Cufflinks are a mainstay when it comes to formal attire but can be a bit too much for casual events, which is where the Klinks cuff connector comes in to help offer a more laid-back alternative. The [jewelry-like accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-hook-options) work by being attached onto existing button-up shirts that have buttons on the cuffs instead of featuring French cuffs that require cufflinks. The [hook-and-eye design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waveclips) of the accessory will work to keep sleeves rolled up slightly for a casual look that could also help to put the focus on a [timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watchlock-clasp).

The Klinks cuff connector comes in several finish options to suit varying style needs or preferences and also come in two length options for different looks.
