Collar Bar & Collar Clip Guide - How To Wear Them & What Mistakes To Avoid

About this video

Sven Raphael Schneider demonstrates how to properly wear collar bars, covering two main types: screw-end bars that require pinhole shirts, and clip-style collar bars with spring mechanisms. The Gazette team explains the installation process for each style and argues that collar bars elevate the tie knot for a polished appearance while keeping it in place throughout the day.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends getting pinhole shirts custom-made, as ready-made options often have holes positioned too low to effectively elevate the tie knot
• The Gazette team argues that clip-style collar bars with strong spring mechanisms are preferable to safety pins because they don’t damage the shirt collar and remain secure all day
• Proper collar bar installation involves threading the bar through the pinhole or clip positions on either side of the tie knot to create a refined, debonair look
