No matter where you get married, how many people attend, what kind of reception you have – you want to love how you look the day you get married. You will look at those photos for the rest of your life! The details on what the groom, groomsmen, and fathers wear can really make you and those in your wedding party feel extra special on your big day.

Tie Bars or Tie Clips

The addition of a well designed tie bar or tie clip really elevates the look of the chosen tie. Holding the tie in place also looks more formal, disallows windswept photos, and makes a great gift for your wedding party.

              Hidden Message Tie Bars – a perfect gift for your groom

              Engraved Tie Bars – Personalized, makes an unforgettable gift for all.

              Favorite Characters – Themed wedding? Adds that fun detail without going overboard

Pocket Square

You can go two ways with pocket squares – matching the tie or coordinating. Matching for weddings is appropriate as they usually complete the color scheme or theme of the wedding. Get creative with which pocket square fold (try these!) you use!

             Best Pocket Square Holder – a simple gift that can be used over and over by the recipient and holds your desired fold.

             Theme addition – Here is another opportunity to add a pop of your theme, never going overboard.

Lapel Pins

Flowers are standard but not required for your wedding party. Lapel Pins come in various forms and add great detail (that can also be reworn). Get creative if you do have flowers, add the lapel into the boutonniere to add details, complete a theme, be a bit different then the other weddings you attend this year.

              Reminder that of your necktie, pocket square, and lapel – one should be plain/solid.

Engraved Cufflinks

If you look around our website at all, you know you can do sports teams, classic/formal, or favorite characters for everyones cufflinks for the wedding. A more personal touch is engraved cufflinks – their initials, an inside joke, special date, or photos.

              Initials – For the groomsmen really add that personal touch

              Wedding Date – The pair you wear as a gift from your bride will always feel special to you

              Photo Cufflinks – Special person missing from your big day? Wear a photo of them the entire day on your cufflinks to keep them close.

For any event the details matter. But for your wedding – they should feel like you and your partner at your best selves. Enjoy your day!

Did you just buy a stylish new tie and want to show it off? Or do you have an amazing tie collection, but looking to refresh your look? Create a new look with the Half Windsor Knot.

The Half Windsor Knot is a nearly symmetrical, medium-sized knot. It is best suited to professional occasions and semi-formal events such as interviews, conferences, networking events, graduation, holiday parties, etc. This knot works best with ties of medium to light-weight fabrics and is a great way to show off both bold designer ties and subtle classic ties when paired with a suit.

Follow these easy steps below. 

1. Drape the tie around your neck and position it so the end of the narrow side rests just above your belly button
2. Cross the wide end over the narrow end
3. Wrap the wide end under the narrow end
4. Bring the wide end up to the center, towards the neck loop
5. Drop the wide end through the neck loop
6. Cross the wide end over the front
7. Move the wide end up into the neck loop from underneath
8. Drop the wide end down through the loop just created in the front
9. Pull down on the wide end to tighten the knot. Slide the knot up and adjust for the perfect fit

Now that you are an expert at tying the Windsor Half Knot, be sure to shop our extensive collection of neckwear for classic essentials and the latest fashion trends. We recommend the bright colors from our Disney ties, bold patterns of the Marvel ties and silky fabrics from our classic ties for the Half Windsor Knot. Half Windsor Knot shown below in three of our new ties.

Do you want to learn the perfect knot that you can rely on every day? The Four-In-Hand knot is timeless and the must know knot for all men. It is easy to tie and its slender and tapered design works best with wide neckties made from heavy fabrics. The simplicity and versatility makes the Four-In-Hand an easy go-to for professionals.

Follow the steps below to learn how to tie this iconic knot.

1. Drape the tie around your neck and position it so the end of the narrow side rests just above your belly button
2. Cross the wide end over the narrow end
3. Wrap the wide end under the narrow end
4. Bring the wide end across the front of the narrow end
5. Move the wide end up into the neck loop from underneath
6. Drop the wide end down through the loop just created in the front
7. Pull down on the wide end to tighten the knot. Slide the knot up and adjust for the perfect fit

For your next business meeting, date night or networking event, pair your favorite button down shirt with a new tie from our thoughtfully curated collection of neckwear and use the Four-In-Hand knot. Add a shiny metal tie bar to really stand out.

This is always a dreaded subject, what should I wear to a wedding? People say that you can never be overdressed, but oh my that is wrong. But being underdressed might be worse. Luckily, we are here to help navigate you toward the best look that will give you the utmost confidence.

Below we will be giving you some tips on what to wear to a wedding based on 3 basic wedding dress codes.

Casual: A suit is not necessary, but a button up shirt is. Preferably a French cuff shirt because a casual wedding gives you the perfect opportunity to show off your fun new cufflinks. A tie is not necessary but if you do decide to wear one, choose something with personality, such as this Millennium Falcon Stripe Men's Tie or an Aladdin Lamp Scattered Navy Men's Bow Tie. Lastly top this whole look with your favorite 3D Fleur De Lis Lapel Pin for your wedding look. For your feet, do not go too fancy but also don’t wear crocs. A casual brown or black dress shoe will give off the perfect relaxed look.

Semi-formal: Semi-formal is all about the suit. Try for a light suit during summer and daytime weddings. Then a dark suit for evening receptions. Your button up shirt should be nice and simple. A white or other basic color French cuff shirt should do the job. Add a unique, yet simple pair of cufflinks like these Mother of Pearl Diamond Cufflinks or any of our other Ox and Bull Cufflinks. Again, a tie is optional. If you do choose to wear a tie make sure it is simple, such as the The Hector Tie . You can dress that up with our Etched Grid Tie Bar . Lastly for shoes, Oxfords or loafers are the perfect option to go with.

Formal: If the invite says Formal attire (or Black Tie), you need to really bring it. Maintaining an overall classy look is your main concern. The most appropriate option for formal is a black tuxedo. When you go all out with a Tuxedo, you need a high-quality Tuxedo shirt to wear underneath. A Silver and Mother of Pearl Stud Set and a White with White Trim Silk Pocket Square polish off the look. Ties are not good enough for formal, you will need a Black Formal Pinstripe Silk Bow Tie to match your tuxedo. Lastly, end your look with a pair of polished patent leather dress shoes.

No matter the dress code of the wedding, accessories are always a good option. For a Casual wedding you have more options to add your personality to your look. Attending in Semi-formal lets you add a fun look if you don’t get too crazy. Lastly, a formal look requires formal accessories to shine.

Get out your lucky pens, your spinners, your dice, or whatever you use to pick your sleepers. It is Tourney Time! Time do a minimal amount of research into what #12 seed has a cinderella’s chance to be the next Loyola-Chicago. For the next few weeks we get to hear about schools you've never heard of getting the chance to play on the big stage against big boys (Lipscomb, Iona), with the constant question of which #1 seed is going to fall first. For the sake of Virginia’s sanity hopefully it never sees the Retriever’s of UMBC again.

The greatness of March Madness and the NCAA Tournament is the mixture of schools that are playing just for appearance and recognition with the classic basketball powerhouses looking to hang another banner. Duke, Michigan State, North Carolina, and Kentucky are all there with their symbolic coaches and rowdy fan bases. For some schools just making it to the dance changes their programs forever and for others nothing short of cutting down the nets is acceptable. You see the Stephen Curry’s (Davidson ’09) making names for themselves when they get their chance on the big stage or blue chippers like Carmelo Anthony (Syracuse ’03) fulfilling their glory.

Set Looking ahead to this year’s Tournament, will we finally see the Bulldogs of Gonzaga finish the job? Does Zion Williamson come back for Duke to lead them back to a title before he leaves for the NBA? What powerhouse is going to fall asleep on the first days and what mid major is going to change their school's fortunes forever? The magic of the tournament is that nobody knows! You can do research all year long but it gives you no advantage over someone who picks by team colors. Don’t tell anyone but my sister has won more than one pool by picking just by mascots… No matter how you choose, make sure you get your brackets in because the more the merrier!

Life is short, and its up to us to celebrate the best moments in life. In appreciation of those moments, I'm proud to announce that we now have the capability of engraving photo quality images to remember these moments. A beloved grandfather, my beautiful wedding day, the birth of a daughter. These cufflinks span 4 generations of people dear to me. I'm not always a sentimental man, but sometimes it's astounding how a small item can capture a beautiful memory. - as told by Adam (oldest brother)

A perfect gift, requiring only a decent photo, could be cherished for a lifetime. Use an idea from engravings we have done, or come up with your own for the perfect gift for your loved one:
• Twins: Each one on a separate cufflink
• Your children featured with separate images on the pair
• Beloved pets: cattle, dogs, etc.
• Use those professional photos you paid for in another way!
• A loved one that can no longer be with you in person on a special day

Requirements for the Photo(s) Cufflinks:
• The file size should be a minimum of 200KB and a maximum of 2MB. The higher the resolution, the better. A higher resolution results in more detail and a greater clarity of the resulting image
• Jpeg file format
• A good clear image with a nice contrast between the subject and the background

Steps to getting your photo custom engraved on cufflinks:
1. Order either the square or circle custom engraved cufflinks from cufflinks.com
2. Send the image(s) to orders@cufflinks.com, be really clear on which part of the image should be used if it isn’t clear by the photo – extra points if you add your Sales Order number to the email.
3. Usually ships in 2-3 business days. (May take up to 1 week to ship during the holiday season)

We love hearing the stories you send with the photos or the thrilled reactions from your loved one. This is the perfect gift for any occasion.
“Those cufflinks are simply amazing!!!  Thank you so much!  My brother-in-law was brought to tears!  I could not be happier with this order!!!!!  Thank you!” - Leigh

We love a classic look of cufflinks, ties, and tiebars. We love a solid classic, timeless look. However, we also LOVE our licenses and all the fun and fashionable items they bring us as well. You can’t wear your 10 year old Graphic T-Shirt at most jobs. Its just fun to wear a well-designed tie, cufflinks, or tiebar with a favorite character, movie, or tv show included within the piece. SO, introducing some of our licenses new FALL 2018 items for Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, and DC Comics.

