What Every Man Should Know About Tie Clips

Tie clips might be small, but they play a big role in perfecting a man’s outfit. Serving both practical and style purposes, a tie clip keeps your tie in place while adding a subtle touch of sophistication. At Oswin Hyde, although we don’t sell tie clips, we understand how important they are as a finishing accessory to complement our premium ties. Here’s what every man should know about them.

Why Use a Tie Clip?

The main purpose of a tie clip is to fasten your tie to your shirt, preventing it from swinging or moving around. This not only keeps your look neat and polished but also saves your tie from getting dirty or caught.

• Keeps your tie secure during busy days or windy weather.

• Maintains the clean line of your shirt and tie combination.

Using a tie clip is a practical way to protect and showcase your tie, especially our luxurious silk and knitted options.

How to Choose the Right Tie to Pair With a Clip

Since tie clips work best with traditional silk or knitted ties, it’s worth choosing a tie that balances well with this accessory. Wider ties allow for larger clips, while slimmer ties pair better with more delicate clips.

• Our range of silk ties offers classic patterns and colours ideal for pairing with tie clips.

• Knitted and textured ties add depth and can be accented subtly by a clip without overpowering the look.

Remember, the tie you wear sets the tone for your entire outfit.

Wearing a Tie Clip the Right Way

Placement is crucial for a polished appearance. The tie clip should be positioned between the third and fourth buttons of your shirt, fastening both the tie and shirt placket securely.

• Clip it horizontally for the cleanest look.

• Avoid placing it too high near the knot or too low near the waist.

This keeps your tie looking sharp and your outfit looking intentional.

When to Use a Tie Clip

Tie clips are perfect for formal and business occasions, ensuring your tie stays perfectly in place during long meetings or events. However, they aren’t always necessary for casual settings or when wearing very slim or novelty ties.

• Ideal for pairing with our formal silk ties.

• Best avoided with ultra-slim or casual knit ties where clips might seem bulky.

A tie clip adds that extra layer of sophistication without overwhelming your look.

Final Thought: Complement Your Tie with Confidence

While Oswin Hyde doesn’t stock tie clips, understanding their role helps you elevate your style when wearing our premium ties. Pair your favourite tie with a well-chosen clip for a look that’s sharp, secure, and effortlessly elegant.
