How to style cuff links; how to wear a tie bar. Cuff links and tie bars are both stylish and practical finishing touches to a gentleman's attire. While neither requires wearing them a necessity, wear them correctly and you will stand out among the rest. Cuff links can be worn for day or evening attire generally with a French cuff shirt. The cuff link choices are numerous: from button chain links to silk knots to hinged or bar style in a variety of metals, plain, enameled or jeweled. A cuff link can be and should be a statement-making piece; monogrammed it's a personal statement. They have come a long way from the ribbons tied together to hold the shirt sleeve openings closed. According to the National Cuff Link Society, evidence found in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics of King Tut's tomb indicates the use of ribbon cuff links, but as we know them today, cuff links seem to first appear during the 1700s when they were a sign of royalty and the mark of a gentleman. Tie bars were created in the 1920s as a replacement to the tie pin which could damage the newly popular silk ties being worn. Their purpose, like the tie pin, is to keep the necktie from flapping around and should be worn following key guidelines. First, the tie bar should be worn between the third and fourth buttons of a dress shirt. Second, it should not just fasten the front end and back end of the tie together, but fasten both to the placket of the shirt. And third, never wear a tie bar that is wider than your tie.
