The Tie Bar

The last couple of years we have seen the resurgence of the tie bar. I personally love this trend, although I see as more of a trend. The tie bar is staple of the business man's wardrobe. Originally designed to keep your tie from taking a dive in your bowl of Honey Nut Cheerio's or perhaps to defeat the anti-gravital force of Dilbert's neckwear, the tie has become the accessory every man must own.

There are a few rules when it comes to wearing the tie bar.

#1 Keep it proportional to your tie.

The tie bar should not exceed the width of the tie you are wearing.

#2 Keep it simple

I'm not a fan of flashy or "blingy" tie bars. But there are exceptions to the rules.

This guy is wearing an arrow tie bar. And it's awesome. I love it.

Aside from those simple rules, you are free to style your tie bar however you like. You can even try going for different colors like these:

 If you are looking for a great site with plenty of choices, visit www.thetiebar.com. They have just about every style you can think of at the affordable price of $15 a pop. It's hard to find a better deal than that. Not only can you buy a tie clip/bar, they also sell ties and pocket squares. On top of all of that, they are recommended by GQ. A superb site with a great selection. Check them out.

Thus ends the post about tie bars. Stay classy, folks.
