That Little Thing At The End
Author: Jason Tye

Men seldom shop, we all know that. They spend less time looking
around for clothes and they're the type that settles for what
they see first, unlike women who go around the stalls checking
every style available. When it comes to dressing up though, men
and women are in equal footing. Both exert more effort in
looking good especially when attending important gatherings and
events. While women's fashion can change from season to season
based on colors, cuts, and fabrics, men's are somewhat more
constant with just a little variation.

The most detail that details can go in men's formal or
corporate fashion is the tie and the cufflinks. Cufflinks are
like earrings to women: small, but can make such a strong
statement about one's personality. Cufflinks are worn with
French cuff shirts. These are shirts that have holes at the end
of the sleeves where you put the cufflinks to hold the sleeves
together. There are three kinds of cuffs: plain, angle cut, or
round corner. Small as they may be, they grab attention and can
give you a lot of class. They come in gold, silver, or there are
even colored ones. There is also a rule when it comes to wearing
them: technically it should match the color of your belt buckle
or wristwatch. Other men's fashion stylebook does not recommend
wearing cufflinks when there is already a bracelet on. Different
occasions also require proper cufflinks. There are those that
are made for formal occasions (i.e. wedding, business meetings,
funerals) but cufflinks also have a playful side. They have
themes that can match a personality, like sports, music, and
many more. Men who wear cufflinks all agree that it does make
give them more confidence and attitude. Although just like in
women's accessories, the cufflinks should not be the center of
the wardrobe. It should only add drama, accentuate or complement
the entire wardrobe.

Even though the fashion world evolves even faster than the
world does, classics certainly never go away. No matter what
kind of fabric, style, or cut emerges, accessories such as
cufflinks remain stylish. It is a hit or miss piece of fashion:
when done correctly it gives you a lot of class; when done the
wrong way, it will definitely ruin your wardrobe, not to mention
your image.

But clueless men out there need not be intimidated with these
little cufflinks. There are many online fashion tutorials for
men who are clueless with what these are and its purposes. The
rules are endless, so just find one that you think is right and
follow it. Also don't be afraid to ask maybe your father or
grandfather, because now that fashion has become modernized the
younger generations do not know classic fashion. It will also
not hurt for women to learn men's fashion. It's never too late
for anyone – male or female – to learn the dos and don'ts of
fashion. After all, these are not just trends, dressing up
properly is considered social etiquette.

Fashion need not be intimidating or confusing. Just let your
individual style show and give it a lot of class.