First off, Star Wars has already been one of our most popular brands. Who doesn’t just love to represent the Rebels or Imperial side within their own lives. Without a Star Wars movies for another year (plus) away, this is a way to keep the characters close and show the world which side you are on. We have 4 new ties, 1 pair of classic Stormtrooper cufflinks, and NEW Lapel Flowers! These are the true classic. The patterns are so subtle that no one would know that you are wearing Star Wars, but the ones that do will think you are a genius for your accessorizing.

Anyone else loving this Star Trek re-boot lately? The new cast of the movies are fantastic. We are thrilled to offer 5 new ties in addition to the collection of the Original Series and The Next Generation accessories we carry. Also, for the month of October 2018 we are offering 30% off our entire collection with code Trekkie30.

These Marvel Ties are soooooo classy! We love that we are able to offer new character Deadpool in a tie and socks to add to our Deadpool accessories we already offer.  As we look ahead to the Infinity War 2 movie, which favorite character will never be back after that movie?

Who is excited to see Khal Drogo [Game of Thrones] actor Jason Momoa be Aquaman in his first stand alone movie? These accessories are perfect to wear your excitement for this movie and Jason himself.

Your outfit at work or out does not always have to fit the norm. Use our subtly designed accessories to wear your individuality throughout the day.

We are thrilled to launch The Gentlemen’s Collection of new classic Tie Designs from Ox and Bull. All 100% Silk, these modern ties will strike a chord whether you are at the office, out with the guys, or on a first interview. We got the gentlemen of the Cufflinks.com office to step out one afternoon for a Happy Hour so they could show off the new ties for you. 

In case you were wondering, no Sioux Falls, South Dakota does not have natural Palm Trees. But if you go to our Caribbean Resturant - they do!

Derek is in The Andrew Tie (Blue Orange Stripe Men's Tie) and Julian is wearing The Zachary Tie (Gray Quatrefoil Men's Tie). What's a quatrefoil? I asked myself the same question: A quatrefoil is an ornamental design of four lobes or leaves as used in architectural tracery, resembling a flower or four-leaf clover.

Jacob is in The Phillip Tie (Burgundy Stripe Men's Tie) and Tyson is in The Hector Tie (Blue Houndstooth Dot Men's Tie).

On the left, Taylor is in The Edward Tie (Gold Check Men's Tie), Brandon is in The Mitchell Tie (Iridescent Basketweave Men's Tie), and Adam is in The Travis Tie (Navy Pink Stripe Men's Tie. 

PS: If you fell in love with one of the cufflinks or Tie Bars you saw on these gentlemen…don’t fret, they are coming soon.

I have been asked this question a few times lately – “Where do I find French Cuff Shirts?”. I mean, what good is loving cufflinks if you can’t find a shirt to wear with them? Well don’t worry! I have done the Googling for you. There are honestly probably a lot more websites that offer French Cuff shirts, but below are some of my search favorites broken down between custom and non-custom shirts.

Custom Shirts

Proper Cloth – This custom shirt website features an 11 question quiz to help you find shirts that are the perfect fit. You can also customize your shirts with choices like fabric, collar style, *Cuff (choose French Cuff), buttons, accents and more! Shirts are delivered in under 2 weeks with a complimentary alteration to ensure your Perfect Fit which will then be saved on your record for easy reordering. – $150, but look for first time buyer discounts!

Woodies – Similar to Proper Cloth, on this website you can customize your collar and *Cuff (again, choose French Cuff). All of the shirts are 100% Premium Cotton so you know they will feel good all year around. They also offer "complimentary remakes" to guarantee that your shirt fits just right and they save your size on your account for future orders. – $85

Indochino – This custom shirt website also saves your measurements and lets you choose your collar, cuff, trim color and add a monogram.  – $79-$129 depending on which fabric you choose.

Modern Tailor – Do you like choices? This website offers by far the most choices as far as I could tell. Some of the choices include: collar, cuff (did you know there are three different French Cuff styles? I did not!), fabric, button color, thread color, contrasting collar color (additional $5), fit, what the bottom of the shirt looks like and more! Have something on another shirt you would like to show them? Take a picture and upload it as part of the design your shirt options. You can also order a Test Shirt for $19.95 to make sure you have a good experience. Just as an FYI, they have Custom Women’s French Cuff Shirts too! – base prices $60-$120 depending on which fabric you choose

Not-fully Customizable Shirts

The benefit of these companies is that you can try on your French Cuff Shirt before buying it because all of these options have both websites and stores. If the store isn’t in your area, I would recommend getting your sizes from a local tailor (or someone you trust) before ordering online. The links below should go right to the French Cuff Shirt section of each website. Happy browsing!

Paul Fredrick – $89.50/$99.50 buy 1 shirt, get the second 50% off and free shipping.

Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts – You can choose iron preference, cloth weight and more. – $110 or buy 4 and get more than 50% off per shirt.

Macy's – The benefit of going to Macy’s is the opportunity to try on many different brands, styles, fabrics and colors. –  Price varies

Mens's Warehouse – Similar to Macy’s this store has multiple options to try on, compare and choose! Note, Tuxedo Shirts are not the same as French Cuff Shirts. – Price varies

JoS.A. Bank – With so many options to choose from, you can use the filters to narrow down your size, fit, collar style, color and pattern. – $69.50-$109.50, but definitely check out the sale options too!

Brooks Brothers – There are four great fits and multiple colors to choose from here. – $92-$185

Nordstrom – Not only can you go to Nordstrom’s, but you can also request the help of a personal shopper and get alterations on your purchase. – Price varies

Neiman Marcus – The perfect retailer for high fashion options. – $350-$900, but you can find some great deals on clearance for under $100

Banana Republic – You can go to the store to try-on your fit and style, but the French Cuff Shirts are an  online exclusive. – $79.50

Hugh and Crye – Made to fit all body types, these French Cuff Shirts can be semi-customized. – $95

I hope this helps answer the question of “Where do I find French Cuff Shirts?”. Have fun trying a French Cuff Shirt from your favorite brand, a new brand or a custom shirt option. We can’t wait to see your new shirts and the cufflinks and other men’s accessories that you will wear with them! Tag us on Facebook or Instagram #cufflinksdotcom!

You made it through, you survived. No huge mistake happened and at the end of the day you got married! Now you are thinking about how it truly takes a village to put together such an incredible event and you should probably thank them. Maybe you are thinking more than a handwritten note would also be wise considering how this vendor or party member went above and beyond for you and your better half.

First of all, I would start with a generous cash tip. Always important and appreciated.

Second, I would leave them a great testimonial or review – those are probably how you found them in the first place and they deserve one from a happy client.

But, if you feel like a particular person went out of the way to assist you in the planning process, add a personal note to their thank you card and gift them an extra treat with our gift sets, money clips, custom cufflinks, fine writing pens, men’s socks or other thoughtful accessories. :)

 “You really made sure I didn’t get cold feet – let me return the favor”

 “Thanks for being my Right hand through this whole wedding” [wedding planner, best man, personal assistant]

 “Thank you for keeping me classy all the way through. Let me make you a bit classier too?” [engravable cigar case and flask combo]

 “Because nothing says cheap beer like this fancy can cooler – thanks for keeping me fancy, let me make you fancier.”

Or the classic “Thanks for a doing an over the top great job for us. Here is something extra to thank you with – your favorite”

“Thanks for keeping me on time and making sure everything ran smoothly with your endless lists and attention to detail.”

 Did a vendor not only do a great job and keep you super organized, but also loves a sports team? These Token & Icons Bottle Openers from their favorite Stadium means you don’t even need a note to show you appreciation – it will leave them speechless as well. Also comes in pens, cufflinks, watches, and more if that is more their style.

Alright ladies. I get it. You might not want your wedding pictures to have lightsabers in them or anything that doesn’t look human. I really get it. But…maybe you or the future Mr. LOVES Stars Wars and would feel incomplete without the fandom in your big day. Do Not Panic. We got you. Your wedding pictures will still look glamourous and your wedding party will have the memory of Star Wars as part of your wedding.

Our Star Wars Accessories are subtlety designed into fashionable and trendy patterns. Your guests will not even know the wedding party are draped in Star Wars until they are greeting your guests after the wedding. Here are our suggestions from more subdued to super fan.

