You gotta buy a shirt with French cuffs (thats what the edge of the sleeves are called - see the picture below). I used to wear them all the time (I love that look). To me, its the little things (like a nice pair of cufflinks) that top off the perfect attire. You don't have to spend a bundle to get a decent shirt. You can find some good ones for about $35. If you're just starting out building up a wardrobe I suggest you get a white shirt (it'll go with a variety of styles) first. French cuffs:

yea cufflinks are essential to a classy suit. but partagas is right make sure they match your belt, tie clip, watch and other things you might wear.

I am with SC on this one -- I love cufflinks also. They can really finish off a nice suit. Just a couple of things to keep in mind:
Make sure your cufflinks match your belt buckle (ie silver cufflinks - silver belt buckle, etc.... -- kind of like black shoes - black belt.
I always try to coordinate my cufflinks to my entire attire (that was pretty cool using those two words together!) ie... I wear a gold set of cufflinks with my gold watch band, and gold ring. Likewsie, I wear a silver based set when I wear the silver accessories.
If you are on a budget -- get a watch band with a gold and silver finish and it will work with either color.
Sometimes you can get some buttons for your shirt to match the cufflinks.
Enjoy Gee Part, you be stylin'!!!!  I remember cufflinks always being a popular and/or appropriate gift for any guy. As a teenager, I'm sure I gave them as gifts to my father. With things being more casual these days, it's nice to hear of men getting "decked out" (by today's standards) and actually coordinating their attire. Now, are your shoes rubber souled or not??? TIS
