Would you go against wearing cufflinks to a job interview? Would barrel cuffs be a safer option?

Do a quick search and you will find dozens of debates on this topic. Most people will tell you to skip the links. I say it depends on what industry you are applying to and also what city.

Logical? No.

Still, wear a white, non super spread, barrell cuffed shirt.

Safest bet would be barrel, but as stated above, the position and city make a difference.
