What are cufflinks?
cufflinks are objects of male jewelry that are used in elegant shirts instead of buttons on the sleeves. A relatively recent innovation in male clothing, buttons replaced the old -fashioned tie, which previously held men's shirts sleeves closed on the wrist, and were replaced by buttons of the cuff.
Cufflinks are still fashionable for formal wear, and require a shirt with French cuffs. These are the ends of the sleeve that are longer than the arms on the wrist, so that they do not participate, fall on the joints. The sleeve is folded back by one rotation and then connected to the buttons “button holes”, here is an incorrect name, because there is one hole and no button on each side. Cufflinks may have themes on both or only on one side, and the non -derived side is a mechanism - usually a rod that turns horizontally to prevent the knob from sliding. If they wear cufflinks with only one decorated side, such as a jewel or monogram, decorateThe party goes to the outside. This means that with the hands on the sides, the decorated side of the cuff should be visible and hidden on the side of the mechanism.
When choosing clothes, it is important that the jacket of the dress adapts to French cuffs if you plan to wear a formal shirt with cufflinks. The jacket sleeve must be spacious enough to keep the cuff sleeve to be crushed straight. Otherwise, when you "shoot your cuffs" - a male preening gesture that aligns the jackets of the sleeves and sleeves shirts - you risk your cuffs will appear from the sleeves and the sleeves will be too narrow to retreat.
cufflinks can be obtained in various materials, styles and prices. While the jewelry on the cuff is unreal, very large diamonds could be a set of organized crime. Monograms are always correct. Fanciffs cufflinks with trade emblems are always popular-for example T-rhombusCE for architects. Organizations, cottages and brotherhood often supply their members of the cufflinks indicating their association. And of course, cuffs with presidential seals are always symbols of the state.
