The world has stereotyped men and women for countless centuries, and you would think that in the 21st century that would be a thing of the past. Nothing could be further from the truth though. Think about it for a minute. Women are associated with flowers, chocolates and perfumes.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fishing rods and the car parts and sundry other unrecognizable items found in the vicinity of men. That does not mean a man cannot be given a...

I am a very keen observer. I notice a lot of minute details especially if these details tend to stand out. I was attending a formal event recently and noticed one man who was exquisitely elegant. What got my attention was the pair of sparkling cufflinks set at the cuffs of his French shirt. They were very simple pieces yet they ooze sophistication class.

They date back to the middle ages thus, giving me the sense that cufflinks are obsolete as they are very old accessories yet very classy. I've always wondered whether men still wear gold cufflinks or any other type...
