When it comes to dressing up for the occasion, MetalX has custom metal accessories which might be just what you need to complete your Valentine’s date look.

Good quality custom cufflinks may be exactly what you need if you opt for a formal date with a fancy dinner, and sharing a glass of wine or two with your lover. Cufflinks for men is one of the easiest ways to accessorize while keeping the minimalistic look. Turn your simple formal wear into a classy outfit.

CUSTOM PILOT WINGS

Going on a spontaneous date after work? Polish your work attire with a custom aviator badge. You can never go wrong with a wing pin metal that gives off a sense of strength and confidence.

CUSTOM LAPEL PINS

With a lapel pin maker you can also create a custom lapel pin to give to your special someone and make it a more memorable night.

CUSTOM METAL ACCESSORIES FROM METALXCUSTOM

At MetalX, we give you four creative options of custom metal accessories to choose from: custom cufflinks, custom lapel pins, custom tie bars, and custom pilot wings. All four can be the perfect gift or giveaway depending on the situation and setting. You won’t make a wrong choice when choosing either of these. But what makes each one stand out among the rest?

CUSTOM MADE CUFFLINKS

Custom cufflinks are probably one of the best ways for men to accessorize with something that is also fully functional. These jewelry replace the dull buttons on your shirt cuffs. They come out with an ornamental look to complete your formal attire. What makes custom made cufflinks stand out even more is the fact that some of these are especially made to become family heirlooms, passed on from one generation to another.

CUSTOM LAPEL PINS

The uses of custom lapel pins are endless. They are the most popular among all the custom metal accessories on this list. If you have a lapel pin maker within reach, you have the chance to get creative with any design you can possibly imagine. Then, you can attach your lapel pin on your shirts, jeans, or bags, and wear it anywhere! Their decorative attributes make up for the lack of practical function of lapel pins.

CUSTOM TIE BARS

Custom tie bars or tie clips are another kind of accessory common among men, and another one that serves a function when being worn. The main and only purpose of tie bars are to hold your ties in place, but don’t let this stop you from coming up with your own designs like a custom engraved tie bar or custom tie bar logo. Their minimalistic and subtle look is what makes tie bars distinct compared to other accessories.

CUSTOM PILOT WINGS

Because of their origin as Aviator Badges for those who accomplished a particular training in military aviation, custom pilot wings produce a sense of strength, authority, and professionalism when worn with your corporate attire. From being military insignias, custom aviator badges are now widely used in the commercial airline industry and even in other businesses. You sure won’t miss when your flight cabin crew passes by with a distinguished look from their pilot wings pin.

If you’re not familiar with the different tie clips you can choose, then this post will help you.  Learn the different types that fit with your style and look.

Tie Tacks

Tie Tacks are traditional, old fashioned type of tie clips. This type of tie bar uses a pin to pierce the material of the tie, much like a lapel pin. When using this tie bar, coarser fabrics like wool or cashmere should be used to as not to leave holes or marks in the ties. This type is not very common already, as there are other types that have evolved and are easier to use which we will be explained next.

Hinged Tie Clip

This type of tie bar, which has two bars that are attached by a spring mechanism, has become the most common and popular type of tie bar. It is much like a crocodile’s mouth, as you simply pinch one end to open it and slide it onto the shirt and tie to clip. This type is usually more secure as has more pressure thus keeping the ties in place.

Non-Hinged Tie Clip

A non-hinged tie clip is another popular type of tie bar that works like a money clip. You simply slide in the clip that is bent in a U-shape and push the two ends together to clip the tie to the shirt. When using this tie bar, it is best to use thicker fabrics for both your shirt and tie to increase pressure, otherwise the clips won’t be properly secured enough.

Skinny Tie Clip

Skinny tie clips must be paired with skinny ties. It is a basic rule that your tie bar should not exceed the length of your tie. If you use this tie bar with a regular tie, there might not be enough security to keep the tie in place.

Thicker Tie Clip

If you prefer wearing thicker ties, then you would obviously need thicker tie clips as well to match and keep them in place. Since your tie is thicker, not only will you need a thicker tie clip, but you might also have to look for a heavier material for the tie bar to properly hold the tie.

Silver Tie Clip

A silver tie clip will be a classic color that you can wear up with almost anything. It can be matched with vibrant colored ties to tone down the look, or even neutral ties to keep the simplicity if that’s what you’re going for. You will sure to keep a silver tie for years as it will not go out of style.

Gold Tie Clip

Gold tie bars work with warmer tones of your tie such as red and maroon. This is another classic piece that you can match with many ties, either plain or patterned so long as they match together.

Black Tie Clip

If you want to keep it plain and simple, a black tie bar will be your best bet and will not let you down. It all depends on what look you’re after. If you like your tie clip to be obvious, you can pair it with a light colored tie. Some people also like to hide the tie bar by matching it with a dark colored tie.
