Most people will agree that the clip on tie is not the choice of necktie worn in business. Learning two or three different tie knots will not only help you match specific tie knots to the type of tie and the dress shirt, but it also gives you much more flexibility to tie the tie to its right length. In addition, although clip-on ties are quite available (especially on the internet), there is a much larger selection for regular un-tied neckties.

Only a few industries require you to wear a clip-on tie. The majority of times where a clip on tie is needed is for safety reasons: Clip-on ties prevent accidents and choking. On rare occasions company require their employees to wear a uniform necktie. In this case clip on ties are sometimes chosen since this will guarantee that every employee’s tie looks exactly the same: Same tie knot and same length for the most part. Catering business use clip-on ties quite often for their wait staff.