Cufflinks: Can and should be worn by the groom and his groomsmen. We have over 100 different sets of Star Wars cufflinks for you to choose from. For bonus points, pair your cufflinks with our matching Star War Shirt Studs. Here are some of our favorite pairings.

•Groom: Darth Vader; Groomsmen: Stormtrooper – super classic

•Groom: Han Solo; Groomsmen: Chewbacca

•Groom: Millennium Falcon; Groomsmen: Droids

Ties: We have over 50 officially licensed Star Wars ties that will look great on the entire wedding party. Young and old alike will enjoy these ties that fit within many common wedding colors. Most of our ties have been designed with a subtle touch to not be immediately recognized as being from a galaxy far, far away. Patterns include paisley, stripes, dots, and more.

Tie Bars: It is your wedding day after all, finish off that tie properly. Our tie bar gift sets ensure your tie bar and cufflinks coordinate perfectly – or shop our individual tie bars and clips for a huge selection! We have lightsabers, hyperdrive, symbols, and quotes for your dad, groom and groomsmen in stainless steel and satin black.

Socks: This is quite possibly the easiest way to incorporate your fandom into your wedding day. Match to their other items or have that be the only surprise that day for photos. Our men's socks are easy to give the night before the wedding or when you ask the guys to stand by your side.

Remember, your wedding day is the day when you get to be the best version of yourself. Be fun, be classy, be YOU (or the best version of you as a couple). Looking for more ideas? We are lucky enough to be included in the Bridal Guides List of 11 Wedding Ideas for the Star Wars Wedding.

Choosing your Wedding Theme

Groomsmen Gifts

As we approach graduation season, I know that it is usually our best intention to give a graduation gift that the graduate will both appreciate and use. Graduations are a great accomplishment and milestone whether they are graduating from high-school or law school – and a perfect time to give the gift that will mark that achievement.

One way to mark the occasion is to give a personalized engraved gift. Engraved Graduation gifts are a perfect way to give a gift they can carry with them throughout their lives.

Our Graduation Day Degree Cufflinks lets you engrave the initials and degree of the graduate. Any engraved cufflinks or engraved Tie Bar is a personalized gift any graduate will love.

A second idea for graduation gifts is to give a gift the graduate can use in the next step of their lives. A messenger bag, travel bag or portfolio is a great gift as they enter the professional world. A nice watch is a gift they can wear to work everyday and is a confidence boost.

A final idea is give a classic pair of cufflinks or Tie Bar that would never go out of style. Ox and Bull Trading Co. brand is our classic brand. Classic Knot Cufflinks or a Sterling Silver Tie Bar will never NOT look good.

More important than the gift you give the graduate is the time and effort you give them. A hand-written card with a message marking that occasion and their achievement will be remembered longer than any gift. Making the effort to attend the dinner or party marking the occasion is another way they will know that you are important to them.

PS. Or give the gift of remembering their alma mater with our NCAA accessories.

A lot goes into your wedding day. The colors, the invites, the table assignments...ugh. Picking a great gift for your groomsmen should be fun and simple.

Gift Idea #1: Part of their Groomsmen Outfit

Whether your wedding has a specific theme or just a preferred color palette, our cufflinks, bow ties, pocket squares and gift sets make stylish gifts for men.

• Ties – officially licensed Star Wars, Marvel, Disney brands and more!
• Tie Bar – engraved, favorite sports team, superhero, Star Wars, Disney, etc.
• Cufflinks – of course, favorite sports team, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Classic and Engravables

Gift Idea #2: Manly Alcohol Accessories

Looking for a gift that will make sure the night ends with a great story? Shop our “bar must-haves” and fun essentials for entertaining groomsmen gifts.

• Bottle Openers – handles of sports equipment, engravable
• Flasks – a gift to remember the weekend by for sure
• Dopp Kits – stuff it full of what you want them to have for the weekend in this heavy canvas water resistant bag
• Can Coolers – not just any junky one, a but a needlepoint on Italian leather fancy can cooler from Smathes and Branson

Don’t think too hard about your groomsmen gifts – it is a way to show your appreciation for standing up with you on your big day.

If you have ever thought about getting married, you probably have thought about how you will look on your big day. When planning for your wedding day, you most importantly want to be wearing items that reflect you as a couple and are personalized to your taste.

Ask yourself (and your better half) the following questions:

1. Do you prefer a more formal evening? (suits or tuxes, elegant music, candles, decorative center pieces, sparkle)

2. Are you both more earthy? (wood grains, driftwood, outdoor wedding, lots of florals)

3. Are you the ultimate super fans? Is there a movie(s) or show(s) that are truly part of your life? (Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones)

Most people will fall between these categories. It's most important that you and your significant other find the right feeling you want everyone to experience as they attend your wedding events. For choosing your theme and style, start with the colors, invitation, and venues. Next, move to the choices in outfits and accessories for your wedding day. Finally, end with the details all around you: guestbook, table décor, music, type of food offered. Choosing your theme first helps make all the other wedding decisions a bit easier. Remember, the question you should ask yourself is "does this fit our theme and style?"

Here is a fun quiz to help you choose your wedding style. Also Brides.com has a great article full of more ideas for your wedding theme .

Choosing your outfit and accessories for your wedding day can be stressful. Check out our Wedding Look Book for inspiration and style. It features engravable cufflinks, superhero-inspired tie bars, silk ties, designer products and more! We hope you and your partner look and feel your best on your wedding day.

Whether you are wearing one or four bracelets, here are some tips we at Cufflinks.com have found to be the norm when accessorizing with mens bracelets.

• Add a bracelet to your watch to add additional distinction
• Wear a single bracelet with your sleeves rolled up on a more casual day
• Stack your bracelets with varying materials to show individualization
• Make sure to match your outfit, you don’t want to overdo it.
• First bracelet? Not sure where to start? A single Leather bracelet can be dressed up or down and serves as a great anchor piece for any others you get.

We carry bracelets from trusted brands [such as Tateossian London, Jan Leslie, Simon Carter and more] – you know these are designed for fashion forward men, durable to last (my husbands $200 bracelet went through our washing machine just fine), and can create a custom look for any outfit.

Be confident in your choices and feel great leaving the house every morning.

For details on the different kinds of men’s fashion bracelets, please see our past blog on the bracelets we carry and Black Lapel’s awesome “A Guide to Bracelets for Men” 

Adam (oldest Broin brother) has this to say about his excitement for the Winter Olympics:

              “I grew up racing on the ski team at our local hill. I never got any medals, but I got the bug. I can’t help getting giddy every time the Winter Olympics come around. In college, my roommates and I even pitched in our beer money to get cable just for the duration of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

              Team USA has a lot of heart, look at Lindsey Vonn who grew up skiing in Minnesota like me. I have also followed Shaun White since his first Olympics; back when he was the “Flying Tomato.””

We believe men’s fashion accessories really contribute to your enthusiasm that you carry with you that day. Feel free to show off your team spirit or your favorite sport (ski, snowboard, the Biathlon) with our products! The winter Olympics only comes around every four years, enjoy every moment.

It’s funny to realize what we become over time. Not that long ago, I paid no attention to pro sports. I’ve recently wondered whether I simply got tired of seeing the Vikings lose time and time again or if my high school band program’s beef with the sports teams rubbed off on me. Perhaps my attendance at a division 1 school who at the time had the worst losing streak in college football led to my disinterest. Whatever the cause, I’ve noticed a problem with my behavior while watching the Vikings and wondered how it got like this – how could it have ever gotten this bad.

But let’s take a break from the Jacob of today. It’ll be nice. We’ll reflect on some embarrassing experiences I had as a child, and how I went from being bad at sports to being bad at watching professionals be way better than me at a sport I never even played.

Growing up, I attempted to play in all the big sports but football. I tried softball and baseball, soccer, basketball, and even hockey. Each one ended poorly for me. Not only was I not one to practice, but somehow I got convinced that I was capable of being the very best. More often than not my overzealous attitude would get myself, or most likely someone else, injured.

