I would imagine a discreet pin, attached to the vest under the jacket. I have seen some photos of royal men who clearly did not use a pin and their sash migrated, very sloppy in my opinion. I think the elegant way to wear a sash is the old German way that Constantine of Greece, Philip of Edinburgh, Charles III, and Juan Carlos of Spain employ, which pins the sash under the arm.

The men who get it right, like the Duke of Edinburgh always did, use the method below for evening wear. I have often thought they must have a truncated version of the sash which is cut off at the armpit front and back and held by studs but that's guessing. For a uniform the sash is held under the shoulder epaulette(?). I'm not sure that epaulette is always the proper word when rank is displayed on the shoulders.

For evening wear perhaps the sash is reduced to just the front part - because I now notice a stud on the hip.
