How to tie a Windsor tie correctly: option 2

If you need to tie a tie the classic way, then this is definitely Windsor. You will end up with a large triangular knot that has an elegantly strict symmetrical shape.

However, it is worth considering that it is best to tie a Windsor tie to collars with a wide neckline.

Historical reference
A few words about the legend associated with the name of this tie. When Edward VIII abdicated the throne and became Duke of Windsor. It was he who became the inventor of this unit. At one time, he was rightfully considered a trendsetter. Thanks to this person, the nobility fell in love with pullovers, knee socks and boutonnieres.

Place the tie around the neck so that the seam is on the inside. The thick end is located on the right, and the thin end on the left.

3. We pull the thick end from the front into the neck loop that has formed and move it towards the left hand. On a note! Please note that such a knot is only relevant for collars with widely spaced corners, because the bun turns out to be quite voluminous. If you combine this type of knot with another collar, it will look rather short.
4. We get a knot, over which we draw the thick end of the tie in the right direction.
5. Now we pass the thick tie upward through the neck loop.
6. The thick end in front formed an eye. We pass the thick tip through it and tie a knot. Ready! Now you know how to tie a tie double knot.

You can tie such a tie for high collars, the size of which starts from four centimeters. Models made of natural wool or cashmere are considered ideal for a Cross tie, which means this knot is most often made in the winter.

Historical reference
The "cross" tie was especially popular at the beginning of the twentieth century. However, after such a peak in demand, it was quickly forgotten. It was invented by Swede Amanda Kristinsen in 1917. The lady had her own production of ties, and she was madly in love with her business. In one of the catalogs she gave her name to the new node. The Cross Knot may seem difficult, but it is not - you just need to try it a couple of times. Nevertheless, in Russia at that time it took a long time to get used to it.

So, how to tie a tie step by step. To begin, we place the tie on the neck in such a way that the thick end is on the right side and the thin end is on the left.

1. Place a thick tie on top of a thin one so that it points to the left. After this, carefully bend the thick tip around the narrow one, and bring the thick tie under the narrow one in the direction of the right hand.

If you need to quickly tie a tie, then this is not the option. The Hanover knot is quite complex, but undeniably beautiful. As you can see in the photo, this is a symmetrical knot in the shape of a triangle. It is slightly larger in size than the Windsor, which means it requires the widest possible collar. On a narrow collar, it will simply block part of the tie, and its shape will be ugly distorted.
We start tying a knot by throwing the tie around the neck so that the seam is on the outside. Look carefully at the photo on how to tie a tie.

In detail: how to tie an Oriental or Oriental knot

Oriental is another ultimate knot that can be used to tie a tie. But, oddly enough, men use it much less often than everyone else. Despite its simplicity, this type of knot has serious disadvantages. For example, if you tie it not particularly responsibly, then over time the tie will change shape and become ugly distorted, and then it may even come undone. However, the Oriental knot is ideal for ties made from dense fabric: for example, woven, knitted, or wool.

Historical reference

Translated from in English"Oriental" tie means "Eastern" or "Asian". By the way, in Asia this knot is a classic one. A diagram of the Oriental tie knot is presented below.

Throw the tie over so that the seam is on the outside. There should be a wide end on the right side, a narrow end on the left.

On a note! There are knot options that can accentuate a round or narrow face. And there are nodes that can hide a number of shortcomings. The node is very miniature, and if you are the owner round face, then it is better not to use this node.

• Cross the ends of the tie, placing the narrow part on top of the wide one (direction to the right).
• Take the wide tie in your hands, bend it around the narrow one, and lay it down, pointing it to the left.
• Thread the thick tie through the neck loop behind our knot. Then pass it through the loop from top to bottom, tying a neat knot. That's all!

Its main purpose is all the variety of ties made from light fabrics. It’s worth considering that short ties are not suitable for a double knot, but long, thin ones are fine.

Place the tie around the neck so that the seam is on the inside. On the right side is the wide end of the tie, and on the left is the narrow end.

• So, we start by placing the thick end of the tie over the narrow one, then they need to be crossed (see how shown in the photo instructions). Now you need to wrap the thick part around the narrow part. Please note that the turn should be as complete as possible: in other words, the wide end of the tie should again point in the left direction.
• Next, we pull the thick part of the tie under the narrow part in the right direction.
• You see that it turned out to be an ear. Along its top, the wide end must again be returned to the left side.
• Again we take hold of the wide part of the tie. It must be passed through the neck loop.

The ability to tie a tie is like knowing Mandarin - there is no urgent need for this, but demonstrating this skill always turns out to be impressive. Helping your dad or husband get ready for a meeting, or helping your brother get ready for a friend's wedding - you never know when sleight of hand and how to tie a tie might come in handy. Even if your male environment does not favor you classic style, the ability to tie a tie may come in handy for you - the knots on fashionable thin scarves come specifically from men's fashion. ELLE has prepared a variety of patterns on how to tie a tie.

Quarter knot

The most popular and easiest way to tie a tie is a four or quarter tie. In some families, the skills of how to tie this knot are passed down from generation to generation, from father to son. With all the advantages of the ease of this technique, there is one small disadvantage - you definitely won’t be able to stand out from the crowd with such a knot. But in this case, you can always choose a tie with an interesting texture, pattern or color combination.

Windsor knot

This method and type of knot is named after the Duke of Windsor, who apparently preferred it to all others. In addition to being ideal for special occasions, this knot is also the most comfortable - it does not tighten the collar of the shirt, allowing you to freely loosen and remove it without untying it. The main thing you need to know about this method is that the tie for it must be 4 centimeters longer than the standard one, so that it can go down almost to the belt.

