Do you know how to wear a tie clip?



With the following article, we are going to share with you some tips and suggestions, on how to use them properly.


There are four main principles needed to wear a tie clip properly:


1- The position of the clip; you need to be sure that the clip is in between the 3rd and the 4th button of your shirt (starting from the top of it). If the clip is positioned above the said position, it will lose its functionality; on the other hand if it is placed below the 4th button it is not going to be visible;

2- The clip has the function of securing the tie to the shirt. There is no point in attaching the front and the back of the tie to each other;

3- The clip needs to be narrower than your tie. This is important when you are choosing the ideal combination for your final look;

4- To obtain a perfect result is fundamental to match the style of the clip with the colour and style of your outfit. You can also try to match it with other accessories like cufflinks.


Why should you wear a tie clip?


1- Style: it does not matter that is a small accessory, it can enhance your appearance.

2- Convenience: given that its function is to secure the tie position, the tie clip can help you prevent unfortunate events at dinner;

3- Symmetry: it can happen, especially to people with uneven shoulders that the tie hangs slightly askew, a tie clip prevents the distortion and keeps the tie in its right place.

At LA CRAVATE DE BERCY, we have two favourite types of tie clips:

The tie clip that looks like an alligator beak; its two sides are held together by a spring. It can be used by unfolding and then attaching the tie clip as mentioned above.

Tie slide (without the clip): it is a “U” shaped piece of metal that slides over the tie. Keep in mind that due to the lack of spring, the tie slide can exert less pressure if compared to other clips.

We hope you have learned how to wear a tie clip.
