From Off-the-Cuff to Classy, These Are the Best Cufflinks to Show Off Your Style

A set of cufflinks aren’t a necessary accessory on a day-to-day basis, but they’re a damn fashionable demonstration of your personal style and a great way to accentuate how to wear a suit.

If you’re wearing a suit with a white tie or black tie properly, it will likely have links at the cuffs for you to fill. From elegant options such as the stunning Haspel seersucker links, classic gold engravable cufflinks from Brooks Brothers, to a more playful pick like the gear inspired rose gold-plated pair from Tateossian — your options for showing off your personality in good taste are endless. Cufflinks are also an easily forgotten, yet truly appreciated gift idea for Dad, a family member, or coworker.

Just keep in mind, however, that you should be mindful for when you wear certain styles. You wouldn’t want to wear your beer cap cufflinks to a fancy feast, nor would you want to wear a pair of diamond-plated gems to cuff the end of your shirt at any old function. With that out of the way, let’s dig into some of our favorite affordable and extravagant cufflink options.

The best Swiss watches under $500: Your best buy is a Swatch watch (and these are the best)
There's more than just the ultra-trendy moonswatch
Swatch watch

Most of us have our favorite watch, which we wear on our wrists to look elegant, mature, and ready to face the world personally and professionally. However, we also want a second watch that is stylish, fun, and expressive. We want a way to show off our personality. That is where a Swatch watch comes in. While some people believe it stands for Swiss watches because it is a watch brand in the watch capital of the world, Switzerland, it actually stands for "second watch" because the company realizes there's a market for fun alternatives to classic men's watches.

With the oversaturated industry of men's watches often adopting a stuffy and old-school feel, Swatches are intended to be different—more fun than your Rolex or Omega but as dependable as both. The choices in watches are aplenty, but here are the ones to keep your eye on.

Smartwatches are the newest innovation in wrist-adorned timekeeping, and they have done a lot to both elevate and upset the watch industry. While they can do everything (almost) that your phone can do, they have also relegated your "dumb watch" to the shelf, where it only comes out on special occasions. Of course, Apple leads the way with the most popular smartwatches on the market, but there is a downside to wearing your Apple watch every day.

Apple watches are about function over fashion. For a long time, we traded in the fashionable side of our favorite watches to be in tune with our bodies and get our messages and notifications without pulling out our phones. But you can bridge the gap between function and fashion in two ways: the watch band and the watch face. The best thing about Apple watches is that both of these aspects are easy to change for a great look every day. There are a lot of options out there, but here are the best Apple watch bands for men to spruce up your smartwatch.