Our story starts with five-year-old me, breathing life into a league called Micro-Soccer. No referees, no real rules, just a bunch of tiny children running after a ball. After a few years, I moved up into a real league. Referees, sponsored teams, and the true bane of my existence: rules. The coach loved me. I played almost every game, until that one fateful day. The whole game I kept hearing the ref yell something about number 11. I must have assumed that I wasn’t doing anything wrong or I would have noticed before I heard very distinctly, “Number 11, NO TRIPPING!” from the ref. I looked down and to my surprise I was number 11! He must mean me! Turns out when it comes to getting the ball away from someone, you can’t just trip them and take the ball. As the realization set in that I had been playing it wrong the whole time, so did the embarrassment. I wasn’t some kind of rule breaker, I was good at soccer. Now self-conscious, I went back to playing, only to discover that soccer is very difficult. Turns out I was just really good at tripping people. What I’d give to have that be a professional sport. I also gave basketball a pretty good chance, playing on a team with all the kids from my neighborhood who were the same age. After inadvertently giving a friend (one who wasn’t keeping his eye on the ball) a bloody nose with the ball, I decided not to sign up again. I also gave baseball a try, after several years on a softball team with the kid who became our high school quarterback. I quit baseball, however, after a solid hit to the shoulder blade with a baseball during practice. Despite my usual trouble at-bat, I knocked one into the outfield. I hit second and kept running at the coach’s behest, only to be beamed just shy of third by the shortstop, who obviously missed the third baseman’s glove. I never did make it to third base that day, and neither did my dreams. One of the staples of growing up somewhere as cold as South Dakota is ice, and from it, ice hockey. I was young when I played hockey. Really young. The ‘league’ I played on played only one game a year in between periods of a Sioux Falls Stampede game. Everything else was just training. We learned to skate, we learned to handle the puck, and we learned to spend as little time as possible with our butts on the ice. It all came down, though, to that one game. Five minutes of some of the most intensely riveting hockey playing anyone had ever seen. It was my chance to prove I was the best. It was my chance to prove that I had the makings of a pro hockey player. With five seconds left and no scores on the board I saw my chance. I picked up my stick and hit the opposing player straight to his forehead. He fell to the ice and I knew this was it. I took off down the ice with my newly captured puck out in front. But then the buzzer went off and the curtain fell on the performance of a lifetime. The score remained tied. My heart sank, but my dreams sank even faster. I hadn’t proved anything. I’m fairly certain the coach convinced my mom that it was best if I do something besides hockey after that as the next year I started Taekwondo.

It’s safe to say I never got too invested in any of the sports I played as a child. Despite their somewhat disappointing endings, each one is now only a funny anecdote to my past. It brings me back to the question; how did I get so bad at watching football? It seems like every week instead of enjoying the game for what it is, I find myself up in arms over a call by the refs or penalty against the Vikings. Can it really be as I believe – that the Vikings haven’t deserved a penalty all year, but the refs have somehow missed a penalty on every play by opposing teams? What should be an exciting social event has become, I’m certain, painful for everyone around me. I can’t honestly blame them, however. No one enjoys spending three and a half hours listening to someone verbally abuse their television as if it will somehow convince the TV to show them what they want to see. Maybe I have gotten too invested in watching the Vikings.

It seems that when we get so invested in the outcome of something, we often become closed to the idea that any other outcome may be acceptable. The more invested we get, the harder it becomes for us to see anything besides what we want to see, and the easier it becomes for us to get angry or frustrated by an outcome that contradicts what we wish. Who am I to say that I know better than a referee working for the NFL? Or one of the judges for an event in the upcoming Olympics? As John D Rockefeller once said, “It is one thing to stand on the comfortable ground of placid inaction and put forth words of cynical wisdom, and another to plunge into the work itself and through strenuous experience earn the right to express strong conclusions.”

With these words in mind, I pledge to enjoy football for what it is, accept willingly conclusions that differ from my desired outcomes, and find other places in my life to apply the same principles. -Jacob Broin

It’s already time to think about your formal look for New Year’s Eve. It might be that one time of year you wear your tuxedo, studs, and cufflinks at a black tie event, but it’s worth putting some thought into it to make sure you look sharp to ring in the new year! When contemplating your black tie look, don’t feel like you need to look like everyone else. Adding stud sets to your tuxedo shirt can really help you to stand out and set the tone for your formal look.

Kinds of Studs for Tuxedo Shirts:

1. Classic look – You can’t go wrong with a classic Onyx. Our Silver and Onyx Stud Set is a bestseller that would make James Bond proud.
2. Crystal Stud Sets – What better time than New Year’s Eve to stand out with a touch of glamour? Our dazzling Preciosa crystal stud sets have just enough sparkle, and available in stainless steel with a classic silver, gold tone, or black plated stud sets.
3. Knot Stud Sets – An elegant knot design adds additional interest with the gold and silver twists.
4. Precious Stone Sets – Match your plus one’s outfit with a stone to complement their look, including Mother of Pearl, Onyx, Lapis, or Topaz.
5. Fitting to the event – Shamrocks, duck hunter, anchors, animals: matching the charity event or fundraiser—or your own personal interests.
6. Novelty Stud Sets – Star Wars Stud Sets, Batman Stud Sets, or Superman Stud Sets can still look classy and help you stand out at your event. A conversation starter for sure!

How to Put Studs on your Tuxedo Shirt:

Not all tuxedo shirts accommodate studs, so it is important to choose one that does! Some tuxedo shirts will have removable or no buttons where the studs will be inserted, and you can find some that have a second hole next to each button to place the studs.

1. Stud Sets are typically paired with a Bow Tie, which will cover the top button of a tuxedo shirt. So, the first stud will start at the second button or stud hole. Find this stud hole on your tuxedo shirt!
2. Insert the back of the stud through the back stud hole from the front of the shirt.
3. Then, with the stud acting as a button, push it through the front button hole.
   *If the front of the stud is too large, you can always feed the back of the stud through both layers of the stud holes from the front.  
4. Current tuxedo trends call for 4 studs, but you can also stick to 3 depending on your outfit or personal preference.

Need to know how to put on your cufflinks? See our past blog post for details on how to wear and put on cufflinks.

Inspired by Celebrities’ Red Carpet Formal Looks? These celebs are wearing our brands in these photos.

Studs should always be worn with matching cufflinks, which is why our studs are typically sold as a Stud Set to include the matching cufflinks and studs. Tuxedo Stud Sets make a great gift for any occasion, especially if you have a black tie event on your calendar. Finish off your formal look with a black formal silk bow tie and white pocket square and you take standard men’s formal look to your individual formal style. Really want to feel like a royal prince? These Konstantino Royal Tuxedo Studs or Konstantino Sterling Maltese Cross Cabochon Blue Topaz Studs will absolutely impress.

As the wife of the oldest Broin brother, I now know the depth of the Broin family’s love of Star Wars and Star Wars Accessories. While we were dating, Adam put on a movie and said, “You have seen Star Wars, right?” Not knowing how critical it was, I replied, “Oh yeah….” To which I foolishly said soon into Empire Strikes Back, “Who is that big furry dude [Chewbacca]?” After Adam freaked out and his mom fell on the floor from laughing, I was properly schooled in Star Wars. So, it was my great pleasure to interview my husband and brothers-in-law about their fondest memories and current opinions on Star Wars.

Your first memory of Star Wars –

Adam: I walked into the living room and Dad was watching TV. I asked him what he was watching and he replied, “You’ve never seen Star Wars? Come here and sit down.” I sat down just before Alderaan blew up and my little 3^rd grade socks were blown off. From that day on, all my art projects at school were Tie Fighters, X-Wings, and lightsabers. Later that month, my mom sewed me a Luke Skywalker costume for Halloween. I think I even asked for an X-Wing in my bedtime prayers that night!

Derek:  I remember being confused what Adam's Halloween costume was. I was soon enlightened and enamored. I certainly wore that same costume as soon as I grew into it!

Jacob: It’s hard to know when it started. For as long as I can remember it was Star Wars Legos at Christmas and plastic lightsabers that Mom would threaten to take away from us if we wouldn’t stop hitting each other with them. I feel like there isn’t a time in my life I can remember as being pre-Star Wars. I don’t even think I was old enough to understand the hype surrounding The Phantom Menace.

Did you play Star Wars growing up –

Adam: My friends and I would race our bikes around picnic tables and other obstacles pretending we were pod-racing. There were epic crashes and close finishes. Surprisingly, nobody was injured.

Derek: The lightsaber battles between the three of us and other kids in the neighborhood were constant. Especially growing up during marketing for the special edition and the buildup to the prequels.

Jacob: I spent a lot of time as a kid pretending to be a Jedi. I can remember a few times when a friend and I crossed the busy street behind our house to the designated flood capture in the snowy months (we are from South Dakota) and pretended to be on Hoth. After we got cold enough, we’d head inside and play the original Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Favorite Star Wars Videogame –

Adam: I was a huge fan of the 1994 LucasArts videogame TIE Fighter. A few years ago, I found a program to run old DOS games on my computer just so I could replay it. Still awesome!

Jacob: While I have always had a soft spot for Star Wars Legos (the bottom of my foot particularly), my all-time favorite was Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The game follows Vader’s secret apprentice as he helps Vader hunt down the Jedi that survived Order 66 and went into hiding. It reveals Vader’s secret plans to use Galen Marek, the main character, to assassinate the Emperor, whom Vader has always been conflicted about. The gameplay was a little clunky, but Galen is stronger in the Force than either Vader or Palpatine, and explores the farthest limits of his abilities. If they ever wanted to make a Star Wars movie out of a Star Wars video game, they’d take some creative freedoms with this story and turn it into some of the most awe-inspiring lightsaber battles ever put on screen.

Derek:  Knights of the Old Republic was hands down the most immersive reimagining I have experienced. Despite how clunky the turn-based combat was, going further before "a long time ago" gave them a lot of freedom to tell an entirely new story in a familiar setting. It was my first encounter with an alignment system in a game, and that added gravity to decisions really drew me in. Nothing up to that point was quite like the freedom to explore the galaxy in my own ship with a ragtag group of companions.

