Things You Don’t Know About Tie Clips



A tie pin (or tiepin, also known as a stick pin/stickpin) is a neckwear-controlling device, originally worn by wealthy English gentlemen to secure the folds of their cravats. They were first popularized at the beginning of the 19th century.
By the 1860s, the English upper middle classes embraced wearing cravats with a consequently lower quality of materials and designs used in both the neckwear and in the stickpins used to keep it in place. By the 1870s, Americans had embraced stickpins and designs were mass-produced which included animal heads, horse shoes, knife, fork motifs and so on. By the 1890s, stickpins had crossed gender lines as women began wearing them with sporting outfits worn for bicycling, boating, horseback riding, tennis and golf. The Ascot, Four in Hand, Sailor scarf, cravat bow tie and wrapped scarf all became popular for both men and women, and all could be set off with an ornamental stickpin. Between 1894 and 1930 many patents were issued covering. One patent was for a brooch which could convert the center medallion to a stickpin.
Gold or silver style safety pins were commonly used as tie and collar pins from the beginning of the 20th century. Such a safety pin was used to fasten the tie to the shirt and was an integral part of a man's clothing or school uniform, being especially useful on formal occasions or in windy weather. It could now be possibly making a comeback in 2013 as recently illustrated in the fashion section of a British newspaper. Alternative ways to control unruly ties are available, although an ordinary safety pin inserted through from behind the shirt can invisibly secure the tie without damaging its surface.
During the 1920s the use of straight ties made of delicate materials such as silk became more fashionable and the use of tie clips gained prominence, replacing the more traditional tie pin.

Today, when tie clips are popular, if you wear a suit and tie, you will lose your soul by missing a few inches of professional tie clips. How to wear a tie clip is especially important if you want to look neat. The following five points are summarized for your reference:
1. Tie clips are not pins unless you want a perforated tie series.
2. The tie clip should not just clamp the ends of the tie, but also make sure it holds the placket.
3. The tie clip should not be placed between the third and fourth buttons of the shirt. Below this standard, it will be covered by the jacket. If it is too high, it will look strange.
4. Don't tie the clip, it should not exceed the 3/4 width of the tie. If your tie is a narrow version, please choose a smaller size tie. Never violate this rule for any reason.
5. Do not choose a tie clip that is too shiny, after all, it should be used to strengthen the style, not to steal the style. (If you can choose a Vintage tie clip style, remember!)
