In addition to being incredibly useful – keeping one’s tie out of one’s lunch – the tie bar (also tie clip) is another visual element that is easy to use for grabbing low-hanging style points. With suits, tie bars add a bit of shine and create a visual connection between the tie and jacket. They also have a way of making a loosened tie and unbuttoned collar look much more measured and much less sloppy.

Easy Style Points
It’s the easiest thing in the world to keep your collars from curling up like shriveled lettuce. Collar bones (collar stays or collar stiffeners) come in a variety of sizes, materials, and price points and are typically more robust than the flimsy plastic ones that come with shirts. There aren’t necessarily bonus style points for after-market collar bones, but there are serious deductions for flimsy or curled collars.
