Learn how to tie a tie with ease by standing in front of a mirror, picking up your collar, and placing the tie around your neck. Pull the thicker end through the loop around your neck and experiment with different knots.
Tying a tie can be a messy proposition if you’re not sure what you’re doing. Fortunately, it’s easy to learn how to tie a tie on your own. With a little patience, your tie can end up looking neat and professional, without much fuss. To start, stand in front of a mirror with your tie in hand and the shirt you’re wearing buttoned on top. Then, pick up your collar and place the tie around your neck.
Take the thicker end of the tie with your right hand if you are right-handed; If you are left handed, use your left hand. Next, locate the seam at the front of the narrowest part of your tie. Alternatively, you can start with the narrower end hanging about a foot (30.5 centimeters) below the thicker end. To tie a tie, you need to take the thicker end and move it over the narrower end. The ends should cross each other at the seam at the front of the tie.
The next step in tying a tie is to pull the thicker end so that it is behind the narrower end and then rests on the narrower end of the tie. Repeat this step one more time, and then pull the thicker end through the loop around your neck. Follow up by pulling the thicker end through the knot. Finish by sliding the knot up the narrower end of the tie, straightening it out as you go.
Once you’ve learned how to tie a tie with this basic method, you can continue to experiment with different types of knots; There are different knots for formal occasions and others that are considered appropriate for more casual events. You can even tie a tie with a dimple. To do this, tie a tie as usual, but slide your finger under the knot before you begin to tighten it, squeezing its sides a bit. Stick out your finger and tighten the bottom of the knot; this makes a small dimple directly below the knot. You’ll need to finish tying the knot after this, but be careful not to mess up your dimple; Carefully hold the narrow end of the tie and slide the knot up. To finish, gently fluff the fabric on both sides of the dimple.
