Cuffinks?

[josephkirkpatrick]

I have a few shirts from burberry and ralph lauren that are french cuff. I think it looks really really sharp when worn formally (make sure you match the links to your watch, ie don't wear a gold watch and silver links). Also, I like them because some of them have 2 sets of slots to change the length of the sleeve. i like a shorter sleeve when i'm not wearing a jacket and a slightly longer sleeve when I am, to show the shirt.

As a general rule of elegance, wear links that maintain the style of your outfit. For example, square cufflinks are better with modern, "athletic" fit suits while oval and round go better with double-breasted and traditional wear. I wear round links with my kilt and rectangular with the suit.

Thanks for the advice, josephkirkpatrick. I would think that the gold to gold and silver to silver matching would also apply to the sporran, tie tack, or any other metal like chains and so on. Although there is a trend toward putting silver and gold on a single piece of jewlery...

Anyway I have the double slot sleves on my french cuffs. I think it's a nice feature. As I said in my other post, I'm going in to get cufflinks this upcoming weekend and the square and rounded advice is good to know.
* I ended up getting rectangular silver and black cufflinks.