Half Windsor knot

Why do you need a Windsor knot when there is a half-Windsor knot? - British gentlemen often joke. The whole point is that the half-Windsor is not only simpler than its “big brother”, it also looks much more elegant - mainly due to the fact that it is asymmetrical and less voluminous. However, this knot is still formal, suitable for most types of collars and shirts and can be used on all types of ties.

Victorian knot

This knot is often called a "four" knot with an extra turn - simply because the end of the tie is wrapped around the knot four times and then tucked inside. The result is an asymmetrical and wide knot, but still simple enough to be used in Everyday life– it is ideal for office suits and shirts.

Knot "Oriental"

This knot is tied in just three steps, so it is considered one of the simplest. But here lies the main problem of this method - since the knot is not very tight, ties made of thin materials simply will not hold their shape and will hang on the collar. So for such a knot you need to specially select a tie made of dense material, for example, wool. Another catch is that this tie is easy to take off, but it comes out just as easily. Therefore, it is better not to forget about it and correct it during the day. Oriental is completely unsuitable for special occasions, but it will look harmonious in the office.

Diagonal knot

If you have already learned how to tie all the previous knots, you can safely move on to the diagonal one - this will require all the skill and sleight of hand. This knot consists of two layers, it is asymmetrical and, unlike many others, it cannot be easily removed - it must be untied. But a diagonal knot looks impressive and elegant - especially if you choose a deep-colored tie made of light fabric.

Kelvin knot

This knot bears the name of the inventor of the temperature school, mathematician and physicist Lord Calvin - and all because the scientist developed the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe structure of atoms from knots. Lord Calvin has nothing to do with the technique of the knot itself, although tying such a knot is not much easier than understanding his theories. Due to its oblong shape, this knot will look great on thin cotton or wool ties, but it is better to wear it not to the office, but to special events.

Knot "Baltus"

One of the widest knots, the Balthus knot was invented by the Swiss artist Balthasar Klossowski in the 1930s. The artist wore it in an eccentric way, leaving the wide end short and the narrow end long. It is not recommended to repeat this today, and it is better to tie such a knot on light silk ties. This method is ideal for short men - it hides the length of ties and evens out the proportions of the suit.

Cavendish knot

This knot is an interlacing of two quarter notes - it sounds difficult, but in practice it is quite easy to handle. It does not look solemn and is perfect for office everyday life - and it will be immediately noticeable that some effort was put into the image. It is better to tie such a knot on ties made of lightweight materials and combine them with a wide-spaced collar.

Onassis knot

It was invented, as you might guess from the name, by Aristotle Onassis, a Greek businessman and second husband of Jackie Kennedy. He modified the classic "quarter" by loosely wrapping the wide end of the tie rather than securing it. This knot looks very eccentric and suits men with the style of someone like Liberace. But at the same time it fits perfectly into women's fashion. Ties for such a knot should be chosen bright and with interesting prints, but made of light fabrics.

Prince Albert Knot

One of the most beautiful knots, the Prince Albert knot resembles the bud of an unopened flower. It is not so easy to create, but it is worth all the effort - the main thing is to form the final knot using back hinge. Since this knot requires a little more length than usual, it is suitable for short men.

Pratt knot

The most popular knot in America, it appears on almost all ties of local businessmen and politicians. It is unpretentious and is tied quite simply, the only thing you need to take into account is that it is tied with the seam facing out, and at the end the collar of the shirt hides this seam.

Nikki knot

Pratt's younger brother, the Nikki knot, by its origin, has nothing to do with America or Nicholas II (as you know, the Russian emperor was sometimes affectionately called “Cousin Nikki”). This knot was invented by the owner of a Milanese tie factory, Ernesto Kurami - he specially made it so that the tie would not fray and could last for a long time. For such a knot, it is better to use textured ties - a shape reminiscent of a pyramid will emphasize the beautiful texture of the fabric.

Cape knot

A very rare and beautiful knot that will immediately make you stand out from the crowd of “men in black” at any event. Due to the complex shape of the knot itself, it will look beautiful on ties with unobtrusive prints of deep colors. But under no circumstances should you do it on striped ties - this will create an insane visual effect that will give the tie owner’s interlocutors a headache.

Cross knot

Initially, this knot really resembled a cross, which is why it got its name. It can also be found under the name "Christensen" after the Swedish tie manufacturer Amanda Christensen. This knot looks most beautiful and elegant on thin ties and is suitable for thin men; on large ones it will look ridiculously small.

Eldridge knot

This knot challenges the standard knots of the business world - it is complex, braid-like and yet quite formal. For such a knot, you need to choose a tie that is not too short and not colorful, and combine it with the same neutral color scheme of the suit. This method of tying a tie is very new, so you can’t see it very often – which, of course, is a plus for anyone who wants to make an impression.

St. Andrew's Knot

A reason for pride - the author of this knot was a woman, artist Lisa Van Wijk. It comes from the Prince Albert knot, but is even wider and more elongated. It's better to tie it on light-colored ties - dark fabrics simply won't show all the hard work you've done. At the same time, stripes and ornaments on such a knot, on the contrary, work very well.

People are greeted by their clothes, as one famous proverb says, so a successful man must look brand new.

For reference! The tie appeared in a man’s wardrobe back in Ancient Egypt, that’s exactly what history says.
