The cufflink is such a serious accessory. So it’s refreshing to find a humorous take on tradition. Kenneth Cole Reaction’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” cufflinks pose antique black-lettered happyface and sadface icons on brushed silver cufflinks to spice up the usual outfit. Do you have a suit that properly displays your lighthearted side? Pair these links with an edgier suit - houndstooth, glen plaid and chalkstripe will all work well. For an even cleaner match, polish off your old tiebar for a sharp look that says you mean business, but hey, you like to have a good time, too.

The ads (You probably remember them from the ’90s) are classic beyond comparison– like the brand, the definition of cool before it’s cool. The logo, no joke, deserves mention with the greatest designs in fashion history; Gucci, Chanel, YSL, Ralph Lauren and the like included. And, the t-shirts–ill as they come. After 27 years, Stussy is still the freshest, most broad streetwear brand on the planet. Surf, skate, rap, ska, punk, new wave, beach– no brand has captured the essence of these subcultures more precisely. More importantly, Stussy was able to pinpoint the aesthetic and philosophical links between all of them, chain ‘em together and throw ‘em in the blender. In 1980, founder Shawn Stussy, a local board shaper in Long Beach, started putting his logo on t-shirts, and the rest is history. Now, from London to Paris to Tokyo to L.A. to N.Y., Stussy has cache everywhere. It’ s emblematic of why American subculture is still the worldwide arbiter of cool.

If you want to lose your wallet, but look f#cking great doing it, here’s your pocket piece, friend. Addict’s “Swift Camo Wallet” looks and feels brilliant, and is quite possibly the coolest wallet we’ve seen in months. However, don’t walk anywhere near the woods with this one.

Open this anywhere other than the forest and you’ve got yourself one killer conversation piece. Rock this one proud, GearCravers, just throw an RFID on the puppy so it doesn’t go lost when you’re hunting bigfoot…

When the weather gets warm, your feet get uncomfortable. Whether you’re stuck in the office or you’re out on the town, the last thing you want is some muggy feet. But the sockless route is a difficult one, paved with blisters and further discomfort. Can’t a guy get a break? The folks at Banana Republic have heard your cries, and now they present the Loafer Sock: a sleek, extremely low-cut version of the dress sock that lets your feet breathe while not going completely sockless. It’s the best of both worlds. They are made of a cotton/nylon/spandex blend (which means they’re comfy and they’ll last more than a few wash cycles) and come in two-packs in black and white.

Buy: $14.50 (two-pack).

Unless its made of steel, titanium, or a gift from your better half, your ring better have a story behind it.  Fortunately, these metallic Tire Rings speak for themselves.  Motor fiends of any sort will recognize these rings as an instant classic.  If you’re an auto fanatic, a mountain biker or a motorcyclist, these Tire Rings have got your name all over them.  Gems, butterflies and flowers are for the ladies and the birds.  These rings are meant for the man with a motor for a heart…

Bent less on world domination, as the name might suggest, and more on the reinterpretation of fashion accessories, ARMREVOLUTION focuses mainly on re-imagining the standard cufflink. Creating what they call “arm architecture,” ARMREVOLUTION defines their project as a movement, drawing from elements of architectural design to challenge conventional notions of luxury and accessories. It’s an approach that, while perhaps a bit theatrical (peep the website’s high production intro video), has produced some inarguably cool cufflinks.

The flagship line is the Perpetual Series: six designs, each cut from super smooth Japanese steel, each with a unique closure system. The innovation is unmistakeable (all of the designs have patents pending), and the look is pretty killer too. Clean, understated, utilitarian– it’s industrial design for your shirt cuffs. Originally available by appointment only in NY and London, the company launched an e-commerce site back in December. As expected, cufflinks this innovative carry a fairly hefty price tag. These’ll run you between $695 and $750. But, what’s a revolution without a little sacrifice?
