Tie Bar & Tie Clip Primer + How & Why To Wear One

About this video

The Gazette team explains the practical and aesthetic benefits of wearing tie bars and tie clips, demonstrating how to properly position and select them for different tie widths. They cover positioning guidelines, width ratios, styling options like angling for a more relaxed look, and design recommendations for versatile everyday wear.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends tie bars and clips serve both decorative and functional purposes—they keep ties centered and clean while adding a touch of individuality to an outfit
• Proper positioning should be visible but positioned about one hand-width above the closing button, with the clip covering approximately 70-85% of the tie width
• The Gazette team suggests keeping designs simple with neutral colors and maintaining one silver and one gold option to coordinate with most outfits; angling the clip can add a more relaxed, nonchalant aesthetic
