An inconspicuous accessory, cuff links add a touch of sophistication to your business look. We’ve selected a few that will significantly up your game
Ralph Lauren Martin Glass Cuff links
Men often complain that there’s not much they can do to dress up formal wear. Not true. While there are a few rigid parameters, especially when it comes to choices within formal wear, there is a lot that a man can do to stand out in a crowd of formal wear simply by accessorising his ensemble well. Something as benign as the right wristwatch, lapel pin or cufflinks can enhance even the plainest attire.
Cufflinks especially reflect a certain vintage charm, and often modern men simply forget to include them in their business wear. Nevertheless, the metallic gleam of a jewel against a shirtsleeve conveys an understated power and sophistication, which automatically commands the respect and admiration of one’s peers.
A simple rule while donning these twins—keep it subtle. Excessively chunky and heavy cuffs can look Mafioso and bring to mind images of pub landlords. While buying the right pair requires some thought and a planned investment, cufflinks can also serve as male heirlooms that can be passed down for generations to come. Keeping that in mind, we’ve selected a few for you
