Black tie events are all about sophistication, tradition, and precision. Every detail—from your tuxedo to your accessories—must be thoughtfully curated. One element that often receives less attention but can transform your ensemble is the cufflink. Gold cufflinks, when styled properly with black tie attire, can elevate your entire look, making you stand out with subtle luxury.
Let’s explore how to master the art of wearing gold cufflinks with your tuxedo and how the Wimbledon Cufflink Company can help you make the best choice.
Why Choose Gold Cufflinks for Black Tie Events?
Gold exudes opulence. It adds a warm, regal touch that contrasts beautifully against the classic monochrome palette of a black tie outfit. While silver and black cufflinks are common, gold cufflinks bring a refined individuality and elegance that few other accessories can.
Key Rules for Styling Gold Cufflinks with Black Tie Attire
1. Pair with a White Dress Shirt
The stark white of a traditional dress shirt provides the perfect backdrop to make gold cufflinks shine. French cuffs are essential here, as they’re designed specifically for cufflinks and double back for that classic formal look.
2. Match with Your Other Accessories
Coordination is key:
-
Wear a gold watch, or at least a watch with gold accents.
-
Ensure your shirt studs, tie clip, or lapel pin—if used—complement the gold tone.
-
If you're wearing a cummerbund or waistcoat with gold details, match the hues for harmony.
The Wimbledon Cufflink Company offers beautifully designed gold cufflinks that match well with all classic black tie accessories.
3. Keep It Understated Yet Elegant
The goal of black tie is timeless elegance—not flamboyance. Choose cufflinks that reflect that tone:
-
Plain gold bars or ovals are traditional and always in style.
-
Minimalist engravings or monograms add a personal touch without being loud.
-
Black onyx inlays in gold settings are a sophisticated pairing with a tuxedo.
