Style Tips for Wearing a Tie Clip

Looking dapper does not mean going broke investing in high-end fashion brands. You can transform your look with small items like a tie clip. Though stores are going all out in their marketing campaigns and celebrities are making clips look good, few people are nailing the right look when using clips. This is because they are not as conversant with some of the rules of wearing tie clips. Here are some expert tips to help you wear your clip right.

Be careful with a tie clip’s placement

You would not want to come across as an old-fashioned dodgy salesman when wearing a tie clip. To avoid this, get the placement of the clip right. Modern tie clips are meant to sit between your dress shirt’s fourth and third button. When you button up your suit’s jacket, ensure the clip remains visible to have the right effect on your look.

Choose the right clip

Though there are many clips on the market, this does not mean they are all good additions to your wardrobe. Opt for a tie clip that is narrower than your tie. If you prefer skinny ties, you can settle for tie clips that are the same widths as the ties.

Know when you have worn the clip right

Tie clips are meant to hold a tie in place. You will know that you are wearing your clip right when your tie does not flap. This is possible when you use the clip to hold a tie onto your shirt dress rather than simply pin the clip to make a ‘’fashion statement’’.

With the above tips, you are sure to look good with a tie clip added to your dress shirt or suit. Avoid the temptation to pair your clip with a vest. Though some people think its trendy, there is no need for it.
