And have you ever thought about the fact that cufflinks fulfill not only a stylish side, but also a historical one? Does that sound absurd to you? Just think about how many major political statements, inaugurations, in short, a large percentage of not only political and business matters that have touched history, were precisely cufflinks.
And have you ever thought about the fact that cufflinks fulfill not only a stylish side, but also a historical one? Does that sound absurd to you? Just think about how many major political statements, inaugurations, in short, a large percentage of not only political and business matters that have touched history, were precisely cufflinks. Does such an insignificant ornament have any magic or charm in it? I won't exaggerate, but it sure has charm. An original but tasteful cufflink makes the wrist more elegant and makes any model special.
Cufflinks, as such, first appeared in the sixteenth century during the reign of Louis XIV, but they did not reach the consciousness of wider, and rather higher, society until the nineteenth century. They have become among the immortal elements of good taste.
Cufflinks are made for special shirts with a double, so-called French cuff, which have buttonholes on both sides, but - no buttons inside. Wearing cufflinks with a shirt with a simple cuff was even considered a social offense in the past. We can therefore easily divide them according to the method of fastening into "kissing", i.e. those whose ends are pressed together, and "barrel style", when one end of the cuff overlaps the other.
Let's look, for example, at a famous figure in Czech politics. If you think that the election of Mr. Zeman as president was due to his knowledge, intellect or excellent ability to use words, you are of course right. However, an important factor for such a personality is a sophisticated appearance, and therefore the suit and the chosen jewelry should emphasize his individuality, give him a touch of grace, which cufflinks fulfill.
However, this statement does not only apply to "tie-wearing" men, but also to men who take their suits out no more than three times a year, for example to a ball.
And it is with prom season that the demand for decent, modest accessories grows. You can meet different, often even crazy pieces. Apparently, nothing can stop designers from progressing in the fashion industry and they come up with different ways to attract attention with something distinctive, non-traditional - and at the same time? At the same time, so traditional! Come to think of it, have you ever thought of putting a lighter and a cufflink together? How practical!
But watch out! It is no longer the case that cufflinks have to be worn only with suits and that they are exclusively a man's affair. Women are not left behind - because it looks great!
If you made it to the very end of this article, you can see that cufflinks really caught your attention. So is there anything holding you back from buying? Shop for husbands, brothers, fathers, uncles, sons, but treat yourself too!
