What do you do when you forget your cuff links ?

[pauliodotnet]

I completely left my cuff links on my night stand before heading to the gym

what do you do ? I have an important meeting after lunch, good thing there is a the Galleria right across my office, but for temp I am using paper clips, looks old school.

Pick up some silk knots somewhere.

Keep silk knots in your desk.

^^Funny!

I keep a pair of silk knots in my desk for this very problem. I learned my lesson a long time ago in the same situation (gym in the morning). For today, if you can get out to get a pair of silk knots do so (or take the opportunity to buy a nice new set), otherwise just suck it up. I'd say leave 'em be if you're wearing a suit or fold them back if you're doing business casual.

paper clips are in while I set at hte desk, but they do look fine when suited, but I will stop by and get knots or a new set.. i think neiman marcus has a presale

Why keep silk knots in your office desk? Wouldn't it be easier to just have an extra pair of cufflinks there? As for solving your current problem, I would use paper clips like you are now, and possibly make a joke about how you forgot your cufflinks at home when you enter your meeting (if suitable).

Currently, a full 50% of the cufflinks in my collection were purchased at hotel gift shops after I realized that I accidentally packed a french cuff shirt.

Charlie Rose does not need cuff links. Therefore you also do not need cuff links.

Because any cufflinks that I buy, I'd like to be able to wear relatively frequently, so I need them at home in the morning to get dressed.

MacGyver would use bubble gum and a thread of human hair to secure his cuffs. Otherwise, for us regular humans, some rescue silk knots or the paper clip and extra buttons trick is a good stop-gap measure.

Use a pair of scissors and a stapler to "convert" them to look like barrel cuffs.
