They represent a touch of character, an effortless glamour, an element inspired from the men’s wardrobe that looks so good on a woman, just as the tuxedo does. Cufflinks. An elegant accessory or a unique piece of jewelry that has the power to personalize your look, for a superb flair.
But one women still don’t give that much attention to as I was talking to Ingrid from Life and Luxury a few weeks ago. We are both looking for French cuff shirts and have realized how poor the offer is. I have the same problem with ladylike cufflinks. In fact I hardly found something even online (except for Thomas Pink) when I searched for images for this post. Do you wear cufflink shirts? If so, where do you shop?

still looking for my shirt for the perfect cufflinks… I will let you know if I find something – maybe on my next trips in one month 🙂
Oh, I remember that I used them many years ago, when I was a cool teenager. I don’t use them now, but there are so chic. Sorry, I don’t know where you can find them, but I’ll let you know if I find something interesting. Xxxx
You have just reminded me how much i love a cuffed shirt and i havent seen any for years – great post – i am def on the lookout x

Those cufflinks are so awesome!
Hope you are having a lovely day xxx
Oh this is great indeed. Always love a white shirt….still looking for that almost perfect one.
Have a beautiful day.

I do not wear them, just admire the ones that my special one acquires. I actually tend to give up the shirts and replace them with some other pieces (actually I want to wear more dresses and less skirt/shirt outfits). So, I can not help you, but if I bump into some precious information, I will let you know!

Want to know something? I never wear a shirt with skirt (unless it’s a short skirt and I want to play it up by matching a crisp white shirt to it, plus ballerinas of elegant flat sandals, not heels, never heels with mini!), that corporate look has always been too much for me, regardless of my jobs. So it’s shirt and jeans usually. 🙂
🙂 I like what you said about mini and flats 😉 I was actually very keen on the office look and my shirts with skirts outfits when I started working…aaa, 5 years ago 😀 but I had it! So, I am trying to change my style a little bit! 😉 but I hope you understood that I love cuff links 😉
Beautiful choices, Ada! I love tailored shirts and cufflinks. J has one and it’s just fabulous. And I purchased a pair of cufflinks for a female friend of mine last year for Christmas. It’s true that the offerings are kind of slim but these that you posted are lovely!
xoxo
Lovely cuffs! These are fabulous blings! Enjoy the gorgeous day, Kellie xx
I’ve never ever wore them! I never actually thought of wearing them. Silly silly me – I feel like I missed a huge opportunity! What a chic statement. Thank you for inspiring me, darling! x
Oooohhh cufflinks! Now there’s a thought! I have tons of shirts from crisp white and pinstripes to flannel (don’t judge Ada, I know that’s not your style … or is it??) but I’ve never thought of wearing cufflinks. I’m on the lookout for some now! Have you looked at Anne Fontaine? I often think their shirts should be displayed as art!
love the look of men’s apparel!

Ok i have a confession to make, I sometimes wear my hubby’s cufflinks!!!!!
@m
Me too, Monica! haven’t found ladylike ones and I always love a masculine touch in a feminine look. 😉
Yea, good idea! Especially because I’m a shirt addict.
I love cufflinks and I don’t actually know why I never wear them, ’cause they’d go very well with so many of my manly outfits! Thanks for the inspiration ^.^ x
Eeek! I love the little hat ones! So darling!
I’m of no help here. I don’t use cufflinks but when I look at that top photo then I think that maybe I should!
I have never worn them before! Maybe you should start your own life of ladies cufflinks 🙂
Great post.
i hope you can check out mine!

Ada,
I’ve never had a cuff shirt but I looking at this images, it could be quite elegant to wear one.
Brooks Brothers for french cuff shirts. I have 2 french cuff shirts, the same one, one in white, the other in black, from Armani Exchange of all places. As far as the cufflinks go, when in doubt ebay.
