Edit Steps
Traditional Windsor knot
- The Duke of Windsor started the trend for this knot back in the 1930s. It has remained popular to this day because it projects a statement that suggests the wearer is elegant and has confidence. It's more commonly used than the four-in-hand knot. This knot should be worn with a spread collar.[1]
- Put the tie around your neck. One end should be considerably wider than the other. Make sure the wider end is on the right, and about a foot (30cm) lower than the thinner side on the left.
- Cross the wide end over the narrow end, creating somewhat of an uneven "X" with the thinner side on the bottom and the wider side on top.
- Bring the tie through the loop. The top "V" from the "X" you created and the collar of your shirt should make a loop. Cross the wide end of your tie under the thin end and through the loop.
- Bring the wide end back down to where it was before you looped it through the upper "V".
- Pull the wide end underneath the narrow end and to the right, back through the "V" loop and to the right again so that the wide end is inside out.
- Cross the wide end over the thin end again, crossing to the right.
- Repeat step three.
- There should be somewhat of a loose knot wrapped around the thinner end now. Take the wider end that you just pulled through the loop and put it through the loose knot.
- Carefully and using both hands, tighten the knot until it is resting a small distance below the collar; about an inch (2.5cm).
- For a more modern, fashionable and casual look, make the knot a good few inches or centimeters down below the collar. For all formal occasions, however, keep the knot at the traditional distance away from the collar.
Four-in-hand Windsor knot
- Stand in front of the mirror. Your collar should be up, your shirt buttoned all the way to the top, and the tie around your neck. The thick end of the tie should be on the side of your dominant hand. So if you're right-handed, the wider end should be hanging on your right side.
- Look for a seam on the front of the narrow end of the tie.
- Move the thick end over the narrow end so they cross each other on the seam.
- Pull the thick end behind the narrow end, bring it around, and lay it over the narrow end again.
- Repeat. Wrap the thick end around the narrow end once more, just as described in the previous step.
- Pull the thick end of the tie all the way through the loop around your neck.
- Pull the thick end down through the knot.
- Tighten the knot by sliding it up the narrow end. Make sure your tie is straight and the length is appropriate.
Half knot Windsor
- An alternative to the four-in-hand method of tying a tie is the half-Windsor. The knot is bigger, resembles a triangle, and is considered to be more distinguished than the four-in-hand (but not as distinguished as the full Windsor). Most men tend to prefer the half Windsor because it isn't as bulky to wear.[2]
- Place the tie around your neck with the wide side on the left side of your body. Adjust the tie so that the length of the wide side is about three times the length of the narrow side.
- You may need to experiment with this step to achieve the right length for the sides of the ties.
- Take the wide side of the tie around the narrow side. In other words, place the wide side over the narrow side (crossing the narrow side), then take it around and under the narrow side, creating a loop around your neck.
- Take the wide side through the loop from above.
- Take the wide side around the "unfinished knot" and through the loop around your neck from underneath. This will create a loop around the "knot".
- Slide the wide side through the loop that formed around the knot and, while pinching the bottom of the knot, pull the wide side down to tighten and shape the knot into a triangle.
- Tighten the tie around your collar by pulling on the narrow side of the tie (which should now be hidden underneath the wide side of the tie). If your tie has a loop underneath the wide side of the tie, you may slide the narrow side through that loop to prevent it from "peeking" from behind the wide side of the tie.

Edit Tips
- Make a mnemonic device to help you remember, such as the word Ouat, which is an acronym for over, under, around and through.
- To make a dimple, hold the top blade on both edges and then pull it down gently until the top blade starts to tighten. A slight convex should appear close to the knot. Use your thumb and forefinger to press the bottom of the knot into a V-shape and the convex will deepen to form the dimple.
- In general, the wide end of the tie should hang twice as low as the narrow end.
- There are different type of knots you can tie, some of which are more appropriate to formal occasions (like the Windsor knot), while others are casual.
- Try exploring with different sizes to get the hang of it.
Edit Warnings
- Do not let anybody pull the large bit of the tie after it has been prepared. This is called amongst other names a "tie wedgie" or a "peanut" at schools that require ties. It makes the tie very difficult to take off.
- Remember to button up your top button - you will look daft if you don't.
- Also remember to reverse the instructions to untie the tie, rather than pulling the thin end through to avoid stretching and prematurely wearing out your tie.
