How to Wear Drink Cufflinks (By Dress Code)
- Black tie: Choose compact, mostly-metal designs (martini outlines, polished flutes) or monochrome inlays for formal elegance.
- Business formal: Stick to silver or rhodium coffee cups or slim wine-glass icons; keep bold colour in the tie or pocket square.
- Smart casual: Beer mugs or cocktail enamel designs pair well with blazers and open collars — ensure French (double) cuffs.
Wedding Day: A Toast, But Tasteful
Drink motifs can be ceremony-ready when scale and cohesion are considered:
- Groom vs party: Groom in gold-tone champagne flutes or engraved whisky tumblers; Best Man and Groomsmen in matching silver wine-glass or beer icons.
- Metal consistency: Keep everyone in one metal tone for cohesive group photos.
- Colour echo: Use a slim enamel accent to pick up the palette (burgundy, navy, forest) without overpowering the look.

FAQs
Are drink cufflinks appropriate for very formal events?

Can I include bright colours?
Use narrow framed enamel and keep ties/pocket squares neutral so the cufflinks remain the subtle accent.

A small polished champagne flute or martini outline — refined, readable and easy to pair with navy or black tailoring.
