HOW TO WEAR CUFFLINKS

- Rotate the backing clasp on the cufflink to make a “T” shape, so the backing is parallel to the cufflink stem.
- Fold the cuff of your shirt over so the two holes in your cuff are aligned.
- Push the backing end of the cufflink through the outside button hole.
- Pinch both ends of of your cuff together, and bring the outer cuff closer until you can push the cufflink through the holes in both layers of the cuff.
- Rotate the backing clasp to keep the cuffs in position.
Understanding how to wear cufflinkswith the right outfits is important if you’re interested in upgrading your fashion sense. Even the most elite fashionistas -- or fashionistos rather -- must consider how to wear cufflinks with their suit, tuxedo or work shirt. Most of our cufflinks fasten together using buttons, magnets or clasps. The specific type of cufflinks you’re wearing affect how you wear the cufflinks with your outfit. From black tie events to the blue collared work shirt, there are many opportunities in which you may find yourself wondering how to wear cufflinks.
WEARING CUFFLINKS FOR BLACK-TIE EVENTS
Special black-tie events are one of the more common scenarios where you may want to wear cufflinks. If you’re looking for something formal that doesn’t attract too much attention, you may be interested in wearing more subtle cufflinks, such as our collection of classic cufflinks. Dress shirts, such as tuxedo shirts and French cuff shirts, can be fastened with a matching set of cufflinks and studs.
HOW TO WEAR CUFFLINKS FOR FORMAL OCCASIONS
When it’s time to attend a more formal occasion, you should opt for choosing a cufflink set that compliments, and is visible when wearing, your formal attire.
First, select a dress shirt and jacket. Next, put on the jacket over your dress shirt and make sure your cuffs extend slightly beyond the length of jacket sleeve when folded. Then, stick a cufflink through the two holes in each cuff to fasten them in place. Finally, your cufflinks should be slightly visible while wearing a formal jacket.
If you’re wearing a suit with navy blue tie, you might consider a pair of Silver and Blue Catseye Cufflinks or some high-end sterling blue enamel knot cufflinks.
WEARING CUFFLINKS WITH TUXEDOS
There comes a time when every man must wear a tuxedo. If you’re wondering how to wear cufflinks with a tuxedo, the answer is pretty straightforward. You’ll want to add some classic silver or metallic accents to your tuxedo and cufflinks are the perfect accessory to make that happen. By adding just a bit of extra flare, you’ll achieve that bold high-fashion look while still leveraging your own personal style. Our collection of mens luxury cufflinks, such as a pair of yellow gold diamond cufflinks by Armenta, make excellent additions to your tuxedo. Tuxedo shirts require both cufflinks and studs to be worn properly.

White tie events are a bit different than other formal occasions. These events tend to be a bit stricter when it comes to formality and tradition. Typically, these events have a dress code you’re expected to follow. If you’re wondering how to wear cufflinks to a white-tie event, the first thing to check is if there are specific dress codes listed in the invitation.
