A Man's Guide to Cufflinks | Ultimate Cufflink Purchase Guide | How to Buy Men's Cuff-links

About this video

Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to cufflinks, covering their definition, purpose, and styling. He explains the seven main types of cufflinks, various materials available, proper wearing techniques, and argues that cufflinks are an underutilized way for men to add subtle style and character to formal and casual attire.

Key takeaways

• Centeno identifies cufflinks as jewelry that replaces buttons on dress shirts and can be worn on any occasion, though they originated in formal black-tie settings
• Centeno describes seven types of cufflinks—whale back, bullet back, stud, chain link, locking dual-action, ball return, and knot—each with different functionality and ease of use
• Centeno recommends checking for double holes on shirt cuffs to wear cufflinks and demonstrates two wearing styles: the ‘folded way’ with overlap and the ‘kissing’ style where cuffs meet together
• Centeno argues that cufflinks range from inexpensive silk or cotton materials to high-end jewelry with precious stones like lapis lazuli or diamonds, allowing men to express style through subtle, close-range details
