Cufflinks

But it was not until the mid 1800s that cufflinks became a popular item to be worn, often with matching buttons. The dignitary would have 2 different types of wear; suits during the day and dress tails in the evening showing wealth and status with more elaborate cufflinks and studs (buttons).

There are 2 main types of fittings for cufflinks: T-bar & Double chain design.

Which design is easier to wear depends whether you’re dressing yourself or being dressed. T-bars are simpler to put through the cuffs, but perhaps a little stiff when worn, whereas the chain link double cuff can be a little awkward to apply yourself. It requires practice but are generally more comfortable to wear.
