Cufflinks - an original, unusual accessory - will help to add conciseness and grace to the image. For a long time it was considered exclusively masculine, but over time it began to be used by the beautiful half of humanity.

How to wear?
Men should wear cufflinks with shirts, the cuffs of which look 1.5-2 cm from the sleeve of the jacket. Women do not have to follow this rule and put on a jacket - without it, the image will turn out to be no less attractive.

- Butterfly. Ladies also wear them, albeit much less often than men. The butterfly is used only for special occasions, so any decoration will be in perfect harmony with the accessory.
- White shirt. It looks great with products of various shapes. You can create a sophisticated look by wearing gold cufflinks with a white shirt.
- Black shirt. Everything is more complicated here - silver cufflinks with lilac, black, blue, green stones are well suited to black clothes. Gold jewelry in combination with a shirt of this shade will add vulgarity along with it.

You should not wear too much jewelry - the kit will be too shiny. It is enough to insert earrings-beads into the ears, tie a tie-bow made of silk fabric around the neck or take a small laconic clutch.
