Custom Tie Clip: Choosing the Right One

When it comes to custom tie clips, many people are unsure of what they are or how to properly wear them. Many modern men do not understand the significance of this classic accessory. However, if you want to add a traditional and dapper touch to your wardrobe, this simple accessory is one that you should invest in as soon as possible!

 

As a guide to help you achieve the traditional tie bar look with our personalised tie bars or engraved tie bars, we'll go over what a tie clip is, the things to consider when choosing one, choosing the right colour to match your outfit, and lastly, the different styles of a tie clip.

 

What is a Custom Tie Clip?

A custom tie clip, or a personalised tie bar, is a small piece of metal that is intended to be worn with a suit tie. Its purpose is to keep your tie in place by securing it to the placket of your shirt, which is what it does. Custom tie clips, on the other hand, are increasingly being used for purely aesthetic reasons, such as to add a fashionable accent to an outfit. In order to accommodate this, a variety of options and designs are readily available.

 

Things to Consider When Choosing a Custom Tie Clip

When selecting a tie clip, there are a few considerations to keep in mind to avoid making a fashion faux pas. Never select a tie bar that is wider than the width of the tie. It should always be narrower and less bulky to be more effective.

 

  • Tie pins can be found in antique stores, but many menswear stores also carry new tie pins.
  • Consider the occasion - a more formal, understated style is appropriate for work or a job interview, whereas a more playful style is appropriate for a more casual setting.
  • Consider the colours you'll be wearing with your tie clip when making your decision. Generally speaking, a silver tie clip is the most versatile and can be worn with any outfit of any colour.
  • Take into consideration the width of your tie. As previously stated in point 1, your tie clip should never be wider than your tie; therefore, if you prefer skinny ties, choose a tie clip that is similarly slim in shape.

 

Choosing the Right Color of Custom Tie Clip to Match Your Outfit

So, now that you've mastered the art of the tie clip, how do you make certain that you're wearing the correct colour tie clip to match your outfit? It's not as difficult as you might think, and this handy table will guide you through the process of selecting the appropriate colours:

 

Tie clip in silver

 

A silver tie clip is understated and versatile, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear. Despite the fact that it goes with most colours, it looks particularly good when combined with cool colours such as blue or green.

 

Tie clip in gold

 

When attending more formal events or special occasions, a gold tie clip is the best option to go with. When you pair your gold tie clip with a bright red or burgundy tie, you'll achieve a regal appearance. Alternatively, gold can look fantastic with a light grey suit and brown shoes.

 

Tie clip in rose gold

 

Rose gold is the ideal combination of cool and warm tones, and it is a more contemporary choice than gold or silver. This is a versatile colour that pops against darker ties in black, grey, or burgundy, among other hues.

 

Tie clip in black

 

This is the most contemporary of all tie clips, and it provides a sleek and bold appearance. Black is a timeless colour that works well with a variety of outfits. If you don't care for shiny tie clips, black tie bars are often available in a brushed finish. A great way to tone down bright or patterned ties, or to create a classic is look by pairing black pants with dark brown shoes, a black tie, and a white shirt.

 

Tie Clips: Different Styles and How to Wear Them

Think again if you thought there was only one style of tie clip! Let's take a closer look at each style and learn how to wear a tie bar.

 

Non-hinged tie clips

 

The most common style is non-hinged tie clips, often known as side clasps. They slide on and off like a money clip. This style of tie clip requires a thick tie since the tie's material holds the clip in place. They may not be suitable for a skinny tie or something delicate like silk.

 

Hinged tie clips

 

Like a clothes peg, hinged tie clips are two metal bars with a spring at one end. Simply open the clip and place it onto your shirt. These are the best tie clips to use if you want them to stay in place. They're also great for squeezing thinner textiles or knots. Because the top bar and bottom bar can be different materials, hinged tie clips come in a variety of forms.

 

Tie Tacks

 

We saved the tie tacks for last. They're now considered outdated and the most formal of the three. A tie tack is a little round button with a pin piercing the tie fabric and a short-chain and T-bar attached. The T-bar secures your tie in your buttonhole. For a coarse fabric like tweed or wool, a tie tack is ideal, but not for more delicate textiles.
