The Art Of Tying The Ties - When tying a necktie you want to pay attention to the material of the necktie you are wearing. Use the Double Windsor for thin materials such as silk, and with wider neckties.

The Windsor Knot!
The Windsor Knot is a thick, wide and triangular tie knot that projects confidence. It would therefore be your knot of choice for presentations, job interviews, courtroom appearances etc. It is best suited for spread collar shirts and it's actually quite easy to do.
While just about everyone can use this tie knot to tie his tie, it looks especially well on men with longer necks as its wide form shortens the perceived height of the neck a little bit.
Start your windsor knot with the wide end of the tie on your right and extending a foot below narrow end.
The Half-Windsor Knot
A Four-In-Hand-Knot
Start with end in left hand, extending 1.5 inch below that in right hand.Cross longer end over shorter and pass up through loop.
The Bow TieOne can find traces of bow ties in the world literature like for instance Balzac, who thought the bow tie had not only a function as fashionable accessory but was also an important factor for the health status of the owner. Frank Sinatra popularized the bow tie during the 40ies and 50ies. Today if one reads about the bow tie in books on how to dress one can find that a person in a bow tie has the air of not being trustworthy or even of being a thief. The only positive aspect of wearing a bow is that bow ties are able to smooth the image of a person who seems to be otherwise a tough guy.
A good knot should always have a dimple. The dimple is the little indentation right below the knot of your tie. A good dimple is made before you tighten the knot. You start by putting your index finger in the fabric directly under the knot while lightly squeezing the side of the fabric as you tighten the knot by pulling down on the wide end of the tie. The dimple should be centered in the middle of your knot.
