Do guys wear cufflinks anymore? Other than on the prom night, on their wedding day, or when they are being brought into “the family†(you know what I mean, Tony Soprano), do a lot of men you know wear them? The ONLY men I’ve known that wear cufflinks with any regularity and big-money investment bankers that I worked for in New York City. The president of that company had his suits handmade and custom-fit by a tailor and traveled 90% of the time for business. And he always wore snazzy cufflinks. That’s the only type of man I really envision wearing cufflinks with any regularity.
Having said that, I suppose at some point it would be a nice gift for the man in your life – one single set of Modern Cufflinks that he could use for any formal occasion. I can see myself giving a set to my husband just before he walks our daughter down the aisle. Or even a nice set for my daughter’s future husband to wear on their wedding day. I can see myself giving them to my son just before his college graduation as a “token†of entering the business world (maybe a nice custom set with his initials on them).
So I suppose guys can still wear cufflinks nowadays. Not just investment bankers.
When I wore a suit and tie to work I wore French cuffs and cuff links all the time. Especially these:

$30.00 may seem a lot, but you get three pair for the price. The least expensive are often the classiest.
And oh yes, keep them in a large brandy snifter on your dresser.
