Cufflinks can be a great way to add some additional style and flair to your outfit and provide a classic and elegant look in many different situations. At Wellesley Row, we’ve helped many find the perfect pair of men’s sterling silver cufflinks, but if you’re not sure when and where to wear cufflinks, don’t worry, we’re here to help.
Below you’ll find everything you need to know about the many different types of cufflinks out there and what type of occasions call for them.
White & Black Tie Events
Cufflinks are most commonly worn at white and black tie events. These are events like balls, weddings, galas, or any other important social gatherings that may require fine dress. Of course, you don’t always have to wear a tux when wearing cufflinks; they go great with both traditional suits, as well as classic, button-down shirts. The only thing you’ll need to make sure of is that the shirt you’ll be wearing is designed with cuffs that can be worn with cufflinks.

You can create a unique outfit with cufflinks by wearing them out to an important meeting, a job interview, a date, or even holiday parties. Cufflinks can elevate your look and style while also providing the same sense of class they do in more formal settings.

So, the first thing you’ll need to do to determine whether cufflinks will be appropriate for your outfit is to assess your dress shirt - if there are no buttons, then you’re good to go. However, it’s also important to note that most cufflinks require three main types of dress shirt cuffs, which are:
