How to Tie a Tie step by step guide

1. Drape the tie around your neck
   • Put the wide end on your right side and the narrow end on your left.
   • The wide end should hang lower than the narrow end.
2. Cross the wide end over the narrow end
   • Make an “X” just below your collar.
3. Wrap the wide end behind the narrow end
   • Bring it around to the front again.
4. Bring the wide end across the front
   • You’ll see the start of the knot forming.
5. Pull the wide end up through the neck loop
   • Bring it from underneath, up behind the knot.
6. Tuck the wide end down through the front loop
   • Slide it through the loop you just created in front.
7. Tighten the knot gently
   • Hold the narrow end and slide the knot upward toward your collar.
8. Adjust it neatly
   • Center the knot and flatten it so it sits nicely.

Quick tips

• The tip of the wide end should ideally reach your belt buckle.
• If it’s too short or too long, start again with the wide end positioned higher or lower.
• A small dimple just under the knot can make it look sharper.
