Top Ten Summer Steals: #9 Want Les Essentiels Collar Pins
While (hopefully) most of you out there know what a collar pin is, we expect that many of you do not. A collar pin is the small accessory that looks like a safety pin that helps to prop your tie knot up and give you that classic protruding tie look. Unfortunately, these have fallen out of common sartorial knowledge, but recently we’ve been seeing more and more of the most stylish guys we know wearing these. They may seem small, but the effect can really be quite large. Want Les Essentiels de la Vie sell a great gold and silver pair that come packages in a really cool leather case.
While many of you out there might think that $75 is a lot to pay on collar pins, we’ll have you know that quality ones like these will often run you over $60 a pop. So for $75, getting two as well as the leather case is quite a deal in our eyes. These are the little type of accessories that may seem obscure now, but once you start using them you’ll feel as if you couldn’t get dressed in the morning without them. Oh, and contrary to popular belief you don’t need a club collar shirt to wear these with. Feel free to grab a beat-up oxford button down and go to town.

…and check out the OTHER J.Press option (titled collar holder) so you won’t leave holes in your collar. You should not impale your clothing, be it via safety pin or tie pin.
that’s all rubbish. just go on ebay and you can get a great range of collar “clips” which don’t pierce the collar and are loads loads cheaper and look just the same. I got a lot of 10 amazing ones for £15.
