That\u2019s something your dad, uncle or grandpa wears, right? But did you ever stop to wonder if tie clips could actually be&#8230;well&#8230;cool? They can! Tie clips are making a comeback and there\u2019s no better place to find out how to wear a tie clip and look stylish than right here. We\u2019re going to share some great ideas for how to wear a tie bar and ensure you look great, whatever style you\u2019re rocking. Keep reading and you\u2019re sure to find some style inspiration for that tie pin that\u2019s been gathering dust in your closet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_tie_clip_and_whats_its_purpose\"><\/span><strong>What is a tie clip and what\u2019s its purpose?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably seen them gathering dust in your dad\u2019s drawer or in antique stores in town &#8211; those little brass, gold or silver clips that don\u2019t seem to have a purpose.&nbsp;<strong>While it\u2019s true that tie clips weren\u2019t fashionable for a while, it\u2019s true that \u2018what\u2019s old is new\u2019 &#8211; they\u2019re about to come back into fashion<\/strong>. Most men aren\u2019t sure what they are, what they\u2019re for, or how to wear them, but all that\u2019s about to change!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of a tie clip is to hold your tie in place, not to hold the two pieces of the tie together. It\u2019s all about choosing the right style, size, and color of tie clip and ensuring you\u2019re wearing it the right way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_a_tie_clip_-_5_things_to_consider\"><\/span><strong>Choosing a tie clip &#8211; 5 things to consider<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing a tie clip there are a few things it\u2019s worth bearing in mind so that you don\u2019t make a fashion faux-pas.<strong>Never choose a tie bar that is wider than your tie. It should always be narrower and less bulky.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>You can pick up vintage tie pins from antique stores or on eBay, but many menswear stores sell new tie pins too.<\/li><li>Think about the occasion &#8211; a more formal, understated style is best for work or a job interview, while for a casual setting you can have more fun with a playful style.<\/li><li>Think about the colors you\u2019ll be wearing with your tie clip (more on this later). Generally speaking, a silver tie clip is the most versatile and will go with any outfit.<\/li><li>Think about the width of your tie. As we mentioned in point 1, your tie clip should never be wider than your tie, so if you\u2019re a fan of skinny ties, choose a skinny tie clip to match.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear these 5 things in mind when shopping for your next tie clip and you can\u2019t go wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_wear_a_tie_clip\"><\/span><strong>How to wear a tie clip<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If there\u2019s one thing that\u2019s really important when it comes to how to wear a tie clip, it\u2019s placement<\/strong>. Wear your tie clip too low or too high and you spoil the look you\u2019re trying to achieve completely. The ideal placement of a tie clip is between the 3rd and 4th button of your shirt, around the middle of your sternum. Because the tie clip is designed to keep your tie in place, you should slide it into the opening between your shirt buttons (or placket) to ensure it holds firm throughout the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Three_different_styles_of_tie_clip_and_how_to_wear_them\"><\/span><strong>Three different styles of tie clip and how to wear them<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you thought there was only one type of tie clip out there; think again!&nbsp;<strong>There are actually three popular styles, and we\u2019re about to introduce you to all of them<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Non-hinged<\/li><li>Hinged<\/li><li>Tie tack<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at each style in more detail, and a few tips on how to wear a tie bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Non-hinged tie clips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-hinged tie clips tend to be the most popular style and they\u2019re sometimes also known as side clasps. They operate a bit like a money clip and are easy to slide on and off. If you\u2019re choosing this type of tie clip, you\u2019ll need to wear a fairly thick tie as the material of the tie is what holds the clip in place. They may not be the best choice for a skinny tie or anything made of delicate material such as silk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Hinged tie clips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of hinged tie clips a bit like a clothes peg &#8211; they\u2019re two bars of metal with a spring at one end. You squeeze one end to open the clip and slide it onto your shirt &#8211; simple! These are the best type of tie clips to choose if you\u2019re worried about your tie clip staying in place. They\u2019re also ideal for thinner materials or skinny ties, as they apply more pressure to stay on. You\u2019ll often find hinged tie clips available in a wide range of styles as the top bar can be made of a different material to the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Tie tacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a reason we\u2019ve left tie tacks til last. These days they\u2019re considered fairly old-fashioned and are the most formal of the three styles. A tie tack is small and round, a bit like a button, and uses a pin to pierce the tie fabric, with a short chain and T-bar attached. The T-bar fits into your button hole to keep your tie in place. If you\u2019re wearing a coarse tie like tweed or wool, a tie tack is great as it won\u2019t leave a mark in the material, but they may not be the best choice for more delicate fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_right_color_tie_clip_for_your_outfit\"><\/span><strong>Choosing the right color tie clip for your outfit&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So now you\u2019ve got the style of tie clip down to a tee, how do you ensure you\u2019re rocking the right color tie clip? It\u2019s actually not as difficult as you might think and this handy table will help you pair the right colors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Color tie clip<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Benefits and colors to wear with<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Silver tie clip<\/td><td>A silver tie clip is understated and versatile, great for daily wear.

