You left off Reason #6: Cufflinks stop you dipping your sleeves in your soup...

There are some awesome cufflinks out there, I think they are classy for guys!

I can resist a man in cufflinks - I dont actually know many guys who use them - even those I know who wear suits to work. Maybe theya re making a comeback cos I always thought they were kind of old fashioned :-)

Reason number two undermines the whole article with the Bill Gates example, Bill Gates is likely to be the guy who "walks through the door in jeans and a ratty shirt", which undermines the stereotype of wealthy businessmen wearing cufflinks. Furthermore, I don't think anyone would take you seriously if they saw you wearing 007 cufflinks, unless you were at a costume party.

Novelty cuff links are even worse than novelty ties. There could be some truth to this article though, I've landed a few jobs and a few women wearing stylish cufflinks, not sure they helped, but who knows. I would hazard a guess that cufflinks aren't popular in offices because they are not highly compatible with typing, and then there is the extra time it takes to get dressed each day.

I think putting on cufflinks to go out can look really good - when you need to be formal. The novelty cufflinks are only any good if you sell souvenirs or novelty ties to the tourists. I guess it you are the mad professor and have cufflinks to match your bow tie you might get away with the "novelty factor". But then you probably also count away the hours by counting coffee spoons and don't care much for web sites as useful as Frank!! I wonder if anyone has cufflinks to match my hat?

Cufflinks are cool and make such a statement. The novelty are great fun and such a good converstaion starter - like all clothing and accessories they do need to be appropriate for the occasion. They are also so much nicer than plain old buttons on the sleeve. Love the Superman cufflinks

i saw some cufflinks once that said life is a bitch then you marry one... Love it!
