A garment strap clip has a closed upper loop and an open lower loop. The lower loop is formed by a hinged or unhinged arm extending from a first end of the upper loop that terminates in a first connector. The first connector engages with a second connector extending from a point near the second end of the upper loop to close the lower loop. The upper and lower loops are generally co-planar and are in immediate connection with one another. A tube can be attached to the upper loop to retrofit the clip. Alternatively, the upper loop is replaced by a tube for retrofitting the clip.
