Dress to Impress – Ultimate Geek Cufflinks

Any true geek knows that dressing to kill is not just about the clothes you wear, but how you accessorise and, if you have a formal event to attend then one of the prime accessories with which you can make a statement is defined by your choice in cufflinks.

There was a time, of course, when cufflinks were reserved for the elite and our grandfathers and we would not even consider buying a shirt unless it in had buttoned cuffs. But times have changed, and there’s a great selection of cufflinks out there.

In this post Thoughts from the Sidelines offers a small selection of some of the more geeky cufflinks available that especially drew our attention, and we think you might like them too.

Microcontroller Cufflinks

Show off your geek status with these rather cool cufflinks created from microchips mounted on nickel-plated steel. Priced at $45 from this site.

Dr Who Cybermen Cufflinks

For the geek who also happens to be a fan of the Dr Who television series these Cybermen cufflinks are a must have. Priced at £14.99 they are available from this site - which also happens to offer a set of K9 cufflinks.

LED Cufflinks

You’re sure to make an entrance with these LED cufflinks crafted from stainless steel. No cheap, at $149.99 a pair from this site - but true style rarely comes on the cheap.

Compass and Thermometer Cufflinks

Never get lost on the way back from a party again with these compass cufflinks available from this site for a very reasonable £14.99. The site also has some rather snazzy, functional thermometer cufflinks for the same price.

ESC and CTRL Cufflinks

These simple yet effective cufflinks inspired from a computer keyboard’s ESC and CTRL keys will communicate your geek status in an understated yet effective fashion. Available for a mere £9.99 for the st from this site.

iPOD Cufflinks

Concrete Cufflinks

These cufflinks by Kon Zuk are both geeky and earthy in being constructed from silver and concrete. Undeniably classy, they retails at $150 from this site.
