CuffLinks in button down shirts

I hear this one quite often - should I wear a set of cuff links on a usual bottun down shirt? There's a couple of schools of thought.

Firstly, can you wear them on this style of shirt? Yep, absolutely. Most have a hole sewn into the shirt next to the button which allows for a cuffllink clasp to pass through.

However, this is not how the shirt is designed to be worn therefore often the cuff appears quite loose and 'floppy'.

10 years ago it used to be very expensive to buy French - cuffed shirts. Usually around $100 AUD would see you with a decent shirt. But over the past few years the french - cuffed shirts have become far more affordable. In addition, most formal, black tie shirts actually do not allow you to button down the cuffs, so you need to have some cufflinks to hold the shirt together!

My thoughts are - if you have a nice set of cufflinks, you really should invest in a good quality french cuffed shirt to complete your look. And of course, if your event is formal, it is expected to have a classic silver / black set of cufflinks to complete the look. And don't forget to polish your shoes!
