Mens wear received a face-lift over 400 years ago with the introduction of the cufflink. While most fashion trends among men come and go, the cufflink has proven it has staying power. The practical purpose of the cufflink was simply to secure shirt cuffs where buttons were once found, but there is no denying the classic look of a pair of well crafted cufflinks. The cufflink resolves the modern day problems often found with buttons. Buttons come up missing as the thread begins to weaken. Buttons also tend to break easy after a few dry cleanings.
Gone are the days when cufflinks were once thought to be reserved for formal wear, such as tuxedos, and for men of wealth and power. Not anymore! With the introduction of less expensive, but equally astonishing cufflinks, more and more men are adding them to their everyday wardrobe. Cufflinks have been made affordable with the introduction of other materials, such as, steel, aluminum, glass, stone, titanium, gold, silver, platinum and other variations of metals and precious metals.
