Welcome Fall With Shiny New Cufflinks

Summer is prime time for casual dressing. You can wear shoes without socks, cutoffs and even show a little toe if you dare (even though we don’t condone it), all without judgement from the peanut gallery. Suns out guns out, as they say. No matter how you phrase it, everyone is showing a little skin and shouldn’t feel badly about doing so. But as the temperatures cool and layers begin to reappear, it’s necessary to step up your outfit game and remember it’s not all tank tops and boat shoes anymore. And because you’re a stylish man of no frills, sometimes the best way to add shine is with a great pair of cufflinks. So dust off those French cuffs and check out some of our favorites for fall below. Until next year, mandals.

Luxury

Contemporary

Delfina Delettrez Orgy Cufflinks
As a fourth-generation Fendi, Delfina Delettrez knows superb design.

These silver orgy cufflinks are no different, designed to subtly stir whoever puts them on… or takes them off for that matter. $455, openingceremony.com

Everyday

Selected Kayne Cufflinks
Selected never looks directly to the trends when designing their simple, masculine accessories. They would rather take the edgy, elegant road, always paying close attention to the details at hand. The Kanye Cufflinks are polished and sexy, perfect for the office and pretty much everything else too. $30.38, asos.com

Vintage

1920s Art Deco Cufflinks
Why buy new when you can look to the past for inspiration? A great example: these 1920s Art Deco vintage cufflinks. Engraved metal with mother of pearl and a splash of mint green make them painfully dapper. Plus we can’t get over the cool factor of their old-school snap closure. $45, etsy.com

Doxa’s Sub 200T watch is a new, smaller version of the Classic 300 design
Doxa introduces smaller version of Sub 300
Doxa Sub 200T series

Doxa watches aren't exactly the word on the tip of anyone's tongue when they think of their favorite brands; however, they have developed their own community, and some might dub them a cult following. The brand recently unveiled its latest Doxa watch, the Sub 200T which has sent a lightning strike through the hearts of fans, as it's unmistakably more compact than the iconic 300T and 600T models. The lack of smaller options has always been a common complaint among fans of the brand, and with consumer behavior veering more and more in this direction, it's no surprise that the latest iteration is just 39mm. The iconic design of the Classic 300 has been shrunk down to something more compact, sleek, and contemporary.
The new Doxa Sub 200T has a color for every taste

On top of that, the kaleidoscope of color options available from Doxa watches will surely satisfy every taste, from those who like bright and sporty models to those who prefer something a little more classic and subdued. The dial features a sunray-finished design with a luminous sunburst effect, and it comes with two strap options: a stainless steel bracelet with a "beads of rice" design and an FKM rubber strap that comes with folding clasps and ratcheting wetsuit extensions.

Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang gets an icy new color
Hublot reveals new Big Bang in Glacier Blue
Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.
