Tie Bar Dress Code: How to Wear a Tie Bar

The tie bar has gained much popularity over the past year and I thoght that it would be about time to give all men interested in tie bars a few pointers before pinning their tie to their dress shirt. Tie bars were first introduced in the mid to late 1930s and they were initially invented as a tool to keep the necktie from dangling. Soon after the tie bar emerged, similar accessories were invented such as tie pins, tie clips, and tie chains. Today, the simple and sleek tie bar is most popular. Below are some tips you should consider before adding this piece of hardware to your fine silk tie.

Best Ties for Tie Bars
The tie bar adds some nice detail to any necktie. Although any tie color and pattern can be paired with a tie bar, there are some neckties that look better than other with this accessory. Best are simple tie designs and solid colors. In addtion, skinny neckties are one of the best looking ties in combination with tie bars. Not only does the tie bar add some sohistication to your skinny tie, but it will also hold the tie in place - solving the problem of the commonly widley tangling and twisting skinny tie.

Matching Tie Bar Colors & Material
Most tie bars are either silver or gold in color and are either shiny or matte. When wearing a tie bar make sure that the color and finish match the other metal pieces on your outfit such as cufflinks, belt buckle, and your watch.
