belt leather and shoe color.

Thanks for the replies! hughjazz mentioned French Cuffs being large in comparison to the wrist, and it has to be folded over, do you mean folded back so it seems shorter, or just so that it has to be folded a certain way to be cuffed?

certain way to be cuffed. The each french cuff has four holes. The cuff needs to be folded once in half and then the holes need to line up with each other so that the cufflink can hold the cuff.

I personally prefer the look of a french cuff shirt to the traditional cuff shirt.

Matching belt color and shoes is a must.

Oh okay, so there needs to be a fold and the two holes need to line up, seems easy. I'm considering buying one for my business conference tomorrow and Friday.

But you mean matching belt and shoes as in.. they must be the same colour? Because if that's what you're talking about, I've been doing that since I've been 14. Looked odd to me otherwise!

French cuffs are also called double-cuffs, this means that the cuff of these shirts are twice as long as a normal shirt. In order to wear these shirts properly, you have to fold the extra cuff back over itself (towards your body) and close it with a cuff-link.

Match the color of your belt with the color of your shoes. ie. Brown leather belt = brown shoes. If you have been doing that since you were a teenager, then good for you, because alot of people that I see everyday have no idea about clothes.

If you don't have a jacket your have 4 sytle options.

1.) Use a Monkey fist (silk knot, operates like a cufflink)
2.) Use double button solution....usually comes with shirt
3.) wear them like a normal cuff
4.) roll em up.
