where does a tie clip go

A tie clip goes horizontally on the tie, about between the third and fourth shirt buttons, and it should clip the tie to the shirt placket so it stays flat and secure.

Quick placement

  • Put it around mid-chest, not too high and not down near your belt.
  • Keep it straight and level across the tie.
  • Match the clip width to your tie so it looks balanced.

Small style tip

  • If you’re wearing a jacket, the tie clip usually sits in the visible area of the shirt opening, so it can show without looking awkward.

If you want, I can also show you exactly how to position it on different tie widths.
