Although not as diverse as women's clothing, men also have magic weapons to decorate themselves, such as cufflinks. Cufflinks are one of the most important accessories in men's clothing.
In addition to the actual functions of fixing the sleeve position and beautifying the clothes, it also shows its status and even entered the field of collection. It is called the individual collection of fashionable men.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, almost all buttons were used by men. This situation did not change until the middle and late 19th century. Therefore, the manufacturers of shirts and tuxedos have contributed the most to the development of cufflinks. In the 1840s, along with the Industrial Revolution came the golden age of button production. More and more clothes have cufflinks that match their style, and their prices have been greatly increased due to the high-end cufflinks. A large part of the high-value collections today are works from that era.
All natural and man-made materials are used in cufflinks, from precious metals, gems, pearls and ivory to ceramics, resins and celluloid.
If you are not from a historical point of view, but from a practical point of view, as long as you want to be more eye-catching in details, then you can choose cuffs. Men's clothing as formal wear is actually quite rigid, and has hardly developed much in the past few decades.
And in contrast to women who can use a lot of accessories to decorate, men's formal wear can only show a few parts such as tie clips and cufflinks, except for a tie that can be turned upside down.
Unfortunately, the tie clip is not very acceptable to French gentlemen. The size and shape of the cufflinks have become a better performance platform, and the number of cufflinks can also add some variables to the design. It is also important that the cufflinks are hidden on the edges of the cuffs, unlike the tie clip that exists in the central visual focal point of the tie, so it appears more reserved and restrained. Even if the cufflink design is more fancy, it will not cause damage to the image.
Of course, there is a limit to using cufflinks, that is, a shirt with French double-folded cuffs must be used. Although some manufacturers have introduced dual-purpose cuffs, which can be used with buttons or additional cufflinks, it is not recommended to choose such cuffs, because such cuffs are single-stacked, and the hardness is not as good as double-stacked, so it is difficult to show the unique style of French cuffs.
