How to wear a tie pin correctly? The accessory is still new territory for many gentlemen. Some gentlemen tend to wear the tie pin very low. That's why here are a few tips on how to wear the tie pin properly:
- The tie clip should be worn between the 3rd and 4th shirt buttons and should be at the same level as the breast pocket. Because if you fasten the tie pin too low, it will be covered by the jacket. If it is worn too high, it will lose its functionality.
- Always place the tie pin perpendicular to the tie.
- Don't just attach it to the tie. To ensure that the tie stays in place, make sure that the tie clip is also clamped to the shirt placket.
- Make sure that when placing the tie pin, do not damage your tie.
- To avoid ripples and wrinkles in the tie, do not push the tie clip too far. After all, the tie should lie smooth and flat.
Tie pin size
Tie pin should never exceed the width of the tie. So, when choosing the right tie clip, the width of the tie is crucial. The basic rule is that the length of the tie pin should be no more than three quarters of the width of the tie. To do this, you should measure your tie between the third and fourth shirt button.
