I must say, I really don\’t trust people who don\’t read in the bathroom. Our bathroom at home is filled with reading material; from Oprah magazines to a true-crime book (my disgusting guilty pleasure), to my husband\’s history book (his not-so disgusting guilty pleasure) and his GQ magazines. When I have read my magazines one too many times, or when my current true-crime book is finished, my last resort is to skim through his GQ magazines (only because I cannot see myself getting into the Industrial Revolution and how it profoundly impacted the socioeconomic situation in America during the 19th century, no matter how bored I get). It is then that I realize that GQ is my husband\’s fashion bible. From the way he wears his jacket and tie to the casual shoes he sports to the fashionable dress shoes he always eyes at the department store; it is all right there on those cologne laden glossy pages. So, instead of searching aimlessly online or scouring magazines, I just have to pick my husband\’s fashion-oriented brain. My question to him was how to determine what type of cufflinks to wear on different occasions. Look online and you\’ll find plenty of cufflinks options; playful cufflinks, traditional cufflinks and even cufflinks that are made to look like old 45 records. If you can imagine it, it is probably out there in the form of a cufflink. But would it be okay to wear those classic electric guitar cufflinks to, say, a job interview? Is there an etiquette for these things? What\’s appropriate? And when is it appropriate?
