THE TIE CLIP FASHION ACCESSORY

27 July 2015

Perceived as nerdy in the past few years, the tie clip is coming back into fashion. The tie clip is the fashion accessory of the moment, a symbol of elegance that brings sophistication and refinement to your suit.

Like the suit pocket square, it brings an extra touch to your outfit. The tie clip is used to hold the tie against the shirt to prevent it from moving. It comes in several forms, colours and materials, depending on your outfit. It can be a slip-on type or a pincer mechanism. How to wear it ? It is important to note that the tie-clip must always be coordinated with your tie.

Indeed, the tie clip should be narrower than the tie, for a good appearance. There are several tie clip lengths. Narrow clips are preferable when wearing a slim tie and wider clips for standard length ties. Positioning your tie clip properly is the key element of a successful outfit.

Avoid wearing a tie clip that is longer than the width of your tie. For a more modern look, place it between the 3rd and 4th button on your shirt. Finally, it is generally fixed on the right and horizontally. However, for a hipster look, you can put it slightly at an angle. For an even more sophisticated outfit, you can match it to your belt buckle or your cufflinks.

Have no fear, put on a tie clip!
