A Tie Clip Keeps Your Tie in Place
The purpose of a great tie clip is to keep your tie neatly in place. It’s easy to use, practical, and—when you want—also a very personal choice. A tie clip is also a beautiful detail in dressing. It completes an outfit in a very stylish way. A well-dressed man turns heads. You’ll find beautiful tie clips for every taste and occasion in Kärkkäinen’s extensive online selection.
Using a Tie Clip – Keep Your Tie Neatly in Its Place
A tie clip is designed to keep your tie in place by attaching it to your dress shirt. Thanks to it, your tie won’t dip into the soup bowl at the buffet or fly into your face in a strong wind. In addition, a tie clip looks great. It gives your outfit a polished finish—the dot on the i.
A tie clip is naturally used with a tie. A pocket square and stylish cufflinks also go well with it. If you’re wearing a gold tie clip, choose gold cufflinks to match. Likewise, if you choose a silver tie clip, keep the same line with your other accessories throughout.
Where Is the Right Place for a Tie Clip?
The correct place for a tie clip is around the level of the breast pocket—or between the third and fourth buttons of the shirt. Don’t place the tie clip too high or too low: even if the goal is to make it stay in place better, the result will look tasteless.
The size of the tie clip must not be too large or too small. Tie clips should not exceed three quarters of the tie’s width. It should never be wider than the tie. If you own ties of different widths, always choose the tie clip accordingly.
The Many Different Types of Tie Clips
A tie clip has a spring that attaches it to the tie. However, it can leave marks on more delicate materials, so for those a simple tie bar (tie holder) is a good option. A tie bar doesn’t have a spring mechanism—instead, it’s pressed onto the tie, because the metal of the clip is flexible. It works in the same way as a hairpin.
The purpose of a tie chain is to attach the tie to the shirt with a loose chain. It’s fastened to the shirt’s button placket or to a button behind the tie. The tie chain is placed in the same way as a tie clip. A tie chain is a good choice for a man with personality who wants to emphasize his unique style. In Kärkkäinen’s online store you’ll find tie clips for yourself and as gifts.
