Hit the Links
Dress up your cuffs with killer clasps
Cuff links add understated bling to dress shirts, attracting more compliments per square inch than any other stitch you've got on.

Simple
Stick to a simple shape with Burberry’s Check cuff links. Embossed with the famous check pattern, they’re available in silver or gold. If lines are too much for you, Plate cuff links subtly feature the Burberry logo and equestrian knight.
Check $180, Plate $145 at Neiman Marcus stores and neimanmarcus.com

Snazzy
Paul Smith’s links are covered with the British designer’s famous multi-stripe pattern. If you don’t like the way they sit on your wrists, Smith has a wide selection of quirky cuff linkage, including naked ladies, optical illusion-inspired lenticular models and old school typewriter keys.
$85-120 at Paul Smith, 8221 Melrose Ave. (323-951-4800)

Sardonic
Made of travel-size letter squares mounted on sterling silver swivel-post settings, Letter Perfect’s Scrabble cuff links let you sport your initials or score your favorite two-letter combo without coming across as self-important. Word nerd, now that's a different story.
