Cufflinks brighten things up

No Comments Share:

During the reign of Louis XIV shirt sleeves started to be fastened with boutons de manchette, or “sleeve buttons,” typically identical pairs of colored glass buttons joined together by a short, linked chain. Today opinion seems to be divided on the cuff link but to me cufflinks are an ideal way to brighten up a plain shirt to something that can ensure you stand out from the other men in the office.

The one bit of advice I will offer however is please stay away from novelty cufflinks shaped like Water Taps or  that decree that you are indeed the ‘ Number One Dad’ or something similar.

So here to steer you on the right path I have assembled a few of my current favorites
