Style Rule #98: Use Cuff Links

Style Rule #98: Use Cuff Links

There's something great about a French cuffed shirt that is just, well, classy. And putting on cuff links is a beautiful, ritualistic right of passage. You don't need 10 pair, you need one or two good pair. 

The general rule with not wearing French cuffs (and thus, cuff links) with jeans has gone out of style the last few years. A patterned-shirt with a shallow tail can easily be worn outside jeans with cuff links. Yes, even to the office.

And on those special, formal occasions? That crisp blue shirt with white French cuffs and collar? Still spiffy.

TIP: Buy a pair of cuff links that are easy to put on. As British GQ Editor Dylan Jones says, "If it takes you about 30 seconds every day to the office... and you work for 45 years, taking into account holidays, a sabbatical and illness, you will have spent 80 hours of your life putting cufflinks on. That's about 80 hours too long"

September 29, 12:40 PM
We all need a good drink once and a while. Mine as of late has been either Jameson and Coke or a Manhattan. It depends on the doldrums, I suppose. Did Arsenal loose? In that case I may drink straight vodka. Did a possible future ex-Mrs. Coyote walk... Read More

Men of Style: Paul Newman

September 28, 10:16 AM
Paul Newman was at one time (for a long time) the ultimate guy's guy. Sure you can make the argument that Steve McQueen had that title locked since 1960's The Magnificent Seven, but what McQueen did with fierceness, Newman did with his piercing... Read More

10 Items Every Man Should Own

September 12, 12:39 PM
Gone are the days of needing to have great ties and fifteen suits in varying shades of blues and grey. I mean, this isn't the 1960s and you're not drinking a high-ball at work. (Actually, if you are, toss one back for me, please.) The new man of style... Read More

Blackberry's Clamshell

September 10, 1:19 PM
Nearly every gal Stile has ever dated uses a Blackberry. Call me superstitious, but if I find one that uses an iPhone, she's finished. After all, it's nice to show off my iPod-ish features. That is until her "I can surf the web faster than you"... Read More

Late Harvest Autumn Ale

September 9, 11:44 AM
