Color Coordinating Silk Knots

Silk knots are a clean stylish alternative to hard cufflinks. They allow you to create a modern minimalist silhouette and are incredibly versatile allowing you to dress up or tone down your look. Have fun with silk knots, play around, but here are some tips to help you on your way.

When you want to de-emphasize the silk knot, make sure you choose silk cufflinks that match the color of your shirt or are a neutral color like black or white. This makes the silk knot cuff link blends into the shirt and draws attention to other elements of your style.

When you want to emphasize the silk knots, make them a contrast color. For example pair a white French cuff shirt with blue silk knots to draw the eye to the silk knot cuff link as a feature. If you are wearing other featured elements like a tie or bow-tie, coordinate with these by matching one of the colors in this element.

To dress up an outfit, or make it more formal, choose colors that are more conservative like black, white and a dark blue. Also choose colors that de-emphasize the cufflink rather than make them stand out. So try and coordinate as much as possible with other parts of you outfit. Very sharp contrasts are also good because they also channel a formal spirit. For example the black cufflinks on a white shirt are the epitome of formality.

For a more casual look, you want to do the opposite. Pick brighter colors and pastels, and try and make the silk knots a focal point rather than hiding them away. Blend colors and tones from other elements of your style. And remember the most important thing is to have fun!
