You never know when the next occasion will be calling for the formal sophistication of a tie or a bow tie. Whether it is a business meeting or a wedding reception, the knowledge of tying the proper knot is a skill that allows the satisfaction of not having to settle for clip-on props.
The Bow Tie
The appropriate width of the bow should never be wider than the widest part of the neck, while the height should never be over the tips of the shirt’s collar.
While standing in front of a mirror, the tie should be hang around the neck, over the chest, and the right end of the tie should hang at least two inches lower than the left end.
Next, the longer right end must cross over the left shorter end.
While carefully ensuring that the left, shorter end stays in position, the right, longer end should should be brought up in a loop from behind the right, longer end.
The right, longer end should be then doubled over itself to form the front base loop of the bow tie.
The left end of the tie should then be looped over the center of the loop formed by the right end.
While holding everything in place, the left end should be doubled onto itself and poked through the loop behind the bow tie.
Finally, the bow tie must be adjusted by the ends and the center of the knot centered.
The Tie
While standing in front of a mirror, start with he wide end of the neck tie on the right and extend it about 12 inches below the thinner end.
The wider end of the tie should be crossed over the narrow end, then must go through the loop between the collar and the tie. The wide end must be brought back down.
The wide end must be then pulled underneath the narrow end and to the right, back through the loop and to the right again so that the wide end is inside out.
The wide end must go across the front from right to left, then pulled up through the loop again.
At this point the wide end must brought down through the knot in front and — using both hands — the knot must be tightened carefully and drawn up to the collar.
