Introduction (Summary)
No matter what line of work you are in, tying a tie is an essential part of every guy's style playbook.
Necessary Things:
- a tie
- someone's neck
Step 1:
The wide end "A" should extend about 12" below narrow end "B". Cross wide end "A" over narrow end "B".
Step 2:
Turn wide end "A" back underneath narrow end "B".
Step 3:
Continue by bringing wide end "A" back over in front of narrow end "B" again.
Step 4:
Pull wide end "A" up and through the loop around your neck.
Step 5:
Hold the front of the knot loosely with your index finger and bring wide end down through front loop.
Step 6:
Remove finger and tighten knot carefully to collar by holding narrow end "B" and sliding the knot up.
Tips and Tricks:
- The Dimple: Every knot should be tied so that there is a dimple or crease in the center of the tie just below the knot. This forces the tie to billow and creates a fullness that is the secret to its proper draping.
- After you've tied your knot but before you tighten it up to your throat, neatly pinch the fabric directly underneath the knot.
- Keep pinching as you tighten the knot; make sure the dimple's locked in.
