Stylishly dressed men and women put on cufflinks and studs to add ornamentation to their shirts.

For occasions that require black tie dress, men add studs to their formal dress shirts as a form of male jewelry. Used to secure French cuffs, cufflinks, often signify the wearer’s personal style and taste.

If you are attending a formal ball or wedding and want to put on cufflinks and studs properly, use these instructions to add a little sartorial splendor to your menswear.

Put on your cufflinks to dress up your French cuff shirts

A cufflink is a small device with a swivel bar attached to a decorative button or gemstone. First, ensure that the holes in the cuffs are aligned together.

Types of cufflinks include: Bullet closures, Whale back closure, Fixed Backing, Chain Links, Ball Return and Silk Knots.

To add a cufflink to your dress shirt, push the swivel bar closed to push the bar through the hole in cuff.

Open the swivel bar into the t-position to secure the shirt. To remove the cufflinks, close the t-position to remove the cufflink from the cuffed-sleeve.
