Dress Etiquette Vol. 1
The Double Windsor
I have a problem with todays average man. How do you make it to college or even to the corporate world without knowing how to make a windsor knot? There are two types of windsor knots, the double and the single. The single windsor is the most basic knot and doesn't really have style to it at all. So I will focus mainly on the double windsor. A well-tied double windsor can catch a females eye in any setting, go just right with your suit at work, or be an acessory to a dress shirt and cardigan.
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.
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!
