What to pay attention to before getting the tie slide?
When choosing a clip in a store, pay attention to the following details.

Quality. The clip must be made of good quality metal, otherwise, it may not only not emphasize your image, but also harm it.
Design. A tie clip should be equipped with teeth because it is thanks to them that the tie stays where it should be. The role of additional fastening can also be performed by the chain present on the clip with a special eyelet, provided for putting on a shirt on a button.
The weight. It is better to refuse accessories that are too heavy since they have two drawbacks: they have a vulgar appearance and deform the fabric of the tie and shirt.
How to combine it with other garments?
Purchasing several tie clips is just the first step towards creating a man’s business image. It is equally important to learn how to combine this accessory with other elements of your wardrobe. So, the length of the clip should match the width of the tie. As for the colour schemes, black hairpins are suitable for suits in dark shades, but if you wear a blue tie, you can give preference to a clip of this colour.
Exactly where to fasten the tie with a clip depends on whether you want to hide it or, on the contrary, flaunt it. In the first case, the accessory should be fastened slightly above the fourth button of the shirt. Thanks to this, the clip will “hide” behind the lapels of the jacket, if the latter is buttoned, but even with the jacket unbuttoned, the clip will not attract the attention of others. In the second case, the clip should be stabbed slightly below the second shirt button.
