The history of tie clips
The tie as we know it today became popular around 1850. As early as the Victorian period in England, there were metal tie pins. Back then, to keep the tie from flapping in the wind and ensure the strap hung straight, it produced a neat, uniform look. But this will puncture the tie, leaving a hole. In the early 20th century, the birth of the spring-loaded tie clip solved this problem. Later, they evolved into simpler sliding versions of tie clips.
About 20 years later, men started using lavaliers to fasten their ties to their shirts. Originally it was just to keep the tie as snug as possible. So as not to bend over or drop the tie on the floor or into the soup while eating. Eventually, in the 1920s, it became more popular because of its push-on method of fitting without damaging the delicate tie.
Over time, tie clips will have patterns or textures in the details. This can express one’s own aesthetic preference and play the role of decorative modeling. At the same time, tie clips also help people get to know each other about related groups or organizations.
The use of the custom tie clips
Modern tie clips are more of an ornament. And men should use custom tie clips with suits. Especially when it is a wedding, it can keep the tie straight. The overall shape will also look better. In other words, it is not necessary to use a tie clip when wearing a long-sleeved shirt alone. And don’t use tie clips with a jacket.
Tie clip position
Tie clips have their specific position when worn. Counting from the top, pin it between the third and fourth buttons of the shirt. Here is also a spot where the tie could be held in place better. And here is an optimal balance point.
In general, after buttoning up the suit, it is better to expose the tie clip slightly from the outside. Because according to the regulations of grooming etiquette, the main purpose of this accessory is to fix the tie. It’s okay if it’s a little exposed. Pin it too far up, even up to your shirt collar button, and it’s overstated.
For tradition, we fasten the tie clip between the 4th and 5th buttons of the shirt. In this way, even when putting on the suit, the tie clip will not be exposed at all. And when the coat is opened, there will be some small surprises.
Is the tie clip on the left or the right?
Men should clip the right side because men’s shirts are pressed from the left to the right. If you want the tie clip and shirt clip together, you need to use the right-hand clip. Women’s shirts are pressed from the right to the left, so you need to use your left hand to clamp.
The length of the tie clip
When choosing tie clips, you will find that there are different styles of long and short. This is to match the design of different-width ties.
Usually, the length of your tie clip should never exceed the width of the tie where it is clipped. The standard length is 3/4 the length of your tie.
Appropriate width
In fact, what kind of tie clip we choose depends largely on what kind of tie is matched. Finally, choose the appropriate tie clip according to the width of the tie. Then, the width of a tie clip should never exceed the width of the tie. Too long will appear procrastinating and redundant. But if the tie clip is too short, it will dwarf the effect.
So, it is most appropriate for the width of the tie clip to occupy about 1/2-3/4 of the belt width. Too short or too long is not a good choice. Be sure to check your tie width before buying. Then, choose a tie bar of the appropriate width.
Usually, the width of the tie is between 5.5-8.5cm. Therefore, the width of the tie clip can be 2.75-4.25cm. Before buying a tie clip, first, determine the width of the tie. Of course, there are still many personalized fashion choices.
Custom tie clips’ material and color
Tie clips are mostly made of metal materials. More refined materials include materials. Such as wood, fabric, gemstones, pearls, enamel, plastic, resin, and glass.
Most of the colors of tie clips are metallic and stainless steel. The lustrous silver color is perfect for any tie. Gold ties are best paired with dark or solid-colored ties. Gold and light-printed ties can also match.
Of course, there are many advanced colors for tie clips: matte gray, colored enamel, etc. But such a color is more of a test of matching skills.
It is recommended that junior players start to choose and match from gold and silver. Because this is currently the least error-prone and the most classic color system. Elegant metallics are safer colors. It’s always good to match the metallic sheen with your shirt buttons.
If the tie you are wearing is a very colorful tie, it is best to keep the style and color of the tie clip as simple as possible. That way it doesn’t look like there’s an excessive repetition of colors and patterns. This maintains a balanced effect.
When your outfit leans toward the light and fresh colors, pair it with a solid or striped tie. Of course, you can also choose some solid color tie clips. Then, emphasize the contrast of prominent colors to deepen the impression.
4 types for custom tie clips
Spring tie clips
Use a leaf spring to open and close the tie clip. This type is also currently the most commonly used. And it’s easy and effortless to operate.
The metal spring tie clip can engrave brand logo or letters and other information. So, many shirt or suit brands like to customize a unique spring tie clip.
Head tie pins
Head tie pins have spikes. There are fixing pins on the back. And there is a chain at the end to fix the tie. The end of the tie pin is the pattern and should be outside the tie. The other end is a thin chain.
We should hide it behind the tie so that it is not exposed. When in use, we should pin it to the center of the tie at the third button from the top of the shirt.
Head tie pins are good for ties made of rougher materials. Such as wool or cashmere. Because they are less likely to leave noticeable pinholes.
The role of the tie pin is to fasten the tie on the shirt. And it plays a certain role in decoration and styling. The tie can be worn with a slight arch upwards to let the tie look more plump and beautiful.
Tie chains
The tie chains consist of two parts: a button ring and a fixed chain. There will be no large head tie needles piercing the tie to protect the tie. In this way, the styling is simpler.
A tie chain connects the button loop to the third button of the shirt. Let the tie cover the button loop. Then, place the tie in the tie link to secure the tie.
Sliding tie bars
Sliding tie clips do not have leaf springs. We can only change where the tie clip is placed by sliding it.
They are mostly made of metal folded into a U-bend shape, with two ends pressed together. This is a bit like a hairpin for women.
How to wear slip and spring tie clips:
Clip the placket of the shirt in turn. Then straighten the tie and go in obliquely and then adjust the length of the tie.
