For some reason, this week’s Dandy Droid at BiteTV is under the wrong header and one of the links is not to be found so I’m reproducing it here. Enjoy.
When it comes to a suit, there are only a few areas that allow for self expression: the tie knot, the socks – if one is British— and, of course, the cufflinks. Unfortunately, too many fellows have squandered this small opportunity by wearing poorly tailored shirts or cufflinks covered in diamonds. This is revolting. Bling-Bling, or whatever the children call it, is an ostentatious display of the swinish ideals of the bourgeoisie. It has no place anywhere near the wrist of a gentleman.
Rather than covering oneself with glittering trinkets, one should peruse the selection of cuff links from Cuffwear and find something suited to their personality. For my part, I favor the bullets or fishbone. Although I would not recommend these to lesser souls, as their personalities may pale in contrast to their wrists, thus disappointing the ladies who will inevitably choose to examine both, I’m quite sure that one may find something that does not make them look like a street pimp.