Favorite Star Wars movie –

Adam: The Last Jedi is the first Star Wars live-action movie with Mark Hamill in it this century. He was always great at delivering lines, and after years of voice-acting he’s even better. It’s already my favorite and I’ve only seen the trailer.

Derek: Empire Strikes back. Without the extra drama caused by the "good guys" getting their butts kicked and Luke's fateful encounter with Vader on Cloud City, the wins in Return of the Jedi would have felt empty and meaningless.

The main characters are all left in precarious crossroads at the end. Han has been hauled away in carbonite, Luke now handless and conflicted with his newfound knowledge about his paternity, not to mention his unfinished training by Yoda, has left him particularly vulnerable to the Dark side. The Rebellion is chased from system to system in this movie, their cause seemingly hopeless against such endless resources.

Jacob: I loved Rogue One. It was dark and tragic, and the audience was forced to feel the destructive power and immense loss the Empire was willing to inflict on its own citizens to maintain control. I really felt like Rogue One stepped out of the fantasy of Star Wars and presented this drama that felt like real people struggling with real pasts and difficult decisions in a futuristic universe. While I love the Star Wars franchise; the idea of flying X-Wings and lightsaber battles and force powers akin to Thor; I have always been a sucker for movies that have this innate realness to them (and aren’t afraid to kill off the main characters). I thought that Rogue One was the perfect combination of real drama and space battles that struck a spot in my soul that’s been missing since Firefly got cancelled.

Favorite Star Wars droid –

Derek: 2-1B. Patching up Luke, time and time again.

Adam: As far as I know, R2-D2 is the only droid with a Christmas Song.

Jacob: K-2SO had more personality in his left leg than any other droid combined (including R2D2 and his Christmas Song). Plus, I’ve always liked Alan Tudyk, so it was especially fun to see him as a droid.

Favorite Star Wars Character –

Adam: Obi-Wan Kenobi is always in the action, and though he’s hasty in his youth he’s still laconic and cool under pressure. I love watching him struggle to be a good teacher for Anakin in Attack of the Clones, it tests his mettle more than any fight. He’s also in all the best lightsaber duels, and appreciates the value of the high ground.

Derek: You can't beat Han Solo (especially with everyone's favorite Wookie at his side). This loveable scoundrel is an excellent foil for the mystical Force users, and his internal struggle between the jaded smuggler and the wholesome friend makes for unpredictable behavior.

Jacob: My favorite has to Luke, especially in Return of the Jedi. He steps in to Jabba’s Palace stoic and calm; ready for anything and clearly in control of the situation. Even when the whole thing goes off the rails and Jabba the Hutt is ready to throw him in the Sarlacc pit, Luke maintains his composure, frees his friends and beats Jabba the Hutt without blinking an eye. I’m very excited to see him mentor Rey and see a new dynamic in his character.

Discussing their favorite Scene –

Adam: The opening scene of The Force Awakens is one of the most powerful in the series. Seeing Poe Dameron, Finn, BB-8, and Kylo Ren in action all in the same fight is epic. Finn’s overwhelming moral objection, confusion in the fight, and subsequent freak-out, all while wearing a bloodstained helmet, was very moving. That scene put me through a wide range of emotions.

Derek: Luke's encounter with Vader on Cloud City. Vader attempts to freeze Luke in carbonite, the battle is as much ideological verbal sparring as lightsaber battle, and it culminates in one of the best-executed movie twists of all time. 

Jacob: I could watch the final battle between Luke and Vader a hundred times and still get the same ripping emotions. Vader tempts Luke with the Dark Side by inviting his anger, an internal struggle between Vader and Anakin and what each represents, and the painful tragedy of Anakin’s rebirth, and shortly after, his death. The whole thing is a rollercoaster.

Favorite Quote –

Adam: “Who’s the fool: The fool, or the fool who follows him?” ~Obi-Wan Kenobi, A New Hope

Derek:  "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Jacob: This is a hard one. The idiot who lives in my head wants me to say, “It’s a trap!” but there are so many good ones that I probably should come up with something that sounds more intelligent.

Thoughts on the new Disney owned Star Wars –

Adam: Kylo Ren is still undeveloped as a Sith; whereas, Anakin Skywalker had a lot of painful life events to make him into Darth Vader. Seeing Kylo struggling to be truly evil without that history makes him relatedly vulnerable in a way that Darth Vader was chillingly impervious.

Jacob: The Force Awakens was a difficult watch for me. I felt the characters were under-developed and the plot only raised questions, but didn’t answer them. However, this is Star Wars and I couldn’t help but fall in love with Kylo’s pain, Rey’s tenacity, and Finn’s rebelliousness. I cannot wait to see more of these characters as they forge their own path through the galaxy.

Derek:  The Force Awakens opened a lot of possibilities for them to take the series in exciting new ways. They began saying goodbye to the original trilogy cast and are creating intriguing new characters with complicated backstories that are sure to thrill. The addition of one-off movies like Rogue One was an excellent choice and I'm excited to see what new stories can be told in the setting that don't rely on the established characters.

Thoughts on the new The Last Jedi trailer –

Adam: Again, Mark Hamill really knows how to deliver a line. I think Luke’s part in this story will parallel Yoda’s role in Empire Strikes Back: Training someone who’s too old, hasty, and emotional. I’m sure the ghost of Yoda is chuckling at him now.

Derek: A spine-tingling peek at what is sure to be the best movie of the year.

Jacob: There is nothing I love more than MORE Star Wars. And The Force Awakens set up the perfect platform for The Last Jedi to be one of the best movies the franchise has ever seen. The Last Jedi is going to be mind-blowing.

 Favorite Star Wars product we have –

Adam: I love our Finn cufflinks with the handprint on his helmet. Iconic.

Derek: The Luxe Millennium Falcon cufflinks we created for the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book are amazing and really show off our design teams creativity and attention to detail.

Jacob: Right now it’s definitely the Gold Rebel Symbol Cufflinks, but I have a feeling it will be the Porg products once the new movie comes out.

It seems lately like everyone is trying to get rid of things – so then what should we give the men in our lives who we are celebrating? A groom needing cufflinks, his groomsmen gifts, a heartfelt anniversary, a golden birthday; a personalized engraved gift will help commemorate the truly special occasion.

Fit his initials, a significant date, phrase, favorite text, or logo on our engravable gifts which include cufflinks, tie bars, money clips, and more.

Engraving guidelines for men have the following options when considering classic initials. 

1. First, Middle, Last   [ADJ] (Letters the same size and evenly spaced - our standard initials engraving)
2. First, Last, Middle   [AJD] (Last name letter Bigger and in Center - select our Monogram font, and enter the letters in the order to be engraved)
3. Single initial               [J]    (first letter of first or last name)

An engraved gift is also a great way to show your unique relationship with a special man in your life. On a tie bar you have a little extra space to add your favorite joke, a meaningful quote, etc. Now our website says maximum of 8 characters, but if you email support@cufflinks.com you could get more than what our website lists. Just keep in mind that the more you add, the smaller it will be - we are talking about small accessories, of course! But we are happy to accommodate any special requests.

Need more ideas? Here are a few of our favorite suggestions: Inside jokes, a reminder on a money clip to not get coffee over $3, children’s birthdates, date of sobriety, bought a company? (like we did? Nov 1^st, 2017) purchase date, met a huge personal goal. There are hundreds of reasons to get a personalized item to celebrate occasions and accomplishments.   

Here are some answers to Cufflinks.com FAQs on our Personalized Engravable Gifts:

1. What do you charge for engraving? $8 for each unique line of engraving.
2. What type of engraving method do you use? We use a diamond engraving machine.
3. Can I add more characters to my engraving? Typically, yes, but the more characters the less detailed it may look, and may be harder to read. Due to the small size and nature of our products, on most cufflinks we recommend a maximum of 8 characters.
4. How do I see a preview of what it will look like? Most of our engravable items are set up to see a preview. Simply select a font, enter your inscriptions, and click Preview. If the item you are interested in does not have a preview, you can use one of these items to review.
5. Can I add two lines on top of each other? You currently cannot do this directly on the site, but WE CAN. Reminder again that the more characters the less detailed it may look. Please contact support@cufflinks.com for this type of customization. We are working to improve our personalization center to add more options that can easily be selected on the site.
6. I would like my [custom] logo on an item. Yes, we can do this, too! Please email our Custom Specialist at jessiebell@cufflinksinc.com, since this would be a “Custom/Special Order” request. She can help walk you through the process and answer any questions.
7. How long does it take to ship? If an order is placed before 3PM CST it typically goes out the same day barring catastrophes….We strive to provide a quick turnaround time – generally around 1-2 business days at most. However, around our high volume times (Valentines Day, Father’s Day, Christmas) it may take an additional day to process.
8. Am I allowed to engrave on both sides of the cufflink? Yes! Obviously, only on the ones with an engravable area on the backing (such as these or this).
9. Am I able to engrave different inscriptions on each cufflink? Yes! If you would like to engrave a separate inscription on each cufflink, check the box that reads "I would like a separate inscription on the other cufflink." You can only preview one inscription at a time, but as long as both Preview boxes have the preferred inscription when you Add to Cart, both will be processed. Please note that each separate inscription will require an $8 engraving fee.

