It’s no secret that TV shows have been setting men’s fashion trends for years. Besides providing great entertainment, Boardwalk Empire’s “Nucky” Thompson played by Steve Buscemi above, has brought back the collar bar. <strong><a href="http://www.thetiebar.com/" target="_blank">TheTieBar.com</a></strong>, the leading online retailer of men’s neck ties and accessories, is now offering the collar bar in gold and silver for $15. This subtle yet elegant look has re-emerged from the early 1900’s and can transform any man into a debonair gentleman. Another actor rocking a collar bar in Boardwalk Empire is Vincent Piazza as Lucky Luciano.

Never wear a tie bar and a collar bar at the same time. This is a major fashion faux pas! It will make your outfit cluttered and over accessorized.</p> <p>2.      Collar bars look great when matched with the appropriate belt and cufflinks. This creates a polished and sophisticated look.</p> <p>3.      Some traditional collar bars require a shirt that has a special hole, but TheTieBar.com’s collar bars do not. They slide right on making it easy for everyone to accomplish this look.</p> <p>4.      Beware of spread collars!  Collar bars will work with every style of collars except spread collars.</p>   <!--more-->   <p><a href="/images/old/6a00e5537d966288330133f5c58b93970b-800wi.jpg" rel="lightbox" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Collar bar" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00e5537d966288330133f5c58b93970b" src="/images/old/6a00e5537d966288330133f5c58b93970b-500wi.jpg" style="width: 480px;" title="Collar bar" /></a> <br /> <a href="/images/old/6a00e5537d966288330133f5c58c07970b-800wi.jpg" rel="lightbox" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Vincent Piazza as Lucky Luciano" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00e5537d966288330133f5c58c07970b" src="/images/old/6a00e5537d966288330133f5c58c07970b-500wi.jpg" style="width: 480px;" title="Vincent Piazza as Lucky Luciano" /></a> <br /> <a href="/images/old/6a00e5537d96628833013488e5dd2a970c-800wi.jpg" rel="lightbox" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Collar bar gold" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00e5537d96628833013488e5dd2a970c" src="/images/old/6a00e5537d96628833013488e5dd2a970c-500wi.jpg" style="width: 480px;" title="Collar bar gold" /></a> <br /><br /></p>
