The Top Men's Tie Clips

The tie clip is simultaneously functional and decorative — it anchors a tie to a dress shirt to prevent it swinging forward, and in doing so frames the tie as a deliberate piece of personal adornment. A well-chosen tie bar is one of the few men's accessories that improves with quality in both function and appearance.

Why It's Trending

  • The accessory-focused approach to menswear styling championed by Instagram has rehabilitated the tie clip from outdated to considered
  • Men returning to office dress after pandemic casualization have rediscovered neckwear accessories
  • The tie clip signals a level of dressing intentionality that resonates in formal business contexts
  • Vintage and heirloom tie clips have driven a collector market that keeps the category in editorial coverage

What to Look For

  • 1Width of the clip should be 3/4 the width of the tie — too wide looks clumsy, too narrow looks afterthought
  • 2Attach between the third and fourth buttons of the shirt — too high looks stiff, too low swings uselessly
  • 3Silver and gunmetal are the most versatile finishes; gold works with warmer tones and brown leather
  • 4Slide-bar clips are the most secure and damage-free; avoid cheap clips that crimp and damage tie fabric
