tie bars

Cravat securing clips

Tie bars are small metal clasps that hold a necktie flat against the shirt front, preventing it from swinging or shifting.

They slide horizontally across the tie and shirt placket, pinning them together.

Also called tie clips, though bars technically slide on while clips spring open.

Beyond function, they serve as subtle accessories: He wore a silver tie bar with his navy suit.
