There are also different ways to close a cufflink, depending on the cufflink's design and type. Here are some types that are in the market:
Swivel post cufflinks
They are the most common and easiest to use especially for first-timers. They are easy to identify because of they're three small posts attached to the back of each decorative face. The two outer posts of this closure mechanism are fixed, while the middle post rotates between them. When open, the three posts are shaped like a "T" . To attach a swivel post cufflink , you have to close the swivel bar, insert it through the overlapping button holes, and open it again and your cufflink is in place.
Button-style cufflinks
Button-style cufflinks contain two buttons which have a short piece of chain or elastic thread. To wear button-style cufflinks, simply slip in the other button through the overlapped buttonholes then clip them together.
Clip-style cufflinks
Clip-style cufflinks look like 2 identical buttons, one in front and the other one at the back. They have a front and back and clip together in the middle where they meet inside the aligned buttonholes.
To wear it, just align the clip-style cufflinks on either side of the overlapped buttonholes then clip them together.
Knot cufflinks
Knot cufflinks look and function similar as button-style cufflinks, only they're made by 2 silk knots instead of buttons, and silk cord instead of a chain.
It should be kept in mind that cufflinks should not overwhelm an outfit. Instead, they should be understated and match the shirt, jacket or other jewelry. It is most common to match a shirt with a colored cufflink. For less formal occasions, cufflinks are often silver or gold toned metals and may have a colored stone. Although stainless steel cufflinks are becoming are becoming a trend in the corporate setting, it is always acceptable to wear the classic real silver and gold cufflinks for less formal occasions. For a more formal occasion, it is common to match the jacket being worn. White mother-of-pearl or onyx are some of the stones most commonly used to make cufflinks. There are cufflinks that have gemstones or elaborate designs, and they come in style during flashy occasions.
