shirt studs

Tuxedo front fasteners

Shirt studs are decorative fasteners used in place of buttons on formal dress shirts, particularly with tuxedos and white tie attire.

They typically come in sets of three or four, passing through buttonholes on both sides of the shirt's front placket.

Studs are usually made of precious metals, mother-of-pearl, onyx, or other fine materials: He fumbled with the shirt studs while dressing for the gala.
