Did You Know.....
Back in the 1600s mens shirt fronts and sleeves were adorned with lace trims. Later, in an attempt to be more practical, the lace was ditched, and the sleeves were tied with strings and ribbons, which served the purpose of keeping the sleeve dirt-free. It also prevented the chilly air from creeping up the sleeve. In an effort to look a little dressier, some even added jewels to their sleeve ties.
In the 17th century, men decided they had had enough of scraggly strings and ribbons holding up their sleeves. They wanted to look sophisticated and suave, and strings and ribbons were among the first to go. They were replaced by the now ubiquitous cufflink. What did the First Cufflink Look Like? The 17th century cufflink consisted of a small chain that had gold or silver buttons at either end. Special buttonholes were made in the cuffs of the sleeves and each button was fed through one of the holes on the two ends of the cuff. Thus the chain linked the two cuffs together, and was aptly named 'Cufflink'. |