Let’s nerd out at all the details! The thought that went into these beauties are so inspiring. Here is what our lead designer, Adam Weber, had to say about the designs:

“For the most part I wanted to tell a story about each of the characters by utilizing key elements that a fan would enjoy and super fan would emotionally attach to. Embodying these venerable properties within a physical space such as Cufflinks allows the wearer's geek to come out even when going incognito.“

The Luxe Batman Cufflinks are made of 18K Gold Plated Sterling Silver, use precision hardware for assembly, the stem is inspired by Batman’s utility belt, a swivel closure backing with a lapis stone is designed to look like Batman’s grappling hook. Seriously…….so cool.

Or IRON MAN….these may be more glam than RDJ himself.

• 18K Gold Plated Sterling Silver
• 5 pieces assembled together to create a movable mask…..AHHHHHH
• The swivel closure holds an Amazon Stone and looks just like his Arc Reactor

The Luxe Darth Vader is incredible.

Like the look?

The Stainless Steel Wood Tie Clip is a match to our Stainless Steel Wood Cufflinks. The Gray Wool Tie (which is on Sale btw) will match any shirt you already own. The Green and Blue Paisley Wool Pocket Square adds a pop of pattern to this outfit.  To finish it off, we paired the gray and blue/green up top with these orange, gray, and blue Striped Socks from Dion Neckwear.

Our second look:

The always impressive looking Sterling Round Scroll with Lapis Stone Cufflinks from Konstantino matched the Navy Circle Patterned Silk Tie from Ox and Bull. We picked the Stainless Steel Domed Tie Clip to break the pattern in the tie. The pop of this purple toned lapel flower made of velvet and classic look of the Teague White Solid Cotton Pocket Square both by Hook and Albert finish off this day or evening look. 

How to Wear Cufflinks

1. Choose a pair of cufflinks while wearing a french cuff shirt with cuffs and cufflink holes.
2. Rotate the backing clasp on the cufflink to make a “T” shape, so the backing is parallel to the cufflink stem.
3. Fold the cuff of your shirt over so the two holes in your cuff are aligned.
4. Push the backing end of the cufflink through the outside button hole.
5. Pinch both ends of of your cuff together, and bring the outer cuff closer until you can push the cufflink through the holes in both layers of the cuff.
6. Rotate the backing clasp to keep the cuffs in position.

Understanding how to wear cufflinkswith the right outfits is important if you’re interested in upgrading your fashion sense. Even the most elite fashionistas -- or fashionistos rather -- must consider how to wear cufflinks with their suit, tuxedo or work shirt. Most of our cufflinks fasten together using buttons, magnets or clasps. The specific type of cufflinks you’re wearing affect how you wear the cufflinks with your outfit. From black tie events to the blue collared work shirt, there are many opportunities in which you may find yourself wondering how to wear cufflinks.

Wearing Cufflinks for Black-Tie Events

Special black-tie events are one of the more common scenarios where you may want to wear cufflinks. If you’re looking for something formal that doesn’t attract too much attention, you may be interested in wearing more subtle cufflinks, such as our collection of classic cufflinks. Dress shirts, such as tuxedo shirts and French cuff shirts, can be fastened with a matching set of cufflinks and studs.

How to Wear Cufflinks for Formal Occasions

When it’s time to attend a more formal occasion, you should opt for choosing a cufflink set that compliments, and is visible when wearing, your formal attire.

First, select a dress shirt and jacket. Next, put on the jacket over your dress shirt and make sure your cuffs extend slightly beyond the length of jacket sleeve when folded. Then, stick a cufflink through the two holes in each cuff to fasten them in place. Finally, your cufflinks should be slightly visible while wearing a formal jacket.

If you’re wearing a suit with navy blue tie, you might consider a pair of Silver and Blue Catseye Cufflinks or some high-end sterling blue enamel knot cufflinks.

Wearing Cufflinks with Tuxedos

There comes a time when every man must wear a tuxedo. If you’re wondering how to wear cufflinks with a tuxedo, the answer is pretty straightforward. You’ll want to add some classic silver or metallic accents to your tuxedo and cufflinks are the perfect accessory to make that happen. By adding just a bit of extra flare, you’ll achieve that bold high-fashion look while still leveraging your own personal style. Our collection of mens luxury cufflinks, such as a pair of yellow gold diamond cufflinks by Armenta, make excellent additions to your tuxedo. Tuxedo shirts require both cufflinks and studs to be worn properly.

How to Wear Cufflinks with Tuxedo Shirts

First, fasten the studs to your tuxedo shirt. Next, attach your cufflinks to both cuffs on your shirt (see “How to Wear Cufflinks,” above). Then, slip on your vest and jacket. Finally, tug gently on both cuffs so they align with – or slightly extend beyond the length of your jacket sleeves.

White Tie Cufflinks

White tie events are a bit different than other formal occasions. These events tend to be a bit stricter when it comes to formality and tradition. Typically, these events have a dress code you’re expected to follow. If you’re wondering how to wear cufflinks to a white-tie event, the first thing to check is if there are specific dress codes listed in the invitation.

How to Wear Cufflinks to White-Tie Events

You’ll need to step it up when you wear cufflinks to white-tie events. A common solution is to find a classy set of white or pearl cufflinks. Our Sterling Silver Classic Formal Mother of Pearl Cufflinks are subtle yet elegant and pair very well with a white-tie event. If you’d like to avoid breaking the bank, our Silver and Mother of Pearl Stud Set by Ox & Bull Trading Co are excellent lower-cost choices.

When To Wear Cufflinks to Work

While most of us are not expected to be wearing cufflinks in the workplace on a daily basis, doing so makes you stand out from your competition. If you’re wondering when to wear cufflinks to work, it really depends on a few things:

1. Does your workplace have a dress code?
2. Do you wear a dress shirt to work?
3. Are you hoping to impress your colleagues?

If you answered yes to each of these questions, then you should definitely consider wearing cufflinks to work. Our selection of Hobbies and Interests Cufflinks are just what you need to spark a good conversation at the office. From superhero cufflinks to star wars cufflinks, you can represent your favorite interests while still looking classy in the workplace.

How to Wear Cufflinks with Other Accessories

Now that you know more about when to wear cufflinks, you may be interested in how to wear cufflinks with other fashion accessories. It’s always nice to choose a theme when you’re looking to achieve a distinguished look. For example, why not go all out with Star Wars accessories by adding a Star Wars tie or Star Wars bow tie to complement your Star Wars Cufflinks? For something more modern, check out our designer cufflinks which pair well with designer dress socks and designer money clips.

Next time you’re wondering how to wear cufflinks, turn to CuffLinks.com for some inspiration. We’re confident you’ll find something to finish your look in our extensive catalog of men’s accessories.

French cuff shirts -- the latest addition to our men's fashion catalog -- deliver a sophisticated look for any occasion. The new selection by a href="https://www.cufflinks.comshopbydesigner/shop-oxandbulltradingco.html">Ox and Bull Trading Co. offers a customized shopping experience, allowing you to tailor a new shirt suited to your needs. Our assortment starts with the basics that will become the new staples of your wardrobe. All are designed with a French cuff, a French placket, and a classic fit, but you can customize your shirt with your pick of color, material, sleeve length, and collar type.

Our French cuff shirts supply a sense of style you won't easily find with other dress shirts. French cuffs lend to the high-class or everyday wardrobe ensemble, are easy to put on and pair quite well with your favorite set of cufflinks. From black-tie events to casual social hours, French cuff shirts make the perfect addition to the modern guise.

What Are French Cuff Shirts?

French cuffs are versatile. They can be dressed up for the formal occasion or worn as a touch of class in the workplace. Also known as "double cuffs," French cuffs are twice as long as conventional button cuffs and are folded back over themselves, creating a double layered cuff that is fastened with a cufflink. In other words, French cuff shirts are button-up shirts with fancier, button-less cuffs, with the intention to use cufflinks to keep the cuff closed. French cuff shirts also typically include a French placket, which differs from your standard button-up in the way the fabric is folded around the buttons on the front of the shirt. The French placket offers a cleaner and a bit dressier look, since the fabric is folded inwards and no stitching is visible from the front.

The French cuffs are meant to extend beyond the sleeve of a jacket just enough to be prominent–and show off your cufflinks–while refraining from being too drawn-out. Unlike traditional button or barrel cuffs, which are closed by a button, French cuffs offer a bit more versatility and allow you to better express your sense of style by accessorizing with unique cufflinks. Give your French cuff shirt a personal touch by showing love for your favorite team with a pair of officially licensed sports cufflinks, superhero cufflinks or custom engraved cufflinks.

Easy to Wear

Pairing French cuff shirts with cufflinks are an excellent way to showcase your personal style. Most commonly paired with a suit, French cuff shirts can also be worn with a sweater, blazer, or sport coat, even with jeans, for a more casual look while still being able to express a little personality and style through your cuffs. The best part about French cuffs is that they can be fastened with a set of cufflinks, buttons or silk knots, giving you the perfect opportunity to personalize your look. While French cuff shirts may appear to be excessively elongated, folding over the cuffs and fastening them with a cufflink achieves a bold yet refined look.

