HOW TO TIE A
WINDSOR KNOT

Got an important meeting, an interview or a special occasion to go to? You need to look your best, and that calls for the Windsor knot: a thicker, wider tie knot that spreads out within a shirt collar. Ready to try it for yourself? Follow these four simple steps or watch our video.

STEP 1 - CROSS THE ENDS


Pop the tie around your neck and begin with the wide end on the right, around 14 inches below the narrow end on the left. Now cross the wide end over the narrow end.

STEP 2 - THROUGH THE LOOP


Bring the wide end up in between the loop created in the space between your collar and tie, then pass the wide end back down.

STEP 3 - THE CROSSOVER


Bring the wide end underneath the narrow end. This should make the underside of the tie’s wide end visible facing upwards.

STEP 4 - PULL & TIGHTEN


Pull the wide end up and through the loop, then pull down on the wide end to tighten the knot carefully with both hands. Arrange neatly under a freshly-ironed shirt collar.
