We dive into the optimal place to wear a tie clip. It's more complicated than you may think...

In our men's accessories line, we carry wood tie clips, and all too often at we have customers who ask where to wear a tie clip... so we though we would take a look to see about the "rules" of where to place your newly bough tie clip.

Let's Start with Tie Clip Basics:

A tie clip, also called a tie bar, tie slide or tie clasp, is the accessory for men used to grasp the tie in front of the man’s dress shirt while keeping it from "wagging". This is a classic and simple piece which adds to a man’s professional image through making his clothes more polished and cleaner. 

Unfortunately, not all men are aware of the right way to use this accessory. A tie clip is one of the best handmade gifts for men and most people are interested, but they just can't figure out how they should put it on. Please read on to learn where to wear a tie clip:

Wear the Tie Clip Parallel to Your Shirt’s 4^th Button

It’s the most secured look for the contemporary times. Some young men wear their clips higher, particularly in the same level with the 3^rd button of their shirt while the previous styles showed that a tie clip is worn by men in level with their shirt’s 5ht button. After all of these, the choice will still depend on you so you should not go higher than the third button or lower than the fifth when you like to show that you are aware of what you are doing.

Select the Tie Clip that is Not More Than ¾ of the Breadth of Your Tie

To have a longer tie clip will make you appear old-fashioned and the shorter ones is the more contemporary and trendy look (unless that's what you're going for!). Get your tie clip and hold it against your neck tie wherein it falls on the third or fourth button of your shirt. When it appears too long then you will have to use another clip or you might be in need of another tie.
