These are collectively called "tie clips" in Japan, but it's surprisingly little known that their structures have been devised in various ways since their inception.
There are various types of tie clips, including the classic "tie pin" which involves deeply inserting a long needle into the tie and shirt, the "tie tack" which uses a short needle to secure the tie to a button on the shirt with a chain, the "tie chain" which involves threading the tie through a chain and securing it to a shirt button with a horizontal base, and the "tie bar," which has a simple structure that secures the tie to the shirt using only the tension of the metal.

The most common type of tie clip today uses a spring and small notches to secure the tie to the shirt. From here on, we'll focus on tie clips and tie bars, which have a similar shape.

There are some essential tips to know for wearing tie clips and tie bars naturally and without looking out of place. First, let's talk about how to insert them. Due to the way shirts are fastened, the correct way to insert them is to start from the right side of the chest and insert them horizontally towards the left side of the chest.
Furthermore, it goes without saying that the tie's wide and narrow ends, as well as the shirt, must all be tucked in for the tie to be fully secured, and it is crucial to insert them firmly all the way to the base.

Also, although not absolutely necessary, the vertical position in which you wear it can greatly affect the overall impression.
Basically, you can remember that this is slightly above the bottom edge of the V-zone created when wearing a jacket. In other words, it's the position where the tie clip or tie bar is just slightly visible. Knowing this will allow you to adapt flexibly even as jacket trends change.

However, remember that when you take off your jacket, it's more comfortable and practical to move the wide end of the jacket to the area between the fifth and sixth buttons from the top of your shirt, just above your navel, to prevent it from flapping around.
