Wearing a tie clip correctly with a suit involves clipping the tie to the shirt placket to keep the tie neatly in place. The tie clip's purpose is to prevent the tie from moving around excessively.
Here's a breakdown:
- Functionality: The tie bar keeps the tie from "going crazy" and ensures it stays put against your shirt (0:54). It clips both the tie and the shirt together (0:10).
- Placement: The tie bar should clip onto both the tie and the shirt, not just the tie.
