What are your thoughts on this? A good friend of mine, Jean told me the other day that it was the French was invented the cufflinks. He even boasted that without the French, the world’s fashion will not be as advanced as it is now.
Well, for a true red, white and blue like yours truly, I tend to be more American centric in my views of things. I know the French, Italians are fashion powerhouses, but New York is AT LEAST on par with them, if not better!
So faithful readers…,
1. Did the French really invented the cufflinks?
2. Do you think NY is ahead of Paris and Milan with regards to fashion taste/sense?

As you may already know, China and India are currently the two most populous countries in the world. According to IDB, China’s population was around 1.34b while India was around 1.17b. Putting things in perspective, the United States which is the 3rd most populous country in the world, has only 3.1m residents.
The same site revealed that there are 7 Asian countries in the top 10 of the world’s most populous countries. The remaining 3 are US, Brazil and Nigeria.
Having a large population does not guarantee that the demand of cufflinks from these countries will be high. That is because cufflinks are considered luxury items. Most of the people in emerging countries are more occupied with basic necessities like food and healthcare.
But in the recent years, we have seen some of these countries’ economy expanding at a very rapid pace. China is now the 3rd largest economy in the world after US and Japan. According to many studies, it is a matter of time before the Chinese will be 2nd and eventually 1st. Similarly, India’s economy have also been growing significantly and will continue to do so in the near future.
With a growing and expanding economy, there will be more wealthy people in these countries. As such, their spending behavior will shift from basic necessities to luxury goods. One luxury item that is expected to be in demand is the cufflinks.
In fact, the chinese and indians are already two of the largest manufacturers of cufflinks in the world. It is therefore very easy for their citizens to be acquainted the accessory.
Watch out for these Asian countries with large population. I believe the demand for cufflinks from them will exceed that of the West pretty soon.
Many people have asked me about the correct way of matching your cufflinks to your entire attire. Despite having worn cufflinks for many years, I decided to go online to gather as much information as I can on this topic.
Not surprisingly, most of the thoughts and ideas are similar. Here, I will summarize some of my findings.
1. Before you even think of matching your cufflinks, you need to select the right type of cufflinks for the occasion. For example, you should not wear funny but inappropriate novelty cufflinks when you are attending a formal event. Wear a pair of elegant and stylish cufflinks instead.
2. As much as you can, try to match your cufflinks to these clothing item, listed here in the order of importance.
a. Shirt. Try to have some color contrast between your cufflinks and your shirt, so that the cufflinks can stand out.
b. Necktie. The color tone of your cufflinks should be close to your necktie.
c. Wristwatch. Try to match the base color of your cufflinks to the wristwatch’s color. If the color of your watch is silver, then a pair of silver cufflinks will go well with it. Never wear a pair of green cufflinks with a gold watch!
d. Belt. Generally, the rule on wristwatch should be applied to the belt buckle as well. Do your best to match the cufflinks color to your belt buckle’s color.
Using these simple rules, you can be sure that you dress code will be impeccable and stylish wherever you go.
