SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
Cufflinks cannot be worn with just any old style of button up. Specific shirts like french cuff dress shirts are manufactured especially for the usage of links.
To hook a cuff with your link, you must close the swivel bar, so that it forms a straight line pointing from the head of the link, at this point you can insert the straight bar at the end of the cufflink directly through the outer hole (the one you will see when your palms are facing the floor.)
Be certain that you push the bar through each aligned sleeve hole, the shirt cuff-holes should all align naturally and straight. After you've done that, now open the swivel bar so that it forms a "T" to secure the cuff in it's place, as shown in the three bottom pictures on the right hand side. That's it, now you know how to wear cufflinks!
