Cufflinked shirts and jeans
Discussion
Since when did this become 'cool' or the 'in thing'?
Noticed this first a few weeks ago when out near the City and repeated again last night when out in Hoxton (trendy w
ker alert - avoid). As far as I'm concerned, one can't wear jeans with a cufflinked shirt - just doesn't look right and I was under the impression this was against 'the rules'.
Anyone else seen this somewhat dubious fashion phenomenon?

Never, ever, ever should this be done. Regardless of 'the rules' you just look like you can't decide how smart/casual you want to be and have gone with a smart top and casual bottom half.
A pal of mine always does this. One example of a horrific outfit choice of his is as follows........
Top half. Lime double-cuffed shirt and grey waistcoat.
Bottom half. Medium wash jeans, ripped and faded, tucked into Ugg boots.......
Wow.

I would only wear a cufflinked shirt with very dark dressy jeans and yes sometimes a jacket too. It works for me. I don't think it would work so well with bright blue 'Bon Jovi' jeans and trainers, if that's what we're getting at. Everyone wears jeans now so why restrict your top half to T shirts and casual shirts?
I'd rather wear smart jeans and a nice stripy Paul Smith shirt with cufflinks to work than some nasty shiny Asda suit, as some of my work colleagues do, in an effort to look 'smart'. If they walk quickly enough you can almost see the sparks.

Please don't get me wrong- I'm in no way here to cause trouble, what with being new!!, but is it really that offensive to wear them together?
Normally for me, it's indigo jeans from Esprit, and a pair of dark brown loakes (although their quality seems to be slipping of recent)
each to there own, but no mungo jerry in sight, and certainly no r class!!! In in my early thirties!!!
Brogues with moleskins are of course, the only way forward, but can't get away with moleskins in town

He insists he's en vogue though, so who are we to argue.
