How To Wear A Tie Bar
A tie bar is a small detail with a big impact. It adds style, sophistication, and character to any suit and tie. The idea is simple but we have seen men wear a tie bar incorrectly, here is our guide to nailing it:
- Size matters. Keep everything proportionate. A huge tie bar doesn't go with a skinny tie. Ideally, the tie bar should be somewhere between half and 3/4 the width of your tie.
- Placement is a major key. It should be worn slightly below the chest around the sternum or between the 3rd and 4th button of your shirt.
- Clip the tie to your dress shirt; the tie bar isn’t only there for decorative reasons. It has a real purpose and that’s to keep your tie in place.
- There’s a style to it. What most guys don't know is to slightly lift up the tie when sliding/fastening the tie bar into place can make a slight difference in presentation
- Make your metals match. Silver is your go-to metal for a tie bar. Opt for gold to co-ordinate with gold accessories like your watch, jewellery and belt hardware.
- Keep it simple. Tie bars come in a various amount of shapes and colours. Get a solid range of 1-3 tie bars before opting for the more decorative options.
- Don't wear a tie bar with your waistcoat, it defeats the purpose, a layering cardigan is more suitable.
- Tie your tie right. Make sure your tie knot is on point, dimpled right and hitting the top to the middle section of your belt.
