Types of tie knot
You are going to need to know how to tie your tie. There are many different ways to do this, each creating a different look.
The classic is probably the four-in-hand knot, which gives a traditional look that works for most occasions. Don’t be intimidated by the name of this knot, as it simply involves taking the wide side of the tie to the right and the narrow side to the left. Make sure the narrow side tip is level with your navel and cross it with the wide side. Slide it back to the right, around the narrow side, and wrap it around the front before threading it through the resulting loop. All you need to do now is tighten the knot and you are ready to go.
If you want to try a different look, the half-Windsor knot is elegant without being overly formal; if you really want to channel old-school style that would fit in at any royal engagement, the full Windsor knot is the way to go. To tie it, start as you would with the four-in-hand but instead of switching the sides, start by threading the wide side through the neck loop and down to the left. Now thread it through the neck to the right. Pull the wide side to the front, then under and up through the neck loop again. Finally, bring the wide end down through this loop and pull it to fit.
