Cufflinks

September 29, 2006 by wroolie 1 Comment

I sometimes wonder if people look down on me because I don’t wear cufflinks.

I work in the investment banking market. Everyone, I’m not exaggerating, wears cufflinks. This dawned on me about a month ago and I’ve been looking at everyone’s wrists since then. Of course, I’m only talking about men-so I hope they don’t think something is up.

I started asking around about this. One of my colleagues told me, “If you want to work in the City, you gotta wear cufflinks.” I work in the City. I don’t.

I don’t see the purpose of cufflinks. It seems like a superfluous bit of jewellery that men have taken to wearing. I don’t like that. I’m all for looking good. I’m for taking showers, combing hair, ironing shirts, and shining shoes, but I don’t get wearing a bit of metal that replaces buttons as being that cool.
