The Best Wedding Tie Clips for Every Style

Want a suit accessory that's equal parts fashion and function? The best tie clips deliver. Tie clips (also known as tie bars), much like cufflinks, are a mainstay of menswear and a great (and accessible) piece to have in your wedding accessory arsenal. Tie clips are narrow pieces that use a clip to keep your tie on and aligned with your dress shirt. They can be simple bars or ornamental, eye-catching fashion flexes. I personally love them because they're an easy accessory that makes it clear that you've put just a little bit more thought into your outfit. For some of our favorite tie bars–and the best way to wear them–read on.

Should I Wear a Tie Clip to a Wedding?

The short answer: it's totally up to you. Tie clips are a great way to bring a touch of your personal sense of style to your wedding outfit. They're great for grooms, groomsmen, and guests alike. They also serve a function in securing your tie in place, so whether you're attending an outdoor wedding and expect a windy day or just plan on tearing up the dance floor at the reception, they can be a smart call.

The one instance in which you should pass on a tie clip is if the wedding you're attending has a formal or black-tie dress code. For events like these, you're going to want to wear a tie bar instead of a tie clip, the difference being that the former slides onto your tie rather than clipping onto it. It's a bit more appropriate for formal events.