How to Wear a French Cuff Shirt

It’s really quite simple: fold back the cuffs and make sure the holes are aligned, then insert the cufflink backing through the holes and secure it. Slip on a nice dress jacket over your French cuff shirt and you're ready to turn heads wherever you go! Now all you need is the right fashion accessories to add an extra personalized touch to your outfit.

Pairs Well with Cufflinks

Cufflinks enable you to customize your formal attire while still falling in-line with the intended dress code. You can also wear a French cuff shirt with a casual outfit as an opportunity to show off your cufflinks. Simply exchanging a french cuff shirt for a standard button-up in a casual outfit dresses up your look just enough without being overdressed. CuffLinks.com's new supply of French cuff shirts go perfectly with our expansive selection of cufflinks for men. From a set of custom engraved cufflinks to luxury gold cufflinks, every style of cufflinks look flawless on French cuffs.

Tips for Wearing Men’s Bracelets

1. Go ahead and stack ‘em: Stack up as many cool men’s leather and beaded bracelets on the same wrist as you like, but don’t go for multiples of thick, metal bracelets. Similarly, a wristwatch looks okay with thinner bracelets, but not with a thick metal one. Don’t mix more than one big metal band on the same wrist.
2. Match the occasion with your bracelets: One of the most important rules to remember with men’s accessories is to keep it simple. Men’s bracelets should be a subtle addition to compliment any outfit, they shouldn’t be the focus. Pair metal bracelets with dressier attire, and wood beaded bracelets with casual gear.

From Men’s wooden bead bracelets to woven leather bracelets, sports bracelets and everything in between, CuffLinks.com is your one-stop-shop for cool bracelets for men. Be sure to pair your new bracelets with other great men’s fashion accessories including engraved cufflinks, unique tie clips, and dress shirt studs.

The first step, of course, is procuring your Dopp kit. You have several options, but if you want something that looks classy and will last a lifetime we suggest you go with a leather Dopp Kit. Will Leather Goods’ Grady Leather Travel Kit in Cognac is ruggedly handsome and comes with a lifetime guarantee against wear and tear. 

If leather’s not your thing or price is a big factor, go with a well-constructed vinyl or canvas Dopp kit. The canvas kits from Izola are lined with water resistant PEVA and have a heavy duty zipper, so this will make sure if there’s a spill it’s well contained in your kit and not all over the clothes in your bag.  

Another way to reduce spill risk and follow TSA guidelines is to store your liquids in clear containers (3.4 oz or less) inside a clear quart zip-top bag. As far as what liquids you need to bring, we suggest a small bottle of your favorite shampoo, some mouthwash, and if you wear contacts, contact solution. 

The rest of the supplies are mostly common-sense but there are some here you may not have thought of before.

• Bar of soap
• Shaving supplies
• Deodorant
• Facial moisturizer with SPF
• Nail clippers
• Lip balm
• Toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss
• Band aids
• Aspirin
• Indigestion medicine
• Small sewing kit
• Safety pins
• Lint roller
• $20 bill
• Extra contact lenses
• Brush or comb 

Follow these tips and keep your Dopp kit pre-stocked for effortless travel prep. Seriously, just grab it and go. That way even if your travel plans don’t work out so well and you find yourself stranded on a deserted island, at least you’ll have what you need to MacGuyver your way out of there. Now aren’t you glad you packed the dental floss, sewing kit and SPF?

When you have an interview, it means something about you stood out from the seemingly endless stream of resumes. Your resume has impressed thus far, so don’t drop the ball. Showing up to the interview looking well-groomed, polished, and professional can give the interviewer the perception that you work hard, are trustworthy, and of course – are the ultimate candidate for their job.

Most men immediately think you must wear a suit, but this isn’t necessarily the case. If you’re interviewing at say a start up with a foosball table in the office, a power suit may give off the impression that you may not fit in with their corporate culture. Instead, try pairing plain-front pants in a contemporary cut with a fitted shirt with a subtle pattern or stripe. Complete the look with a sport coat and a skinny tie, like the Navy Solid Silk Knot Tie by Hook & Albert. No tie is complete, however, without a tie bar. We recommend Ox & Bull Trading Co.’s Etched Chevron Tie Bar since it’s a modern take on a classic style and is the perfect width to complement the tie. 

If you’re interviewing at a place with a more traditional environment, break out your grey suit. Grey is versatile and more modern than a brown or navy suit. Black is okay, but… everyone wears a black suit. Stand out, but do so subtly. Make sure the suit is tailored to you. If not, you can come off looking sloppy. Details are key here, because you want to show you’re detail-oriented. So the point is to accessorize, but not too much. You can’t go wrong with a French cuff shirt and a stylish pair of cufflinks. It’s a nice way to add a bit of personality but with tact. Something classic like a silver tone pair engraved is ideal. We’ve got a few suggestions of some fantastic pairs that would work well. 

Make sure your shoe game is on point, and NEVER, I repeat, NEVER wear sneakers. No exceptions. Make sure your shoes are polished and in good shape. Moore & Giles offers a great Shoe Polish kit, which is always a good thing to have handy. Need a few pointers on where to start? Take a look at our How To Polish Your Shoes post. Always have a nice pair of dress socks on, and it’s okay to show a little flair with a fun pattern or a bit of color. 

Lest we forget, grooming is also essential here, so break out your dopp kit. Make sure your beard is trimmed or you’re clean shaven. Hair should be styled but don’t get weird. Now is not the ideal time to try the mohawk you’ve always dreamed of. Wear a neutral deodorant, and go light on the cologne. Basically, the interviewer shouldn’t smell you across the table. 

Follow these tips and we’ll take you out for drinks to celebrate your new job. Because you got this. Be yourself, be confident, and dress for success.

Liberty London Red & Pink Silk Bow Tie with Sterling Clasp Bow Tie –.The bow tie is no longer viewed as something you wear to be different, or for those nerdy types like on Bill Nye “The Science Guy”. Today you will see both the young hipster and sophisticated adult sporting bow ties. Bow ties have become popular because they pair well with jeans, a button down shirt and vest, as well as a suit with a contrasting pocket square to accent the look. When deciding if you should wear a bow tie consider you personality. If you are outgoing and a little flamboyant go for it, if you are more conservative it may not be for you. The thing to consider when wearing the bow tie is to go bold and do not be afraid of color

Neck Tie – The neck tie is widely viewed to be more appropriate for business, although the bow tie is acceptable under certain circumstances. You are far more likely to be taken seriously at a board meeting or in court when wearing a neck tie. Design and Color allow you to personalize your choice and to add fashion to a rather dreary suit and shirt combination. But be careful when choosing a color, stick with more traditional colors and keep the pocket square in the same color family, you do not want to look like a clown. Consider, your physical stature when choosing a tie, if you are a little heavy stay away from the skinny ties and use the half Windsor and tight enough to cover the top button. Also make sure the length of the tie comes to you belt.

Built to withstand even hurricane force winds, it is sure to keep you dry. Set out those items first so that you don’t forget them and begin building a weekend wardrobe of versatility and style. Start with a carry-on sized bag. Hook + Albert, Moore & Giles and Will Leather Goods are three of the finest offerings available. My go-to is the Hook + Albert’s weekender with a designated place for everything, forgetting your shoes will be a thing of the past.

On top of the absolute brilliance of their design, it’s available in both canvas and leather for a variety of price points to fit your budget. Now onto the meat of your luggage, while hoodies might be comfortable, they are not versatile. Instead grab one sport coat. These work with different styles of pants and move well from casual dining and walking around town to nightclubs and semi-formal parties. Your shoes should both go well with your coat, and your pant selection will depend on both.

For pants choose solid standard colors. A simple pair of slacks and a nice looking pair of jeans should cover every possibility. Try them on with the coat and shoes, and see how everything works together.

Shirts come next, and once again, simple should win. Choose two or three collared shirts, preferably with long sleeves. Unbutton the collar or roll up the sleeves for a more casual look, and throw on a tie or cufflinks for an extra touch of class. Try every look once more to ensure that you have as much versatility as possible.

Those pesky wrinkles mentioned earlier would be solved with Moore & Giles’ handy Sullivan Shirt Pack. Designed for keeping dress shirts well contained and wrinkle free on the go, it offers room for up to 5 shirts and is perfectly compact. Since everything to this point has been plain and versatile, accessories can be the place for some flair. A funky pair of socks, cufflinks, or a tie can make you stand out; just make sure that you have a look before packing. Don’t forget to choose a belt that matches your shoes and fits your belt loops. Dress belts are usually too thin to wear with jeans. My favorite purchase to date is the Accessories Travel Kit.

Another brilliant design from Hook + Albert, no more worrying about losing one of your cufflinks while traveling. Rolling your clothes will save room and help prevent new wrinkles if you roll carefully. I prefer to do it in sets. Begin with pants folded in half along the crotch, and place them on a flat surface. Place a fully buttoned shirt face down on the pants with the shirt’s collar near the waistband of the pants. Evenly distribute a folded undershirt, underwear, and a pair of socks on top of the shirt. Start at the hem and roll the whole pile tightly, smoothing out any wrinkles as you go. Hang the clothes once you reach your destination. Touch up ironing is rarely needed if care is taken during rolling. And should your hotel not offer an iron, you can always use the hot, moist air from the shower with a quick blow-dryer finish to get out any wrinkles that may have occurred.

