Cuff
Links
A
cufflink (also cuff link
or cuff-link ) is a decorative
fastener worn by men or women to fasten the two sides
of the cuff on a dress shirt or blouse .
Cufflinks are designed only for use with link cuffs
(also known as French Cuffs), which have buttonholes
on both sides but no buttons . These may be either
single or double-length ("French") cuffs, and may
be worn either "kissing," with the ends pinched together,
or "barrel-style," with one end overlapping the other.
Kissing cuffs are usually preferred.
Traditional dress required that French cuffs be worn
with a tie and jacket. However due to the emergence
of business casual, many are now wearing French cuffs
without tie or jacket. |
