Cufflinks are sometimes really hard to notice. Today, we prove that cufflinks for men (and other elements of men’s jewellery) deserve to be covered in an article. How to wear cufflinks and how to look your best on any occasion? Learn more!
In recent years we bid farewell to a hipster who escaped to the woods and doesn’t think of returning yet. Our fashion world has been graced with the presence of a gentleman, though. He always knows what to wear, but sometimes he struggles with accessories. With the return of the dandy, the interest in the art of men’s attire and grooming among men has increased exponentially.
One of the details, typical especially for the styles from almost a hundred years ago, are men’s cufflinks, and little dusty tie clips that should be restored to their rightful place.
Elegant cufflinks are scarcely seen on male wrists - that’s a shame! These accessories are not only practical (they protect the shirt cuffs from getting wet), but they are simply stunning. Discover a plethora of chic and one-of-a-kind cufflinks available in Vitkac.
Inventive cufflinks - Paul Smith and Etro
Men’s cufflinks, besides their pragmatic and distinctive properties, define a final touch of your look. By wearing extraordinary models, you can tell a story about yourself without actually using words. An offer of Paul Smith or Etro cufflinks on Vitkac.com showcases enamelled items shaped like cars (for car freaks), an aubergine (for hungry ones) or Etro’s four-leaf clovers for superstitious ones.

The designer and smart cufflinks can be utilised in your wedding suit (as a groom or a guest), and other private and formal occasions. We suggest less vocal silhouettes when attending formal banquets or galas.
Tasteful cufflinks - Lanvin, Versace and Burberry
A white tie look requires a chic approach. We suggest gold or silver cufflinks accentuated with subtle ornamentation. Among brands offering such designs are Lanvin, Versace and Burberry. The classic men’s cufflinks feature a round or rectangular shape.
Among them, however, are models both classy and loud that can easily be employed in a tuxedo without making a faux pas.
A head-turning addition to the tuxedo shirt will be snail-shaped cufflinks from Lanvin. The classic lovers will definitely indulge in models from Versace, Burberry and Hugo Boss.

How to wear cufflinks?
Take it easy: tying a tie causes more problems than putting on cufflinks. How to wear cufflinks? Here’s a simple step-by-step guide.
Extend your arm and fold your cuffs back. Make sure that the end edge of the cuff folds back to create a smooth lining. Pinch the two open edges of the shirt cuff together so the two edges lay flat, away from the wrist. At this point, the cufflink holes should be even and aligned.
Press your arm against you to keep the cuff layers in place, pass the cufflink through the opening of the outer layer so that the decorative face of the cuff is visible. You can smooth the fabric by holding the cuff with your two fingers. Pass the fabric through the end of the cufflink and secure it on the cuff. Simple, isn’t it?

Other types of men’s jewellery
Apart from men’s cufflinks and a watch for formal occasions, one shouldn't wear more accessories. But if you’re donning smart-casual ensembles on a daily basis, you’re more than welcome to embrace bold accessories.
When bossing a sporty blazer, you can opt for a phenomenal Bottega Veneta signet-like ring or a leather Saint Laurent bracelet. Jewellery worn with a suit should be minimalist and feature a simple, modern silhouette. Necklaces for men make for a bolder option, but they should be selected for way less formal social events. You’ll learn more about them here.
