Introduction: Emergency Cufflinks.
This is what happened to me the other day. I had my sleeves rolled up. After reaching office I realized it was one of those shirts with cufflink holes and of course I left the cufflinks at home!
Step 1: Step 1 - Get a Clip
Easy fix, all you need is a U-clip! (or a 'paper clip' depending on where you live)
Step 2: Step 2 - Prepare
Fold the sleeve just as you would if you were to wear an actual cufflink.
Step 3: Step 3 - Through One Side
Insert the clip through one side of the sleeve.
Step 4: Final - Through Other Side
Bring both ends close and secure the other side the same way.
Done! Go ahead and show it off!

The square style paperclips look surprisingly good - I think it would be easy to look at these and think they were a minimal cufflink, not office supplies. I'll remember this in case I ever forget mine.

Yeah, that paperclip looks like a statement piece in a way a usual rounded one wouldn't.

So you basically can use an ordinary paperclip aswell. I would bend in the tips so it would have some type of resistance.

I had to use these this week away on business..... Worked brilliantly and agree that they look like a minimal cuff link

Hey thanks! This is an emergency fix. So if you're planning to gift it, then maybe you could decorate it or, personalize it. Better than gifting plain paper clips :D
