The Top Men's Cufflinks

Cufflinks are the detail that elevates a dress shirt from functional to considered. Requiring French cuffs (double cuffs) to wear, cufflinks signal that a man has gone beyond the minimum requirements of formal dressing — they are the finishing touch on a complete formal outfit.

Why It Endures

  • Formal occasions — weddings, galas, black-tie events — continue to create demand for correct formal accessories
  • The rise of bespoke and custom shirting has driven interest in French cuff shirts that require cufflinks
  • Vintage and antique cufflinks have become collectibles at all price points from estate sales to auction
  • The cufflink as a personalized gift has created consistent gift market demand

What to Look For

  • 1Bullet-back or whale-back closures are the most practical for daily use — they fasten with one hand
  • 2Metal finish (silver vs. gold) should match your watch and other jewelry
  • 3Size should be proportional to the shirt cuff opening — oversized novelty cufflinks read as costume
  • 4Simple shapes (oval, square, round) in silver or gold read most elegantly across formal occasions
