Cufflinks: Going beyond their aesthetic brilliance, cufflinks do serve an old world function. They were initially curated to hold the cuffs of your shirt together- so you can think of them as the rich man's button. Although in today's fashion landscape we're accustomed to more modern conveniences such as buttons—cufflinks are one of those timeless artifacts that will never go out of style. Cufflinks have a very prosperous history. They were created in the 1600s out of necessity and have only flourished and spread since then. Today, cufflinks are generally prized for their aesthetic sensibility, but they still hold their functional appeal. Any shirt that is fixed with buttonholes in the cuffs can be adorned with a flashy pair of cufflinks. Their marrying functional and ornamental qualities makes cufflinks one of the most worthwhile fashion investments you'll ever make.
