Matching Silk Knot Cufflinks

Silk knot cufflinks add an elegant finish to a French Cuffed shirt. Their thoroughly modern design adds the perfect accent to a shirt, but some thought does need to go into your choice of colors. The two most important factors in choosing your colors are the occasion and the other colors in your outfit.

For very formal occasions (think black tie) you want to stick to the basics. Use pure white or pure black silk knot cufflinks on a white french cuffed shirt. These are the classic formal colors and will get you through any formal occasion.

For the office you can expand that range to strong solid primary colors, blue, red and yellow. Think of the classic office fare for ties and you are on the right track. In the more casual workplace, you can venture out in to the shades and pastels.

For casual occasions, you have complete freedom. Have a bit of fun with it and use striped silk knots. Try to coordinate with some other element of your clothes to keep your look balanced.

In terms of color coordination, your can choose to make the silk knot a feature or deemphasized. To make the silk knot cufflinks a feature, pick a bold accent color. We particularly like bright fun colors for summer, and something a little darker with more depth in winter. An accent color against a plain white shirt, looks great and adds a spot of joy to your clothes.

Where you want to deemphasize, try to coordinate the color of the silk knots to some other element of your outfit, for example your shirt color or one of the primary colors in your tie or bow-tie. You can also never go wrong with simple black or simple white cufflinks.
