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 tie of your choice and stand
in front of a mirror. Then simply follow the steps
below:
|
|
1)
The wide end "W" should extend about 12
inches below the narrow end "N". Cross
the wide end "W" over the narrow end
"N". |
|
|
2)
Bring the wide end "W" up through the
loop between the collar and your tie;
then back down. |
|
|
3)
Pull the wide end "W" underneath the
narrow end "N" and to the right, back
through the loop and to the right again
so that the wide end "W" is inside out. |
|
|
4)
Bring the wide end "W" across the front
from right to left. |
|
|
5)
Pull the wide end "W" up through the
loop again. |
|
|
6)
Bring the wide end "W" down through the
knot in front. |
|
|
7)
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 30 seconds.
