The Windsor Knot

The Windsor Knot is a thick, wide and triangular tie knot that projects confidence. It would
therefore be your knot of choice for presentations, job interviews, courtroom appearances etc. It
is best suited for spread collar shirts and it's actually quite easy to do.

While just about everyone can use this tie knot to tie his tie, it looks especially well on men with
longer necks as its wide form shortens the perceived height of the neck a little bit.

To tie the Windsor Knot, select a necktie of your choice and stand in front of a mirror. Then
simply follow the steps below:

1) Start with the wide end ("W") of your necktie

on the right, extending about 12 inches below
the narrow end ("N") on the left.

2) Then cross the wide end over the narrow end.

3) Bring the wide end up through the loop

between the collar and your tie.
4) Then bring the wide end back down.

5) Pull the wide end underneath the narrow end

and to the right, back through the loop and to the
right again so that the wide end is inside out.

6) Bring the wide end across the front from right

to left.

7) Then pull the wide end up through the loop

again.
 8) Bring the wide end down through the knot in
front.

9) And -- using both hands -- tighten the knot

carefully and draw it up to the collar.

Congratulations, you did it! You see, it is not rocket science after all. Simply keep practicing the
Windsor Knot a few more times until you can tie this necktie knot within less than two minutes.

The Four-in-hand

The four-in-hand is the all-time classic of tie knots. It is by far the most used, because it is
simple to tie. It works well for most types of tie and with nearly all types of shirt collar. It is
perfect for men of medium height and for tall men.
Conical and elongated, the Four-in-hand is narrow when tied with a lightweight fabric and
wider when formed with a thick material.

Preparation: Turn up the collar of your shirt, button the top button, then put the tie around your
neck.
Medium height men should position the narrow end of the tie at waist level. Tall men should
position the narrow end a little above the waist. Narrow-chested men will look better with the
Double Knot which has a similar shape.

The steps:
Step 1: Just below the collar, lay the wide end over the narrow end.
Step 2: Take the wide end behind the narrow end.
Step 3: Bring the wide end across the layover.
Step 4: Holding a finger in the loop, bring the wide end up, then down through the loop.
Step 5: Holding the narrow end, pull the knot gently up to the top shirt button.

When the knot is finished, the narrow end must be concealed and the wide end should be level
with your belt.
