Purple People Eater

To con­grat­u­late me on my new job, my par­ents got me two new dress shirts. Unfor­tu­nately, they are pur­ple, which I’m not the biggest fan of. I’m actu­ally curi­ous about why they picked that color for me, because my mom knows and has teased me about my lim­ited wardrobe palette.

But on the plus side, they are French cuff shirts. I usu­ally hate jew­elry, but there’s some­thing about cuff-​links that just seems really cool to me. I’ve just never had occa­sion to wear any before, mostly because I’ve never had a French cuff shirt until now.

My first instinct is to get some­thing awe­some like this, or maybe this, which I’ve actu­ally had my eye on for a long time. (Can’t find the post any­more, but it was in one of my old sites.) On sec­ond thought, though, I think I would be bet­ter served get­ting some­thing a lit­tle more sub­tle. And cheaper, too.

Any­one have rec­om­men­da­tions of where/​what to look for?

  1. oh man, tell me about it! a clean, well ironed cuff shirt always makes one look so sophis­ti­cated! as for cuff links, i usu­ally can never jus­tify spend­ing so much money on jew­elry or acces­sories that cost more than the gar­ment. in this case, i’m against buy­ing cuff links that cost more than the shirt i’m going to wear it with!

    i picked up some clean, sim­ple ster­ling sil­ver ones at JCPen­ney for an event last year. as always when pick­ing out an acces­sory, make sure it applies to at least one very sharp look­ing out­fit as well as uni­ver­sal enough to be applied to oth­ers. good luck on your search! i sup­pose you’re gonna have to post a pic with you wear­ing your shirt of studliness.

  2. Gotta love the french cuffs. ebay has cheap cuf­flinks if you just want to get some sim­ple ones.

  3. Thanks for the sug­ges­tions, guys!