Make sure you also have a suitable dopp kit, nothing is worse than those ziplock bags when traveling. Izola offers a fabulous water proof PEVA lined, canvas Dopp Kits that are so easy to clean up should you spill something inside.

Enjoy your weekend.

If you were to ask someone what their favorite holiday is, you’d probably get fairly common responses like Christmas or Halloween. While Christmas is pretty dope, my favorite holiday is May the 4^th. If you’re unfamiliar with this glorious day, it’s safe to say you’re probably not a Star Wars fan, so I’ll explain. May the 4^th is a play on the ubiquitous Star Wars line “May the Force be with you” and is celebrated as the intergalactic Star Wars Day. 

I relish the opportunity to deck head to toe in Star Wars gear, from my tie to my socks and everything in between. If I could get away with coming to work dressed like Darth Maul, you better believe I would.  Can you imagine the look on the unsuspecting faces of patrons as I roll into Starbucks for my early morning brew, but with menacing yellow eyes and horns? I get chills just thinking about it. My cufflinks, tie, tie bar, pocket square, and socks are much more office appropriate and are just as festive.

If you too are a fan, be sure to stop at CuffLinks.com on May the 4^th. We’ll be having a promotion that’s out of this world. Literally. Intergalactic even. And I’m pretty sure you’ll be able score something awesome for less than a drink at Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina. And there’s no fear of being subjected to hearing a Mandalorian drinking chant. (We hope).

            It’s been a long, hard winter, and if you aren’t suffering from Cabin Fever, you may be trembling with House of Cards withdrawals.  So we don’t have to tell you that the Season 3 premier is rthe 27^th (commence your countdown of hours and minutes).  But when the Winter winds howl (I don’t care if you live in Arizona, there’s something howling out there, trust me) you probably get a-thinkin’, now that Frank has become Mr. President, what will he be wearing this season?  We have our #WWFW extravaganza in full swing, and we think we have a few educated guesses as to what that Kevin Spacey will be sporting this season.

1. Simon Carter Classic Black Baton Indices Watch

Old Frank is nothing if not sneaky.  His if ya got it, don’t flaunt it mindset lends itself to this elegant, understated gentleman’s watch.  When Frank needs to know what time it is, it’s so he can secret himself off and arrange something that no one, not a soul is to know about.  You can’t glint and shine when you roll that way.

2. Ox and Bull Frank U Cufflinks

We’re going way out on a limb here.  These are Frank Underwood cufflinks.  Which of your wrists gets F and which U?  Darling, it depends on your company, doesn’t it?  And if you’d like to go with different initials, the power is yours.

3. Ox and Bull Blue Silk Skinny Tie

This Ox and Bull silk tie could be 90% silk.  It could weasel its way through life at 97.4 or 98.3.  And the kind of people drawn to that kind of thing would fawn over it.  But Frank is a man of integrity, at least when it comes to skinny ties.  He’s a 100% silk man.  And this lilting indigo is his color, all the way.

4.  NeroUno Linea Chrome Trim Fountain Pen

Is it a pen or a fashion accessory?  The sleek NeroUno Linea Chrome Trim Fountain Pen is Pure Frank: shiny on the outside and dark in the center, economical and effective.

5 American Flag Lapel Pin

What other nation’s flag would you trust to pin your lapel?  Watch closely this season, and at some point, you’re bound to see Frank wearing this item.  Point at your screen, spill your drink on your friend, cackle, and start shouting “I told you! I knew it!”

6. American Flag Cufflinks

An American flag stovepipe hat?  Not really Frank.  Socks?  We hear Spacey has a “no ankles” clause in his contract.  No, sir or madam, you’ll be seeing our hero in these elegant cufflinks.  Enamel, with a plated base metal setting, these patriotic numbers will add a little color to your outfit.

A tie bar is meant to hold your tie and shirt together. Placing the tie bar into the placket of your shirt is an absolute must.  Please guys, don’t forget this most important step.

Now that we have gotten that detail out of the way, what next?

How wide do I go?

There are traditionalists and style of the Mad Men era that wear a tie bar that matches the width of your tie. But, for a modern/fresher approach, choose a tie bar that lands between ½ and ¾ of the width of your tie.  Lastly, for the love of all that is fashionable, NEVER choose a tie bar that goes beyond the width of your tie. Consider this the Tie Bar Golden Rule.

Where the heck does this thing go?

If your tie bar is too low or too high, you can end up looking awkward and sloppy. You sir, are neither, so get the perfect placement by placing the tie bar at the base of your sternum. (This should be between the 3^rd and 4^th button of your shirt.)  As long as you fit within this zone, you can adjust the tie bar to your preference. The modern take is to place the tie bar higher in the zone to achieve a slimming look, while classic enthusiasts will tell you to keep the tie bar placed relatively low within the zone.

Alright, now which color?

This is really where your personal preference comes into play, as there are no right or wrong answers. If you’re confident enough to go bold, consider a tie bar with a color, pattern, novelty, or theme. A small pop of color on the tie can really elevate your look. For those with more classic tastes, a good rule to follow is to match the metal accents on your other accessories.  As long as you feel confident in your selection, you have no need to worry.

Ok, now when do I wear one?

A better question should be when shouldn’t you wear one? Any time you’re sporting a tie, slap on a tie bar. Now, you’re stylish.  Our only suggestion on when not to wear one would simply be to not over accessorize. I love Mr. T, I wanted to be best friends with B.A. Baracus, but an accessory icon he is not. Cufflinks, tie bar, pocket square and lapel pins all are items that indicate that you are a man who cares about details. With that said, we suggest no more than 3 of these items at once.

Accessories are the ultimate way to add color and personality to any outfit. From bold socks to the emergence of the lapel pin, 2014 was the “Year of the Accessory.” CuffLinks.com, the leader in men’s accessories, understands that the finishing piece to a man’s outfit is the perfect pair of cufflinks. As 2015 approaches, the company has compiled a list of the “Top 10 Cufflinks of 2014,” featuring the hottest styles that were flying off the web and onto men’s cuffs across the country.

#10:     Cool Cut Moustache Cufflinks

With the increase in popularity in mustaches and the Movember men’s health movement, the Cool Cut Moustache Cufflinks were one of the bestselling cufflinks of 2014. Stylish and purposeful, the Moustache Cufflinks give that hipster look while also giving back to a great cause. Each pair sold triggers a company donation to prostate cancer research.

#9:       Pewter New York Cufflinks

Shoppers in a “New York state of mind” were able to show their support of the Big Apple with these sophisticated cufflinks. After all, if home is where the heart is, then what better way to show that love and wear your heart on your sleeve? Hand cast in pewter and made in Texas, any home state can be represented.

#8:       Stainless Bottle Opener Cufflinks

Apropos for the tailgate or a celebratory beer in the boardroom, these truly functional cufflinks are the most stylish way to pop open your favorite stout, porter or IPA brew.

#7:       Game Used San Francisco Giants Baseball Cufflinks

Everyone loves a champion, and no one embodied winning better this year than the San Francisco Giants. Each pair is constructed of baseball stitches that were once used in an actual game. All cufflinks are authenticated by Major League Baseball and come with a hologram serial number, which can be looked up to discover more details of the game. Every MLB team is available as well.  Play ball!

#6:       4GB USB Flash Drive Cufflinks

Not only James Bond-like, but actually used for a Bond film, the USB Flash Drive Cufflinks are the ultimate representation of function meeting fashion. Sleek and powerful, shoppers can store up to 1,000 mps3, photos and files at the convenience of your cuff.

#5:       American Flag Cufflinks

From politicians to professional athletes, the American Flag Cufflinks have been a favorite of the year. While political party lines continue to polarize nearly every subject matter, the one thing that binds us together is our love of country. The stars and stripes are the ultimate symbol of freedom and democracy – a truly exceptional design.

#4:       Silver Knot Cufflinks

Classic, timeless and can be worn with anything, the Silver Knot Cufflinks are one of the top cufflinks for 2014, and possibly every year moving forward. Polished silver executed into the strength of a knot, these are truly one of the quintessential cufflinks.

#3:       Infinity Edge Engravable Cufflinks

Every man should own a pair of cufflinks with their monogram. They are the perfect personalized gift and stand the test of time. 2014 featured a monogram explosion from hats to backpacks. We agree with the movement, but with sweet subtlety. Please don’t pair these with your monogrammed sleeves.

#2:       Silver Watch Movement Cufflinks

2014 marked the release of details on the iWatch, Fit Bit and other devices that will tell you everything from the time to your vital signs. The Watch Movement is a throwback to a more elegant time. The cufflinks feature movements taken from old watches and evoke a style from a different era.

#1:       Superman Cufflinks

Every boy grows up dreaming of being the Man of Steel. "Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!” These daring, resourceful cufflinks will make you feel one part Clark Kent, one part superhero.
