The Case for Wearing Cufflinks, Featuring Oh My Got

Post by PinkDiamond »

I used to love wearing cuff links (yes, I'm that old :lol: ), and even though none of the blouses I have had over the past decades use cuff links, I still have 2 pair that have got to be from the late 60's, and are probably nearly a half century old. I'm not, since I started counting backwards on birthdays years ago, but they are by now. :mrgreen:

There are lots of gorgeous sets to drool over, and unlike mine, these have real stones, with prices to match. I'd show you mine, but it would be embarrassing to put costume cuff links with paste stones, in with these. :lol:

I'm not including the first pic in the story itself, since the suit they show, aside from being garish, has button cuffs. Duh! :roll:

Anybody here like cuff links, or are all of us too into casual clothes now to even keep them around in the hopes of a comeback, which might be now? :?:

The starfish are my favorites in this lot, but the ones I'm showing are also gorgeous. Enjoy! :)

"Though it certainly depends who you ask, I think many would agree that cufflinks simply are not a staple in the modern jewelry collection. With many workplaces embracing a more casual dress code (not all, but plenty) and an increasing number of people working from home or in shared workspaces, there simply isn’t the need for that much polish.

Case in point: The ad man of the 1950s would wear what? Likely a full suit, right down to the high-gloss shoes. The ad man of today (do we even call them ad men?)—flannel button downs and jeans.

Nothing wrong with that (I’m all about the casual comfort myself), but for the lonely cufflink, it’s a sad existence. It answers the call for those who do dress formally for work every day, but for the most part, it’s just not as high in demand as it used to be.

Here’s the thing, though: It totally should be. And not just for men in suits, either. Fashion has become increasingly gender fluid. It’s not just about the “boyfriend jeans” anymore, and jewelry should be no different.

If you checked out the looks from New York Fashion Week—from the runway to the front row and even the streets outside the shows—you might have noticed a big trend: suits. They were absolutely everywhere, and in a wide variety of styles, from the tailored-to-a-t to the more casual, all-denim variety. Angela Basset even wore a suit by Dent de Man, a line created for men, on the PR trail for Black Panther (and looked oh-so-cool in it).

So if we’re all wearing suits of all shapes, sizes, and styles anyway, why not break out the cufflinks? And actually, you don’t even really need a suit—just a simple white button-down will do. We’re jewelry people: Why would we not embrace every opportunity (and place) to wear jewelry?

Fortunately, Oh My Got makes that really easy. According to the Antwerp-based jewelers’ website, “Clothes make the man, cufflinks seal the style.”

Let’s update that to include men and women, and rejoice in the updated styles provided by the brand. With so many colorful and whimsical styles, there are endless shirt-and-cufflink pairing opportunities and a wide range of tastes to appeal to. I call dibs on the soccer ball pair! ... "

Yup, particularly for coats. Gone the way of fur clips, I expect.
