Choosing Cuff Links For Everyday Wear

Choosing Cuff Links For Everyday Wear
By JM Anderson
Many believe that the way you choose to convey your outward
appearance is a reflection of your true self. When you first
meet someone, this is your opportunity to make a memorable
first impression. If you dress to impress, the people around
you will notice because whether or not they realize it, people
often make decisions based on appearance. For a man, choosing
the right cuff links may not seem important, but these small
accessories may very well be the staple that pulls the entire
look together.
If you want to dress to impress, this doesn’t mean you have to
wear uncomfortable shoes and a business suit every day. But,
for a man who wears a suit to work, cuff links are a must. If
he dresses business casual, which may mean a khaki pant and
dress shirt, cuff links will be even more visible than when
worn with a suit jacet. As a general rule, cuff links should be
made of the same color metal as the belt buckle, watch or
wedding band that a man wears. If the accessories match, it
will lend to the fact that this is a well dressed man who takes
the time to coordinate his look.
For those situations that do not require professional dressing,
but rather are more appropriate for casual wear, cuff links can
still be worn for a family reunion, a company holiday party or
a first date. If you dress to impress, you do it according to
the event and that is where accessory planning comes into play.
As important as it is to dress for success, it is equally
important to dress for yourself. In order to know how to do
this, you need to know which styles of cuff links suit you best
and which are appropriate for your style of dressing.
Cuff links are available in either goldtone or silvertone, but
premium designs are also often available in genuine gold and/or
sterling silver. The precious metals are more expensive, but
will last for a lifetime. If you are just experimenting with
various styles of cuff links, the most economical choice will
be goldtone or silvertone. These are easily found at any
menswear store and even online, but the precious metal cuff
links are more scarce in today’s marketplace. They can,
however, often be found in high-end menswear stores and even
jewelers may carry cuff links in your choice of genuine gold or
silver.
