By colour
Our stylist advises you to match your cufflinks to the main colour of your tie or shirt. We have all the colours of the rainbow, so you'll be able to find something that matches everything in your wardrobe.
Cufflink colours
THE NINES classifies its cufflinks by colour, to allow you to coordinate your accessories with one another. Our extensive catalogue offers a varied colour palette, with basic shades such as navy blue, black or white, and bolder tones such as green, burgundy, orange or yellow.
The visual detail of the sleeve end
The choice of colour for a cufflink is the key element that determines its visibility and its integration within an outfit. Whether it is the sobriety of traditional precious metals or the boldness of more vibrant shades achieved through enamelling or the insertion of semi-precious stones, colour must be chosen with care. It should never overwhelm the eye, but act as a strategic focal point capable of linking the different elements of your silhouette together.
The consistency of echoes and contrasts
Mastering colours at the wrist allows you to navigate between two stylistic approaches: discreet tone-on-tone or bold graphic contrast. The chosen colour generally serves as a connector with the rest of the wardrobe, creating subtle echoes with the tie, suit pocket square, socks or leather accessories. It is the ideal tool for expressing a seasonal sensibility or for adapting the level of formality of a double-cuffed shirt to the context of the day.
Our style tips: how to orchestrate your colours?
Apply the rules of colour to avoid mistakes:
- Strict formality: Opt for monochrome metals (silver, gold) or neutral shades (black, white). These are the only options accepted in rigorous professional environments or black-tie evenings.
- The matching game: When choosing a coloured cufflink (blue, green, red), ensure that this shade is present in subtle touches on another accessory (such as the pattern of your tie).
- Respecting the base: Take into account the colour of your shirt. A yellow or orange cufflink will be enhanced against a white or sky blue background, whereas it risks losing its brilliance on textured or dark fabrics.
