3 Most Popular Knots: Four-In-Hand, Windsor, & Half-Windsor
Four-in-hand: Most widely used tie knot because it’s so simple to tie. Has a nice slender, tapered look -- slightly assymetrical.
Windsor: Delivers a wide, symmetrical knot that’s good for formal or special occasions.
Half Windsor: Similar to Full Windsor but less bulky, & easier to tie. Leaves an elegant, symmetrical triangle knot, & a deep & distinctive dimple. Works well with a classic or standard collar.

- Bring the wide end around and behind the narrow end.
- Bring the wide end up and pull it down through the hole between your collar and tie.
- Bring the wide end around the front, over the narrow end from right to left.
- Bring the wide end up back through the loop again.
- Pull the wide end down through the knot in front.
- Tighten the necktie knot and center it with both hands.
