How to Wear Cufflinks

Learn how to wear cufflinks to make an ordinary shirt look extraordinary. Add a set of designer or custom cufflinks to turn an outfit from boring to exciting or classy in one easy stroke. Novelty cufflinks also go well with a pair of jeans and stylish shirt. Many people have no clue how to correctly wear cufflinks and find them intimidating. The easiest type to wear are swivel post cufflinks. They come in many designs, ranging from expensive designer links to novelty cufflinks. Novelty links include animal designs and sports teams. Cufflinks are made from simple materials like glass or sterling silver or expensive materials like gold or platinum. There are links for every budget and personal style.

1. First: Preparation

   Look on the back of your cuffs. There are three small posts, two fixed with a third rotating between them. Rotate the third post so it is closed and parallel with the others. Then hold the two sides of your cuffs together. Do not overlap them but have them back to back, with the two holes touching one another. It is a little different process than simply fastening a button.

2. Second: Slide in the posts

   Slide the three posts through both holes, pointing them towards you. Once the post is through, swivel it up. Keep it on the side closest to your thumb. That is the all you need to do to secure your cuffs. Not too bad once you get the hang of it! Properly secured cufflinks do not come loose easily and your outfit now has a stylish new look.
