Tie Clip
A tie clip is a useful and elegant accessory which allows you to keep your tie pressed against your shirt.
Tie bars
THE NINES designs its tie bars as essential pieces that help to elegantly complete an outfit. Our collection features designs in rigid metals such as solid silver or brushed brass, polished models or versions with mineral inserts such as onyx, so that they can be coordinated with your cufflinks.
Colour and finish
The choice of colour for your tie bar is paramount. Gold or silver, it will coordinate with your cufflinks, your watch or the buckle of your belt. If coloured, it should be paired with the colour of your tie or create a subtle echo with your pocket square or suit jacket.
Also check that the finish of the tie bar complements the tie. A matte or shiny finish will not have the same effect. The matte finish is more subtle and will tone down a colourful outfit. The shiny finish, more common, will pair with a more classic look.

Matching the outfit
Do not be afraid to use it with all your outfits — the tie bar will integrate seamlessly, as it will keep your tie in place and add a touch of style, with no risk of a fashion faux pas. If you button up your jacket, you can easily move the tie bar up so that it remains visible.
Positioning and dimensions
The tie bar is ideally placed below the third button of the shirt, but can be adjusted between the third and fourth button. Placed too high, it will constrict your tie and it will no longer stay in place. If placed too low, you will end up with a slightly asymmetric area that will make the whole look unstructured.
The golden rule to observe for tie bar size: it must be strictly narrower than the width of your tie. Furthermore, slim tie bars suit slim ties and wider tie bars suit classic ties. Sizes generally range between 2 and 7 cm. Try different sizes and go with the one that suits you best!
