Hi


My other half has been in desperate need for some new cufflinks and every birthday, anniversary etx he's been asking for them but I've never been able to find any decent ones. Can anyone recommend where to buy decent cufflinks up to ?80-100?


I think I've always avoided buying them because I have no idea on what constitutes as 'nice' cufflinks (im the same with ties!). He works with lots of clients and consults a lot - would something like plane or car shaped cufflinks be too novelty / tacky looking? Been looking at Paul Smith - are these OTT?

I understand it's personal preference but any constructive advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Agent Sunlover,


Paul Smith or Ted Baker are fine for that price range.


Plain and or Silver are safe as Stevo mentioned, but you can venture away from this as long as the branding is absent or very subtle i.e. avoid a Moschino look.


Your instincts on vehicle shaped are on point.

Am I the only one who loves this Henry guy?


All above is great advice...Avoid novelty...blingy....and branded unless really subtle also good advice. Also avoid too large/chunky and ones with a chain connector which are too fiddley for every day use.


Plain silver is good as it's classic...I also have some great silver squares with a simple amber stone from Portobello market which are great and were approx 40 quid.

Planes/cars can be nice but rare and I wouldn't advise you buy for someone.


Go for something plain, preferably silver and rectangular - there's a shop on Northcross Road - Rigby Mac? - that sells some nice plain ones.


Lastly you shouldn't have to pay more than ?50 unless you're buying gold

Had to be careful how you displayed the Pepe Jeans key ring as well...

Standard 70s/80s although in the 70s you got called a 'poof' fairly widely if you had an earinng full stop. Hardly any blokes had both pierced, except trannies (am I allowed that word? I don't fookin know). Silver or gold Hoop/Hoop & cross or stud were the choices.


At 30ish mine went. Unless you're Kieth Richard, it's a bit sad beyond 30 :(

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
