If you want to elevate your outfit with a pair of cufflinks, you’ll need a special shirt designed for cufflinks. This type of shirt features cuffs that allow them to be fastened with this refined accessory. Cufflinks are often overlooked — and that’s a shame. They are among the most elegant men’s accessories, capable of enhancing the formality of your outfit while showing that every detail has been carefully considered. They can only be worn with a cufflink shirt, and that’s exactly what we’ll be focusing on in this article. We invite you to read on!

What are cufflinks used for?

In the past, cufflinks had a purely practical function — they were simply used to fasten shirt cuffs. Even then, however, they were seen as a men’s decorative accessory. Cufflinks are a very subtle detail that doesn’t draw too much attention. You could consider them the male equivalent of jewelry, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to your outfit. To wear this accessory, you must choose a shirt designed for cufflinks.

Cufflink shirt – selection and purpose

Such a shirt, of course, cannot have buttons at the cuffs, since the cufflinks will serve that function and keep the cuffs in place. However, it should have openings (buttonholes) that allow the cufflinks to be inserted — and that’s exactly what sets cufflink shirts apart from all others. As for their specific appearance, it’s important to remember that this is a garment intended for formal occasions. They are typically white or in a neutral shade such as écru, and usually do not feature any patterns.

How to fasten a shirt with cufflinks?

When it comes to fastening a shirt with cufflinks, everything depends on the type of cuffs your shirt has. If they are classic cuffs, simply align the buttonholes on both layers of the cuff and insert the cufflink through them. If they are French cuffs, fold them back twice so that they end around the wrist area. If the holes align properly on top of one another, it means you've done it correctly. And that’s all there is to fastening a shirt with cufflinks!

Cufflink shirt – when to wear it?

Cufflinks are meant for special occasions that call for formal attire. While they are sometimes worn with just a shirt, the ideal outfit should include a suit, a jacket, or at least a vest. That alone tells us that cufflinks are certainly not part of a very casual look. However, they are perfect for occasions such as weddings, christenings, proms, New Year’s Eve balls, formal family gatherings, or — in exceptional cases — an important business meeting or a day at work where the highest level of dress code is expected. An ideal cufflink shirt for every occasion is available in our store:

Styling ideas

A cufflink shirt actually offers the same styling possibilities as any other shirt — the only difference is that it allows you to fasten cufflinks. However, it’s important to keep in mind that a cufflink shirt is suitable only for formal occasions. How should you wear it? Pair it with a suit or, if you prefer something slightly less formal, choose a sport jacket. If you’re in the mood to wear a vest, you can stop there or layer it under a matching jacket. Don’t forget a tie or bow tie, as well as a pocket square. For a safe and timeless option, go with a white linen pocket square. On your feet, opt for monk shoes or oxfords to complete the look.

How to choose the right cufflinks?

The more formal the occasion, the simpler and more subtle the cufflinks should be. In such cases, minimalist cufflinks in gold or silver are the most appropriate. You can match them either to your outfit or to your complexion. Gold cufflinks work best for darker skin tones, tanned skin, or those with golden or peach undertones. On the other hand, if your complexion is fair and pale, silver cufflinks will create a more harmonious look.

The same principle applies when choosing cufflinks to match the color palette of your outfit. Gold accessories pair well with warm tones, while silver complements cooler shades. For example, silver cufflinks will look great with a blue jacket, whereas gold cufflinks will harmonize better with a cufflink shirt in écru.
