Father’s Day is just around the corner, Sunday 2nd of September 2012 to be precise.

Are you running out of ideas on what to buy dad this year?

You bought all the “feel-good” gifts for him already. A toolbox 4 years ago, a fishing kit 3 years ago, a BluRay player 2 years ago and the “Best Dad in the World” mug and t-shirt set last year.

So what to buy this year? Here’s a thought, give him the “look-good” gifts (not that we’re saying that your dad is not good-looking enough :) Buy him cufflinks. Cufflinks that he can wear to the office, formals parties or wedding receptions.

All of our cufflinks come in a gift box and ready to be shipped to you for FREE with Express Post (within Australia).

Weddings In Mind

I love weddings.

Wedding is a one in a lifetime opportunity when you can share one of the happiest moments of your life with close friends and families. However, I have to be honest here is that the main reason that I love weddings is so that I can wear my best cufflinks attending them. Ladies like to wear elegant gowns to weddings, socialites like to wear beautiful dresses with matching hats to racing events and award ceremonies. I like to wear cufflinks to weddings.

I still remember my own wedding whereas I was conflicted on which cufflinks I would wear on that special day. I have a few cufflinks at that time that would match the ties very well but at the very last moment, I chose to wear a gold square cufflinks to signify the golden moments that were about to unfold in the next few hours of my life.

In most of the weddings that I’ve attended, the grooms and best men mostly wear cufflinks which I believe is appropriate for such a grand moment in his life since cufflinks are the best accessories that men can wear on formal occasions. Even if you decide to show up with only a suit and cuffed shirt without a tie and/or pocket square.

Therefore, when I see grooms and sometimes, their best men not wearing any cufflinks, I would cringe at the fact that the bride has spent so much time looking that perfect gown, that perfect tiara, that perfect make-up, that perfect hair, that perfect high-heeled shoes. And yet, the groom made no effort in trying to match the elegance of his bride by going “minimal” with his wedding attire i.e not wearing any cufflinks. The above does not only apply when it is your own wedding. If you’re attending someone else’s, you have to complement your partner’s look (if any) by wearing cufflinks the same way a cufflink-wearing groom would complement the bride’s gown and accessories above.

If you are single, trust me, single ladies prefer men with cares about how they look and cufflinks is definitely the indicator that they can use to gauge this.

I can present you with an analogy that describes this situation accordingly. cufflinks to male formal attire is like garnish to a fine dish. It might not look important when it’s there, but you will surely notice it when it’s not there and it can affect the overall impression of the food. Ask any chef and they can tell you that a dish without garnish is not a proper dish at all.

If you are attending a wedding anytime soon and unsure of what kind of cufflinks to wear, I can suggest the following new arrivals from Simon Carter London at Men In Mind which can be worn with any shirt without the need for a tie.

Also, remember, if you’re unsure on which color of shirt to wear, you can never go wrong with either white or ivory as any cufflinks can be worn to match these two colors.

The power of cufflinks

Men In Mind — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 07:22:51 +0000

I still remember the first time I found out that there are alternatives to the buttons that are usually used to secure sleeves on a business shirt. I was preparing myself for a job interview and a few websites suggested that I wear French-cuffed shirts with a nice pair of cufflinks.

Being a poor student that had just graduated from a university and never had to reason to buy one business shirt for the entire duration of being a university student, I was intrigued.

After a brief Google search, I then found out that all these times, they were right in front of me, worn by characters in movies and TV series and also, not to mention, by politicians. It was intended to give those cufflink-wearing characters a sense of professional superiority over the “non-wearers” which works brilliantly.

From then on, whenever there is an individual that wears a business shirt either in TV or on the street, the first thing that I wanted to know is what kind of cufflinks that he is wearing.

After a while, I started to see and understand how cufflinks could make a huge difference on the overall look of a man wearing business attires which confirms the image potrayed in the media regarding cufflink-wearers.

Cufflinks add elegance and poise. It gives the impression that the person is willing to go the extra effort to perfect and complete his professional image.

It can give potential employers the image of either looking like someone who is in need of any job or someone that is confident that he can find a suitable job.

Also, cufflinks are usually associated with a successful person that can afford the luxury of buying a business shirt that needs an additional pair of “buttons” that might be more expensive than the shirt itself.

From that point of moment in my life, I have never looked back and have always purchased business shirts with French cuffs and have always worn them on any formal event that I attended.

The best part? It gives me the extra confidence that can ultimately help to forge professional partnerships and personal relationship. Take the challenge and find out for yourself on how cufflinks can give you the extra confidence that is crucial to the life of a modern professional.

If you’re like me at that time when I was a fresh graduate, ambitious to make your mark in this world, you can certainly start off with the following cufflinks which I recommend if you are unsure of the kind of cufflinks you need and they go very well with the neutrally white business shirts.

P.S: Yes, I did get the job :)
