How to wear a tie clip master-class in three steps:
- Put on the dress shirt and the tie you are planning to wear. The tie should be straightened and pulled up to the top of the collar on the shirt. As the tie clip is the last accessory a gentleman should put on, the shirt and tie must already be "finished" because one the tie clip is inserted, you do not want to adjust the tie because the clip will make it very difficult to do so. As a note, a tie clip is meant to be worn as a formal accessory and can be worn with regular and skinny neckties, but are not meant for bolo ties.
- Through a ridged back and a small hinge, the tie clip should be pinched open and slid over the tie so that the bar-front of the tie clip is over the front of the necktie. The rigged portion slips behind the placket of the dress shirt, and rests under the dress shirt itself. Releasing the pinch will secure the tie clip on the shirt and tie.
- Understand that the tie clip is traditionally placed between the fourth and fifth button of the shirt placket, midway between the pectoral and ab muscles. A younger, more rakish style is to tilt the tie clip at a 45-degree downward facing angle between the third and fourth button on the shirt.
Opinions from StyleForum:
"I always angle mine downward, and it's intentional. I don't like the way a perfectly horizontal bar bisects the tie."
"I like the calculated casual touch of having it at a slight angle. Horizontal looks to stiff."
"I always wear mine at an angle, something about it being horizontal bothers me. Actually, I have a minor bone to pick on where to wear it. I wear because 1.) I like it as a decoration. 2.) I like a little bit of distance between tie and chest, and by clipping the tie, you can put a bit of an arc into it. 3.) I like to stop my tie from flapping around like a fish out of water, so I clip it just above the buttoning point. I've noticed a lot of people wear their tie clips really high up which is nice, but doesn't satisfy 3. Doesn't it bother anyone that their tie is constantly trying to get away from them?"
"Now an angled tie bar would bug me a lot. HOWEVER, I might just leave it slightly angled, just like I might leave a sleeve button unbuttoned, just to draw attention to those who can catch it (aka girls)."
"I always wear a tie clip when I'm wearing a tie, mainly because I HATE having my tie flop around all over the place on me. I nearly certian that I'm the only person in the country under 50 that wears one though."
