Want to Elevate Your Formalwear? Here’s How to Wear Cufflinks /
When it comes to men’s formal wear, all the pieces matter. Every single detail builds to something larger. The way your shirt fits under a suit, how the knot of a tie looks when it’s framed by the collar, how those two elements then fold into a more cohesive look — each piece comes together to form a sartorial Voltron. But the one element that’s often overlooked is a pair of cufflinks.
Cufflinks are fairly simplistic in their function. Instead of having a button to fasten your shirt cuff closed, cufflinks have a sort of toggle that slides through a hole that’s open on both sides, functioning as the button. Once you’ve slid it through the opening in the shirt cuff, you flip the toggle closed and your shirt is ready to wear. People prefer cufflinks because they provide yet another way to personalize a suit. Similar to a pocket square, cufflinks allow for a drop of color in an otherwise boring section of your outfit.

You Don’t Need to Play to Wear One of These 10 Stylish Rugby Shirts /
Despite their name, you don’t need to actually play rugby to wear a rugby shirt. Sure, the shirts have their origins in the thrilling and violent game, but starting in the 1950s, the shirts started to find a place outside of the game for recreational wear.
Initially made from durable, heavyweight cotton to ensure they could handle the rough and tumble conditions of the game, the shirts have become a more than viable option for those who want a thick layer to wear in the colder months. The inherently preppy look of the shirt make for a stylish option that doesn’t require a lot of work, as well. So, in honor of this versatile shirt, we’ve rounded up ten of the best rub shirts around. Take a look at our favorite modern-day takes on the shirt to help you bring some rugged swagger to your closet — regardless of whether or not you’ve ever stepped on a field.
9 Boat Shoes for Spring That Aren’t Just Your Typical Sperrys /
Even if you’ve never stepped foot on a boat before, there’s a strong possibility you’re familiar with boat shoes. You’re probably familiar with Sperry’s take on the shoe, but for those who aren’t, boat shoes are two-hole, leather shoes that are breathable and waterproof — and made with a rubberized sole that provides critical traction for slick surfaces like a boat deck. Inherently functional, boat shoes have found a second life a casual office shoe, a go-to choice for collegiate prepsters, and even get referenced by Jay Z himself.
The boat shoes of 2020 aren’t quite as boxy as they were in the past and are now more reflective of the sleek sailboats you’d typically wear them on. The key to pulling them off is to know that they shade a little more towards the casual side of the spectrum. That means you can wear them with jeans or khakis with ease. Regardless of how you style them, we’ve rounded up nine of our favorites that can take you from the shore to the water and back again.
