    Windsor The Windsor knot is named after the Duke of Windsor, who achieved a unique look by tying a four-in-hand knot with specially-made, wide and thick ties.

    Half-Windsor The half-Windsor is a versatile knot similar to the full-Windsor but is about three-quarters the size. The half-Windsor is a medium-sized, nearly symmetrical knot that, when tied correctly, produces a deep and substantial dimple. It works best with neckties of a medium to light thickness. Here’s how to tie it:[3]

    Simple Also known as the Oriental, Kent, or Petit Noeud, the simple knot contains the fewest possible steps and is very easy to learn. However, it isn’t very popular in Western countries (though it maintains popularity in China), possibly because it isn’t self-releasing, making it more difficult to untie. This knot is compact and works well with thick neck ties or for tall people who need a little extra length. Here’s how to tie it:[4]
    • Start with the backside of the tie facing away from you, with the wide end on the right and the small end on the left. The tip of the small end should rest slightly above your belly button. Only move the wide end.
    • Cross the wide end under the small end to the left.
    • Loop the wide end across the small end to the right.
    • Pull the wide end up into the neck loop from underneath.

    Kelvin The Kelvin knot is named after Lord Kelvin, a mathematical physicist who contributed to the theory of knots in relation to atomic structure. The knot is an extension of the simple knot and produces a lithe and tidy knot similar in size to the four-in-hand, but slightly fuller and more angular. It’s ideal for both business and casual attire. Here’s how to tie it:[5]
    • Start with the backside of the tie facing away from you, with the wide end on the right and the small end on the left. Rest the tip of the small end slightly above your belly button, and only move the wide end.

Here’s how to tie it:[6]
    • Start with the wide end of the tie on the right and the small end on the left. Position the tie so that the tip of the small end rests slightly above your belly button. Only move the wide end.

He wore the knot for 30 years before anchorman Don Shelby “discovered” it and publicized it on local television in 1989, causing its popularity to rise. The knot is versatile, elegant, and of medium size, between the four-in-hand and the half-Windsor. It’s suitable for most shirt collars and both casual and formal occasions. Here’s how to tie it:[7]

    Bow Tie The bow tie was created because of the need for neckwear that was easier to wear than the cravat and would last throughout an active day. Today, bow ties are mainly worn during formal occasions, but they have become more popular for everyday wear. Here’s how to tie one:[8]
    • Start with the bow tie lying face up, and adjust it so the right side is shorter than the left. The end on the left will be referred to as A, and the end on the right will be referred to as B.
    • Move A to the right side, across B.
    • Bring A under B and up through the neck loop.
    • At the joint, fold B towards the right, then towards the left to create the bow shape.

    • Push the pinched end of A through the loop behind B.
    • Pull on the folded parts of the bow to tighten, then adjust until balanced on both sides.

How to Choose the Right Tie Knot

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Choose a knot based on the size and style of your tie. Not all ties (or knots) are created equal, so some knots work better on different ties than others. For example, thick ties often require smaller knots, like the four-in-hand or the simple knot. Thin ties, on the other hand, benefit from larger knots, like the Pratt or Windsor. If you plan on wearing a specific tie, play around with different knots to find one that works best.
  2. 2
    Consider the knot’s complexity. If you don’t have much experience tying neck ties, it’s probably not a good idea to start with a complex, difficult knot. Master some of the basic knots, like the four-in-hand, before moving on to more unique styles. You may have to practice a while before you get the hang of things!
  3. 3
    Tailor your tie knot to the occasion. We often think of ties as being formal wear, but that’s not always the case. For example, if you’re going to a party, a fun and unique tie knot like the fishbone will get you lots of compliments. If you’re attending a business event, however, it’s probably best to keep things professional with a classic knot, like the Windsor.
