Men of Architectural Style

Sunday, October 31st, 2010

When one goes to Europe, one takes an instant notice of the architectural grandeur, the intricate designs and details, and the awe-inspiring buildings that are hundreds of years old. In America, our architecture is lacking those ancient intricities and the eye for detail. Our buildings seem to be made for one purpose only: functionality.

One can look the same way at cufflinks. Yes, they are used to enclose the gaps on shirt sleeves and be used in place of a button, but they also represent something aesthetically supreme (like European Architecture). They are not simply worn for functionality, but are used to represent individualism, eccentricities, and character. It always comes down to the details. These Enamel Tracery Cufflinks are reminiscent of the same architectural details we love:

Designed by LOMA, they evoke the detail oriented style that completely brings together an outfit.

Walking down the street, people notice the tiny accessories that make up an outfit. Cufflinks are that eye-catching and architectural “wow factor” to an outfit. Designer Italo Zucchelli’s new designs for Calvin Klein exhibited exactly that: crisp, sharp, and detail oriented clothes. Calvin Klein’s new fall 2010 line is representative of the masculine man looking sharply forward in a lusterless world; And similarly, these Orange Enamel Tracery Cufflinks are breaking the lackluster mold:

And to add even more color and texture to your palate, these Black and Red Quilted Cufflinks are yet another great choice for that fashion forward attitude and architectural vibe:

Elections are here, but the Rent is too damn high..

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

The battle between the feuding Donkeys and Elephants begins this week and continues on. Turn on the TV and you’ll hear each politician slander, praise, and expose the other, while enthusiastically praising themselves. In the race for governor in New York for instance, we have a politician reminiscent of Worf from Star Trek (see video below) reppin’ the “Rent is Too Damn High Party,” and another who celebrates the Jewish community while slandering the Gay community, only to take back his bigoted words a few short days later. Needless to say, our options are slim, but hey: VOTE ANYWAY.

Anyone see a similarity:

And remember, here at cufflinksman, we’re just poking fun at the already ridiculous nature of modern politics, so no hurt feelings (if you’re a Star Trek fan). Politics is a serious matter and why yes, the rent is too damn high…

Which party will you vote for this election?

So you’re going to vote, right? We know how hard it is to get out to the voting polls, especially after a long day’s work, just to fill in some bubbles and pull a little lever (each state is different). And one even questions some of the seedy, unreliable politicians out there, wondering who the “lesser of the two evils” is and “will my vote really make a difference?” But one thing is evident: your voice can and needs to be heard.

So in the light of freedom of speech, elections, politics, and a little comedy, here are some cufflinks that reflect just that–because UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU!

God Bless America… and Jimmy McMillian.

NFL Season 2010

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

What’s that in the air? Could it be the aroma of bonfires, pumpkin pie, cold ale, and nacho dip? Yes, football is back full force this season and we’re prepared for the excitement.

Don’t you just love fall? On the weekends you can just throw on a sweatshirt (or football jersey), throw back some cold beer, and play your fantasy football—but the weekdays are a different story. While we all love the cozy feel of a Sunday night game, our professional life beckons us, once again Monday morning. That’s why we offer you NFL cufflinks to amplify and personalize that stifling weekday work attire.

For all you Miami fans out there these Miami Dolphins Cufflinks are a great way to show your pride for your favorite team. If you like to attend the games in person, you’ll be sure to get compliments on any NFL cufflinks, whether you’re waiting in the beer line, raising your arms to cheer for a touchdown (or lack there-of), or simply trying to score the phone number of the lady sitting next to you.

So why let that tailored suit hide your excitement for your favorite sport? It is possible to carry the rigor of the NY Jets, Redskins, or Chicago Bears around the work place with you. It could be a good conversation starter with the boss man, lady friend, or grocery store clerk. Everyone has a favorite team, and for all you die hard fans, there are no limits. (Remember the word “fan” was derived from the word “fanatic”…) And no, you don’t have to pick from those three teams because we practically have them all.

And if you’re anxiously waiting for another season of your favorite sport to resume, you can find all your favorite sport teams here:

So this fall season, remember: kick back, relax, crack open a cold one, and remember we’re here for your “professional” sporting attire. As Buzz Lightyear once said, “[Cufflinks] for the work place annnd beyond!”
