Why should you wear cufflinks?

Wearing cufflinks gives the finishing touch to your outfit. After a functional beginning to hold your shirt cuffs together, cufflinks are now a style statement! After all, the alternative are the standard (mostly plastic) buttons on your shirt. Cufflinks are a conspicuous but subtle piece of jewelry.

Why were cufflinks worn?

The origin of cufflinks dates back to the early 17th century. At that time, cufflinks were functional because it was not possible to wash shirts every day. The solution was to wear removable collars or cuffs on the sleeves. These cuffs were then closed with cufflinks! From the end of the 18th century, it became more common to wear a clean shirt every day. This made cufflinks unnecessary, however, they have always remained a stylish accessory!