Black is incredibly versatile and ideal if you\u2019re not a fan of shiny tie clips as black tie bars often come in a brushed finish.

In recent years, rose gold and black tie clips have seen a surge in popularity thanks to their more modern style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_wear_a_tie_bar_and_get_the_width_and_pattern_right\"><\/span><strong>How to wear a tie bar and get the width and pattern right<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The final things you\u2019ll need to consider when shopping for a tie clip are the width and patterns<\/strong>. You\u2019ve got the color and style down, but choose the wrong width or pattern and it could all be over! This table will help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Width of tie<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Width of tie clip or pattern<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Skinny tie<\/td><td>Skinny tie clip<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thick tie<\/td><td>Thicker tie clip<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Patterned tie<\/td><td>Plain tie clip<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Plain tie<\/td><td>Plain or patterned tie clip<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The skinny tie and skinny tie clip combo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re the type of guy who loves to rock a skinny tie &#8211; a little bit indie, perhaps a bit alternative &#8211; then the skinny tie clip is for you! Skinny ties tend to be popular with the young, hip crowd, so if that\u2019s you, and you want to go for something a little less traditional, pair a skinny tie clip with your skinny tie. Black or brushed silver are both good options here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The thick tie and thicker tie clip combo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some who say a thicker tie is a more masculine look, and who are we to argue? If you want to make a statement with your tie, choose a thicker style and fabric such as tweed or wool and opt for a chunkier tie clip. As an added bonus, thicker styles will hold the tie clip in place more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The patterned tie and plain tie clip combo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wearing a patterned tie, whether it\u2019s a Harry Potter-style diagonally striped tie or any other pattern, it should be the focal point of your outfit. This means everything else, including your tie pin, should be kept pretty simple. Opt for a plain silver tie clip for everyday wear or gold for more formal occasions &#8211; and keep the shape a simple rectangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The plain tie and patterned or plain tie clip combo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rocking a plain, dark-colored tie? Then you can &#8211; if you like &#8211; have some real fun choosing a tie clip. If you\u2019re going for a job interview or attending a formal event, keep it classic with a plain tie clip. For anything else, use your imagination! You\u2019ll find loads of different shapes and styles of tie clips whether modern or traditional is your thing, and you can make your tie bar the centre of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_wear_a_tie_clip_to_a_wedding\"><\/span><strong>How to wear a tie clip to a wedding<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on wearing a tie clip to a wedding, there are some things you\u2019ll need to think about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Are you more of a modern or traditional guy?<\/li><li>Who\u2019s getting married &#8211; could you get away with a fun tie clip or should you keep it understated and classy?<\/li><li>What color suit will you be wearing?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For most weddings, we\u2019d recommend keeping your tie clip classy and simple &#8211; so a solid silver or gold rectangular clip<\/strong>. If you\u2019re wearing a colorful suit you could add a small jeweled tie clip or one with a monogram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to think about the location of the wedding too.

Your office might be a place where everyone wears a suit without fail, every day, or it may be more casual, where you\u2019re wearing jeans with a shirt, tie and suspenders (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.soxy.com\/blogs\/what-to-wear\/how-to-wear-suspenders\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">how to wear suspenders<\/a>&nbsp;is a whole different question!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make a fun style statement with your tie bar if you work in a less formal setting &#8211; we love some of the tie clips out there styled like weapons.
