Tying is really the details.
Each tie style covers different message.
Different shirt collars and necks, and even tie knot styles for tall, short, big and skinny people are different.
However, the vast majority of people can not tie.
There is a saying: those who can tie tie, and those who can’t tie tie a knot.
Interestingly, in our country most of the tying levels are about the same, and people don’t find it strange or anything wrong.
Today we learn the following 16 ways to tie.
1. Four In Hand knot (how to tie Four In Hand knot?)
Detailed steps:
1. Wrap the tie around the collar. The thick end on the left is 3-4 inches lower than the thin end.
2. Thread the thick end before the thin end.
3. Wrap the thick end behind the thin end and cross horizontally from right to left.
4. Pass the thicker end horizontally across the front of the knot from right to left. Slide your finger under the horizontal band.
5. Twist the tip of the butt up and slide it under the loop on the neck.
6. Run the butt down through the loop you keep open with your fingers.
7. Pull the thicker end through the loop and tie the knot tightly.
8. Tighten the knot gently with one hand and pull the thin end with the other hand to hold the knot.
The Four In Hand knot is one of the most popular tie knots for beginners to learn how to tie. Not only is it simple and easy to learn, but it is also one of the oldest way.
This knot requires less tie length, making it a great choice for tall men trying to tie a regular length tie.
The narrower shape is perfect for narrow-collar and button-neck dress shirts.
2. Half Windsor knot (how to tie the Half Windsor knot?)
Detailed steps:
1. Hang the tie around your neck, with the large right end over your thigh and the thin left end over your rib.
2. Cross the wide end in front of the thin end from right to left, making an X shape under the chin.
3. Wrap the wide end of the tie horizontally around the thin end and behind it.
4. Go through the opening of the X at the top and pull tight.
5. Hold the wide end with your right hand and wrap it in front of the thin end from right to left.
6. Keep the triangle intact with your left hand, bring the wide side toward the chest and cross the X from the back of the loop.
7. Open the triangle formed above the X using the index finger of your left hand and pull the wide end all the way to the bottom.
8. To adjust the length, pull the knot up toward the collar while pull the thin end of the tie tight. You may need to adjust the leveling loop to make sure it is flat and even.
In addition to the Four In Hand knot, the half-Windsor knot is best for people who are just beginning to learn how to tie.
This knot is ideal for medium width and thicker ties. This is the most rich in function and popular tie knot.
Since a half Windsor tie requires less tie length than a large Windsor knot, thus this is also a great option for tall men trying to wear regular length ties.
3. Windsor knot (how to tie the Windsor knot?)
Detailed steps:
1. Hang the tie around your neck, the wide end on the right is 4-6 inches lower than the belt.
2. Cross the wide end horizontally in front of the elongated end and make an X under the chin.
3. Tuck the wider end up, then under the ring around the neck, pointing downwards from the X. Use one finger to hold the X in place.
4. Pull the wide-angle end all the way.
5. Circle the wide end around the knot and pass horizontally from right to left.
6. Flip the wide end tip up and pull it diagonally across the front end of the knot.
7. Circle the wider end around the top of the collar and put it back in place. It should appear in the left of the thin end.
8. Thread the wide end horizontally across the front of the knot from left to right. This forms a horizontal band. Insert a finger into it and hold it in place.
9. Place the wide loop end under the loop again and make it around the collar, with the tip facing up.
10. Rotate the wide end down and pass the tip through the horizontal loop you saved with your finger in step 8.
11. Pull the wide end all the way and smooth out any creases or slack in the knot.
When I’m asked how to tie, the “Full Windsor knot” is always mentioned. The Windsor knot has a large, triangular symmetrical shape and is ideal for men with wide collars and larger necks.
Windsor knots require additional cable tie lengths because there are two wraps. Tall men with larger necks will need a tie between 61 – 64 inches.

6. Fold the longer end back toward the chest with your right hand and pinch the crease, and double the tip to form the wing.
