Editing Cufflink (section)

=== Motif ===
The visible part of a cufflink is often [[monogram]]med or decorated in some way, such as with a [[birthstone]] or something which reflects a [[hobby]] or association. There are numerous styles including novelty, traditional, or contemporary.  Cufflinks can and have been worn with tuxedos [[casual wear]], [[informal attire]] or business suits, all the way to very dressy styles such as [[semi-formal]] ([[black tie]] or [[Stroller (style)|Stroller]]), and [[formal wear]] ([[morning dress]] or [[white tie]]), where they become essentially required and are matched with [[shirt studs]]. Colorful and whimsical cufflink designs are usually only suitable for casual and relatively informal events and signals someone who is fun-loving, approachable, and friendly. However, formal wear has stricter expectations, with [[pearl]] cufflinks being preferred for white tie events<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blacktieguide.com/White_Tie/White_Tie_Other.htm |title=White Tie: Other |work=BlackTieGuide.com |access-date=2015-03-28}}</ref>  Traditionally it was considered important to coordinate the metal of one's cufflinks with other jewelry such as [[watch]] case, [[belt buckle]], [[tie bar]] or [[ring (jewellery)|ring]]s.  [[wikt:sartorial|Sartorial]] experts prescribe gold to be worn during the daytime and silver for evening wear, but neither expectation is considered as critical as it once was.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://askandyaboutclothes.com/clothing/style-tips/coordination-2 |title=A Guide to Mastering Clothing Coordination |work=AskAndyAboutClothes.com |date=2011-12-29 |access-date=2015-03-28}}</ref>
