NECK TIE:HOW TO KNOT A TIE
Wednesday, December 24, 2014
We have classic tie knots,like the simple,four-in-hand,prince albert,the kelvin,half-windsor,the pratt,the windsor,and the bow-tie;But today we will be looking at windsor knot.
This might not be new to many of us,but it wont be a bad idea to go over it again;This particular way of knotting a tie is called the WINDSOR KNOT,and neck-ties knotted in this way are strictly worn for job interviews,presentation,courtroom appearances,contract appointments.
The following are steps taken to knot a tie using the windsor knot style:
* Start with the wide end of your neck tie on the right,extending about 12 inches below the narrow end on the left.
* Then cross the wide end over the narrow end.
* Bring the wide end up through the loop between the collar and your tie.
* Then bring the wides back down.
* 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.
* Bring the wide end across the front from the right to left.
* Then pull the wide end up through the loop again.
* Bring the wide end down through the knot in front.
* And using both hands tighten the knot carefully and draw it up to the collar.
N.B: Windsor knot is worn on spread collar shirts.
