Tie blades.

[LabelKing]

Do you tuck your tie blade into the keeper?

I do not; I feel the look of the loose tie blade is quite nice.

Apparently, it was practiced by certain British men in the '60s, and some Italians today.

I do. I can't stand the blade hanging out off to the side.

I wear these fairly thin twill silk ties, usually with regimental stripes, and the loose blades tends to look nice.

 

[Homme]

I tuck, the blade hanging askew makes me look a little unkempt.

Using a tieclip..?

 

[California Dreamer]

I tuck. I hate wandering tie, and a loose blade would make it worse.

 

[Naturlaut II]

I don't; and the loose blade doesn't wander as much as some would think.

 

[texas_jack]

Usually not, mainly because they don't reach.

I tuck when I feel like it, and I don't when I don't.

I've seen on shorter guys where they tuck the small blade into the trousers and let the wider blade hang at belt level, which looks elegant.

I do the same, it has to be the right tie though. It doesn't work on heavier wider ties. It looks particularly chic with unlined or lightly lined, skinnier ties, tied with a simple, small 4-in-hand.

 

[matadorpoeta]

i don't tuck.

 

[nioh]

I always let it hang loose.

I've also seen it done with wide albeit fairly thin weight silk ties. The wide blade is left shorter than the thin blade and it's all very insouciant.
