How To Wear A Tie Stick Pin
About this video
The Gazette team demonstrates how to properly wear a decorative tie pin, explaining its placement, securing method, and care instructions. They cover the formal occasions when tie pins are appropriate, how to attach and secure them to prevent movement, and which tie fabrics work best with this accessory.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team recommends placing the tie pin just below the dimple of the tie at the end of the fold for optimal appearance
- The Gazette team advises securing the pin to the shirt itself to prevent the tie from moving, especially when worn under a jacket
- The Gazette team suggests using tie pins only with loosely woven ties such as jacquard fabrics, not tightly woven ones
- The Gazette team recommends using steam rather than direct ironing to remove small holes left by the pin and prevent silk damage
