Men's Fashion Accessories – Designer Cufflinks
Forzieri, Loma, Cuff-Daddy – Fashionable, Artistic, Stylish
Aug 1, 2009
Cufflinks are an exquisite topping on an already perfect wardrobe – a distinct and directly impactful style accessory for men. Chosen and paired correctly, a pair of quality cufflinks can impart a sartorial veneer that can upgrade nearly any ensemble – smart casual, clubwear, or more traditional business or formal layouts.
Designer Cufflinks for Men Forzieri, Loma, Cuff-Daddy
Designer cufflinks range from the fairly inexpensive to the truly elite, from affordable style providers Cuff-Daddy to luxurious European flair from Forzieri and onward to the avante-garde colour studies provided by Loma.
Cuff-Daddy certainly is a very well-thought out choice for gentlemen who are more interested in fashion cufflinks – quality pieces that do not break the bank at the same time! The urban, modern influence exerted by many Cuff-Daddy cufflinks is tempered by a classical European influence as evidenced by extensive use of millefiori and checkered print patterns.
Forzieri represents the high fashion style; almost a reversal of Cuff-Daddy in the sense that it is a hybridization of European influence and inspiration tempered with a slight infusion of North American modernity. Some truly beautiful and memorable pieces produced by Forzieri benefit from unique design aesthetics, such as the prevalent of use of mother-of-pearl mosaics, or versatile but masterfully crafted metal works.
Loma is another designer that men looking for a great, visually appealing set of cufflinks might want to consider. Essentially floral, organic artworks that perhaps are reminescent of paint on a canvas, the cufflinks normally designed by Loma are truly compelling and are the perfect match for the executive, the artist, or simply the community character. Entirely focussed on colour and shape, these artistic cufflinks are prize possessions and wardrobe essentials.
Why Wear Cufflinks? Aren't They Too Formal?
Cufflinks are formalwear, yes – but they are also fashionable and smart casual wear. A pair of slim fitting cotton casual pants can be worn with a lightweight, lightly coloured shirt with convertible cuffs or light french cuffs. The same goes for attractive hues of denim paired correctly with a pastel or brightly coloured shirt – blazer or no. The cufflink has been removed from the list of items to be worn solely at weddings, balls, galas, funerals, and other formal events.
That being said, there will always be a very special place reserved for the cufflink – often a family heirloom passed down from father to son. Even without this sentimental attachment to one of the most favoured and varied accessory amongst the well dressed man's wardrobe repertoire, the cufflink remains a strange juxtaposition of traditional class and modern style.
