subject: How To Tie A Necktie [print this page]


Many men are still afraid of tying a tie around their neck. No, it does not give them rashes or suffocate them. The problem is that they have no idea how to really tie a tie, even if it is shown to them daily by their loved ones. In reality, there are so many different ways to do your necktie that it can give you headache to only read about all of them. However, men, be strong and do it this once, because after that you will be finally able to dress by yourself without the need to call your girlfriend or mother for help.

Several basics are needed for you in order to fully understand how to tie your necktie properly. No, it is not necessarily a boring, mind-stretching and hard experience. Sometimes it is as easy as a pie; if you don't want to try your best with the hardest knots that it. There is a high difference in the level of mastery you would need for a giant Hanover knot or for the Half-Windsor knot. So the best choice is to just consider the possibilities and probabilities and get moving towards your first really well-tied knot. After all, most of them are based on the same model of putting one end over the other, making a full circle and pushing the shorter now end through the formed knot. Then you should just tighten it.

Often neckties are considered as just some useless accessory that has been left as a heritage from the old centuries. In reality, this is not the case at all. It is a must for every man to have at least ten different ties for ten different occasions in their wardrobe. It doesn't matter if you are going to work, to a prom, to a wedding or to the cinema - you can always wear a tie. Even if there are many ways a tie may differ from another, what makes the real difference is not exactly the fabric, nor the pattern, the real difference is in the used knots (if you don't wear orange ones with pink hearts made from plush that is). Take the Four-in-hand knot for example. It is slightly asymmetrical, quite narrow and very discreet. With its simplicity, it is best suited for work and school as well as simple dinners. Quite the opposite is the notorious Windsor knot, which is not that hard to tie, but leaves an impression of class and reminds people of the British Royal Family. With this said, we should add that it is the best choice for job interviews, court appearances and other special events.

The way a man does his necktie's knot may change his entire appearance. It can transform one suit from an every-day work outfit into a stylish example of male evening apparel. Even with the same necktie one can make a huge difference in his looks by just changing the complexity of his neck accessory's knot.
