Cufflinks are the most important part of a dress

When you want to make a style statement, there is nothing to match a gold cufflink on a French cuff. Although gold is the safest material for stylish cufflinks, you can experiment with different materials and styles.

But the younger men can be a little bold and choose cuff links shaped like bottle openers, turtles etc. The cufflink also has to be matched to the rest of your ensemble. An improper cufflink can ruin the look of that special French cuff dress shirt.

It is not necessary to opt for any other metal. Even a golden cufflink can be jazzed up by adding stones or jazzy designing. A stylish cufflink showing on your shirt says a lot about your personality. So, when you bring out your dress shirt with French cuffs for that special occasion, be sure to match it with the perfect cufflinks.

Dress Shirt Basics - Materials

You can wear a shirt made of anything nowadays, yet 100% cotton is still the best when it comes to breathability and comfort. Poly blends will take more punishment over time yet they pucker rather than wrinkle and with how much moisture the polyester keeps in, you tend to sweat more. Linen is also a popular fabric for shirts yet it will wrinkle much more than cotton and tends to be rougher against the skin… so save linen for the casual shirts.

Like wool, cotton has rougher and smoother versions and for custom dress shirts it can all come down to a question of how thin and how soft you want your shirt. Smoother softer cottons are made with longer fibers, and the finer the fiber the tighter the thread count. Egyptian and Supima being some of the smoothest of the long fiber cottons.

The Men’s Tuxedo

The word tuxedo conjures a picture of a formal black bow-tie, a cummerbund, and the typical black jacket. This formal tradition might not seem like it leaves much room for personal style but the truth is, there are choices other than the classic tuxedo that are just as suitable for black tie events.

Here are a few options that meet the sartorial benchmark:

  • The traditional tuxedo: Your most classic tuxedo features a single breasted piece and usually a notch, shawl, peaked lapel. The satin strip may at times be wider (up to an inch) but half an inch seems to be the norm. Grosgrain facing instead of satin looks updated and elegant.
  • The morning suit: This take on the formal black tie garment features a solid black tailcoat and a striped trouser. The look was made popular amongst horse riders in the 19th century but is now suitable for more formal situations.
  • Contemporarily styled tuxedo jackets: It’s the ‘designer’s creativity’ on clothes! Mandarin Collar, Spencer, and Velvet Jackets are all options that can add a great sense of refinement to anyone’s black tie ensemble.

The traditional tuxedo is a timeless look, but there are other options for the gentleman that wants to add his personal touch.
