Tie a Double Windsor
Are you tired of tying your tie the same way every morning? Make an attempt at a double Windsor if you want to try something different.
A double Windsor can take a little longer than a Windsor or half Windsor, but the result is usually a much more balanced knot.
Instructions
1. Lift up the collar of your shirt. Place the tie around the back of your neck so that the wide end hangs down on the side of your dominant hand, a little more than twice as low as the thin end.
2. Cross the wide end once over the front of the thin end and then around the back of the thin end a few inches below your neck.
3. Slip the wide end through the back of the V-shape made by the knot, pulling it out the front of the V-shape toward your nondominant hand.
4. Wrap the wide end around the knot on the nondominant side. Continue to wrap the wide end around to the front of the knot on the dominant hand side.
5. Slip the wide end through the front of the V-shape made by the knot, pulling it out the back of the V-shape toward your dominant hand.
6. Wrap the wide end around the knot.
7. Pull the wide end through the back of the V-shape formed by the knot.
8. Tuck the wide end down through the front loop of the knot.
9. Pull down gently on the wide end from below the knot until the knot is tight.
10. Grasp the thin end with your non-dominant hand and slid the knot up to your neck.
11. Flip your collar down, button up and you're ready to go!
