Things You'll Need:
- Cufflinks
- A shirt with link cuffs, opposed to barrel cuffs
-
Step 1
Put your shirt on completely with your arms through the sleeves.
-
Step 2
French cuffs are twice as long as normal cuffs and will have four holes in each cuff for the links. If you have a French cuffed shirt, you will have to fold it in half to align the holes for the cuff links. Do not wear two pairs of cuff links!
-
Step 3
Take a cufflink in one hand and, with the same hand, pinch the opposite cuff closed so the insides are touching each other.
-
Step 4
If you have links that have a swiveling piece, make sure that it is in the closed position. The swiveling piece will be parallel to its anchors. This will allow you to push it through the cuff more easily.
-
Step 5
Start pushing the cufflink through the holes in the cuff from the outside. This will allow the design on the link (if you have one) to be seen if your hands are at your side. If you have silk knots, it shouldn't matter which end is on the outside.
-
Step 6
Move the swiveling piece to the open position. Making the swiveling piece perpendicular to its anchors will keep the link in the cuff.
-
Step 7
Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the other sleeve.
