How to wear Cufflinks, and how to modify your shirt to use them

here is a secret about cufflinks that most people dont know about! In this video you'll see how to wear them, and how to modiify your short to use them if its not made to.

With a standard 2 button barrel-cuffed shirt you can get away with making a hole next to the button nearest the edge of the cuff after dabbing some washable fabric glue on the 'inside' - it stops the fraying. This does avoid the shortened sleve problem, and leaves the option open of still using the button if you don't want to wear cufflinks that day.

I love this guy lol. "If you're an average Joe like me, you're not gonna realize that." Exactly what happened to me when I bought my first cufflinks lol. Thanks for the video!

You don t have to fold the shirt to make the modification. In fact you end up with a sloppy modification and probably ruining the shirt that way. There are two kinds of cuff sleeves suited for cuff links. The double cuff sleeves also called french cuffs and the single cuff sleeves. Any shirt can be modified to be a single cuff sleeve for cufflinks but in order to have the french style cuffs you need to buy a double cuff sleeve shirt from the beginning

This was the best help for cuff links because I brought a few from 2nd hand shop .. I used to see Rich styled guys wearing them on there shirts in movies . So I got them for 50 cent each now this black dude can be Just like those rich white guys thanks heaps 😂😂😂

Just add the cuff links as is where the button are. Thank you. "Let me tell you a secret" not all shirts have to be folded for cuff links.

Always so many people with their expert knowledge commenting. Yes, obviously you could do all those things. Just like when people try to fix stuff instead of "Just buy a new one". Maybe we have a choice to do what we want. Maybe, like he said already, people have a bunch of shirts they don't want to throw out. My case last minute shopper. My son picked a shirt he liked out of like hundreds. We bought cufflinks came home and realized the shirt doesn't have cufflinks holes. Hence why I'm here watching this video. Thank you for your help. Don't feel like going back to the store for another shirt. Most boys and men don't care to spend time shopping either. Make use of what you have.

One tip: Buy a dress shirt with french cuffs.

Thanks for the "life hack" for cuff links. Sorry you got so many hostile replies. I think it was clear that you understood what french cuffs are. It was clearly explained that this was just a way to wear a more casual or novelty cuff link if you do not own a french cuff, & have a shirt with long enough sleeves. Thanks I may have forgot to get shirt with longer sleeves had i not watched your video. Maybe post with a different name so more of the right people & less of the wrong people get your video. like cuff link hack or something thanx, lisa

Thank you so much I'm a female and wanted to Jazz up my shirts for work I had no idea that all shirts were not made for cufflinks thank you for the tips

An other way to do this, is to make your normal cuff to be a convertible cuff which didn’t really require to have 4 layers. Simply make a button hold right beside your button, therefore u can hide your button behind the cuff while letting the cuff links pass through.
Convertible cuff have been in the market for a Long Long time.
Maybe you can see how convertible cuff work next time.

Of the 5 videos I watched this morning, yours is the only 1 that made any sense and was the most informative!

[algerrussell]

this help alot, I appreciate it and you sound similar to the main character in the movie how to train a dragon

I'm afraid you don't know about it either. 
French cuffs (the ones that you fold back) are made for cuff links and will come with the needed 4 holes. The one you're showing off here is called a double button barrel cuff which means that is meant to be fit by the outermost button and the second should be showing. No cuff-links. 
Look for french cuffs or singel cuffs when you want to wear cuflinks, those are the only 2 made for it.

Thanks for showing the difference, most shirts sold nowdays (in Europe at least) are not made for cufflinks.

[E-Rock-EJ]

Thanks man i just went and purchased a shirt and cufflinks not knowing how to wear them lol great info!

[hujanair]

Thumbs up for this video. I was watching a couple others and got confused because my dress shirts are the ones with cuff buttons as well. Thank you!

[rithwikprathap]

This was probably the best informative video I saw in a long time. Thanks man.

u dont fold over a barrel cuff, it just looks off, i think u r mixing up french and barrel cuffs
- u can make to make a barrel cuff able to work with the cufflinks simply by stitching a buttonhole between the fasten buttons and then cut it open

Makes it a helluva lot easier for me, too, since cheap dress shirts come in sizes I understand and trust (call me dense but I've had my measurements taken multiple times and they NEVER fit, but gimme even a super cheapo shirt in 'large' from Wally World and damned if it don't fit perfectly fine) and also seem to have a rather generous sleeve length. That or I have really short arms...

Regardless, this solves both problems for me!
