Knotting a tie is usually the hardest and yet easiest thing men are faced with. For the suit kind of man, knotting a tie is as easy as A, B, C; however, the man that isn’t all into wearing suits would find this difficult especially if he’s just about entering a career where suits are needed.<\/p>\n

Not everyone had the opportunity to learn how to knot a tie at younger age, most men faced that daunting task when they were already men, and it isn’t that easy at that stage.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I learnt how to knot a tie in my younger days in school since it was compulsory as tie was an important part of our dressing. If not for that experience, I also would have been terrible with. There are two stylish styles for knotting tie and they are classy as well – the Four-in-hand knot style and the Windsor style.<\/p>\n

The Four-in-hand knot style<\/b><\/p>\n

\"four<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This style is also known as simple knot due to its simplicity. The result from this style of knotting is usually narrow and slightly asymmetric.<\/p>\n

It is done in four simple steps.<\/p>\n

– Place the broad end of your tie about ten inches below the slimmer end.<\/p>\n

\"4<\/a><\/p>\n

– Place the broad end of the tie across the end and continue underneath.<\/p>\n

\"4<\/a><\/p>\n

– Place the broad end across the narrow end once again.<\/p>\n

\"4<\/a><\/p>\n

– Step 3 would create an opening in the centre; slip the broad end into that knot and tighten and you would have your Four-in-hand knot style.<\/p>\n

Windsor knot<\/b><\/p>\n

\"WINDSOR\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This knot is thought to be named after the Duke of Windsor. Compared to the Four-in-hand knot, the Windsor knot produces a wide symmetrical triangular shape. The Windsor is mostly suited to a wide collar shirt that can properly contain a larger knot.<\/p>\n

How to knot the Windsor<\/p>\n

– Cross the broad end across the thin end, then slip the wide end between the tie and the collar once and drop it back down.<\/p>\n

\"windsor<\/a><\/p>\n

– Wrap the broad end at the back of the thinner end<\/p>\n

\"windsor<\/a><\/p>\n

– Bring the wide end back to the front and just over the loop<\/p>\n

\"windsor<\/a><\/p>\n

– Wrap the broad end around the narrow end one more time and place through the loop<\/p>\n

\"windsor<\/a><\/p>\n

– Slip the wide end through the centre and tighten.<\/p>\n

Your Windsor style is done with just 5 simple steps. Knotting a tie couldn’t be this easier.<\/p>\n
