Learn How To Properly Wear A Tie
Wearing a tie can be a challenging ordeal and with this understanding I'm motivated
to bring you a number of tips on how on various tie knots and how to master the art of tying each. It's popularly said that there isn't any one quote-unquote way to tie a neck tie but it's also accepted that certain tie knots lend themselves better to specific collar types, fabrics and occasions. Below are several classic neck tie knots that are a must have for every man in his collection.
Classic knots
Windsor Knot
This knot obtains its name from the English Duke of Windsor, it's also referred to as "double Windsor or full Windsor" it's a wide triangular knot usually worn to formal events. This knot looks best when worn with a collared shirt.
How to tie a Windsor knot
* Drape the necktie around your collar and start with the wider end extending approximately 12 inches below the narrow end; cross it over.
* Wrap the wide end around, and bring it up over and through the loop between the collar and the tie. Then pull it down toward the front.
* Curl the wide end that is left behind the narrow end.
* Bring the wide end back up again through the loop.
* Put down through loop and pull around across narrow end as shown.
* Bring the wide end up and tuck it through the loop a third time, and bring it back down to the front.
* Lastly, pull down on the wide end carefully to tighten and draw up the knot snugly to your collar.
Should both ends fail to match, simply start over and adjust the length of your tie accordingly, make sure your collar falls nicely all around, and center the knot as best you can.
Half-Windsor
Looking for something a little bit more assertive? Then try the half-Windsor knot. This can be worn with standard shirt collars.
