Which Way Do You Wear Cufflinks?
Insert the cufflink through both holes in the shirt's cuff. The colored, decorative part of the cufflink (usually black or ivory), should face the outside when your arm is at your side. On the backside of the cuff, flip the bar to hold the cufflink in place.

Subsequently, one may also ask, are cufflinks in style?

In fact, cufflinks are a great way to liven up an office outfit without breaking the dress code. In particular, they are an excellent option for enhancing the appearance of a plain white shirt. As a white shirt appears neutral and understated, it's easy to add a variety of different and exciting cufflink styles.

Likewise, why are cufflinks curved? Instead, the style uses a spherical head attached to a curved bar at the back. Due to its rigid body, the ball return cufflink is significantly easier to affix than the chain design. Simply line your buttonholes up, pop the smaller end through, and you're ready to go.

Likewise, can I wear cufflinks with any shirt?

You can wear cufflinks with either a single cuff or with a double cuff. The single cuff looks much like a regular pair of cuff on a dress shirt but with holes on both sides. Insert the cufflink all the way through both holes on the cuff of the shirt.

Do you need a special shirt for cufflinks?

For the mechanics of cufflinks, you need to be wearing a shirt with double cuffs (French cuffs). Double cuff shirts have no buttons, while single cuff shirts do. If you have a shirt that you want to wear cufflinks with but it has a single cuff, don't worry. This is usually an easy enough fix for a tailor.
