It turns out that a tie can be knitted in countless ways. And not all will be alike. Size, shape and symmetry can vary significantly from node to node. Wide ties often require the use of small knots, such as Four-in-hand or Simple(simple) knot. Thin ties tend to work well with large knots such as Pratt or Windsor... Each node has a special character. Prince albert walks with exquisite elegance. Kelvin challenges. Murrell grins like a Cheshire cat. Van Wijk twisted like a flower bud. Nodes Eldredge and Trinity the tie is folded with fancy origami. Each node serves its master in a different way. Experiment. Find your crown knot.

Visual comparison of nodes

Let's take a look at some of the tie knots to see how they differ from each other.

To make it clear, we use ties of the same material, thickness and width. In this way, you can evaluate the unique characteristics of each node and see the difference between them.

The smallest of the knots is the Simple Knot, also known as the East Knot. The largest knot is the Balthus, and the longer your tie, the larger the knot you can tie. Windsor is a near perfect triangle. Four-in-Hand is noticeably narrower. Prince Albert peeps out from under the second girth. Some knots, such as the Kelvin and Four-in-Hand, are noticeably asymmetrical on one side. Trinity has a rounded silhouette, while Van Wijk, on the other hand, is cylindrical and the longest of the knots.

Tie a tie

1. Simple node

also known as Vostochny. A simple knot contains the fewest possible steps and is very easily recognizable. Despite its simplicity, this knot is rarely worn in the West, but remains popular in China. The millet knot is tied, but not easily untied. This knot is suitable for wide ties, and for tall guys - less length goes into a knot, and the tie does not look cut off.

2. Four-in-Hand

named back in the 19th century in honor of the Gentlemen of the club of the same name "Four-in-Hand". This is the reigning champion of tie knots. Its popularity is due to its simplicity and versatility. Easy to tie. Slim, tapered, gently asymmetrical shape. Easy to untie.

3. Prince Albert

The knot is a variation of the Victoria knot. There is no evidence that the knot was actually worn by its namesake, Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria.
In the node, the active end is passed through two turns. The first whorl should stick out at the bottom of the knot. This is a slightly asymmetrical knot that needs to be taut. Slim and sleek.

4. Kelvin

bears the name of Lord Kelvin (William Thomson, 1824-1907) - mathematics and physics. Like a simple knot, the Kelvin is tied from the inside out. It is a flexible and tidy knot, similar in size to the Four-in-Hand, but slightly fuller and more angular.

5. Half Windsor

half of Windsor. Although closer to three-quarters the size of the Windsor than half of it. An extremely versatile knot. Medium in size, almost symmetrical when tied correctly. Best used on ties of medium thickness.

6. Pratt

Jerry Pratt, the inventor of the Pratt knot, worked for the US Chamber of Commerce. For many years, D. Pratt tied his tie with a knot of his own invention, but this knot gained wide popularity when TV presenter Don Shelby began to appear on TV screens in ties tied in this way.
The Pratt knot is versatile, elegant, mid-sized between Four-in-Hand and Half Windsor.

7. Windsor

received the name of the Duke of Windsor, although the wide triangle is actually obtained thanks to the Four-in-Hand knot and the additional tying and density of the tie fabric. Windsor was invented as a way of imitating the duke's style. There are several Windsor derivatives, all with the same name.
Windsor features a symmetrical and durable triangular shape. Fits well under a wide collar.

8. Eldredge

an unusual, complex and attractive knot that includes 15 separate steps. It was invented by Jeffrey Eldridge in 2007 and gained notoriety in 2008. Unlike the overwhelming majority of nodes, in Eldredge, the active working tail is a thin one. Once completed, the small end is hidden behind the shirt collar. The knot is large (larger than the Windsor) and creates a tapered fish tail or the braid effect.

9. Trinity

just like Eldredge is a relatively recent innovation. Bears resemblance to the Celtic Triquetra. The main working tail is thin. The knot is tied loosely at first, and pulled tight at the very end. Trinity is rounded, slightly larger than the Windsor knot and visually very original.

10. Murrell

coined by Brent Murrell in 1995, an opposition to the classic Windsor. When finished, the thin ponytail of the tie rests on the front of the wide ponytail, creating a layered look. The Murrell knot is triangular, small but wide. A unique and quite cute knot.

11. Van Wijk

The incredibly tall and cylindrical knot was designed by artist Lisa van Wijk. This is an enlarged copy of Prince Albert, with the addition of a third whorl of the active tail. When tied correctly, it is a long and narrow knot. Creates a striking and unique spiral shape.

12. Balthus

invented around 1930 by the artist Balthus (Balthasar Klossowski). This is the largest node (significantly larger than Windsor). When done properly, the knot is wide and tapered. Because of a large number wraps, the tie will be very short.

The knot is rather complicated, designed for narrow ties made of fine fabrics. He will hide all the shortcomings of a thick neck in a man.

Eldridge

"Eldridge" - a knot, of course, non-standard, but quite spectacular. It is unlikely that you will be able to tie it on the first try. This invention from Jeffrey Eldridge is only ten years old. But for this short term he gained both popularity and his admirers. There are not very many knots, which are tied when the wide edge is on the right and short, and on the left - long and narrow. Eldridge schematic:

American

"American" or "Pratt" - the knot that will never untie itself, the creation of which was announced by two Americans. The only difference is that when John Shelby talked about how to tie it (1989) on a local TV channel, Jersey Pratt had been tying his tie for thirty years. American scheme and photo:

Trinity

Trinity is the original three-piece knot. It is one of the few that is knotted when the wide edge of the tie worn around the neck (right) is shorter than the narrow one (left). Its peculiarity is that it is customary to remove the end under the shirt collar, and not under the wide part of the tie. Trinity diagram:

Diagonal

"Diagonal" or "Diagonal" is an elegant knot, but complex and unusual even for a specialist. It looks great on cashmere and silk ties in light shades. And for the first time they described it in the "Book of Ties", 1985 and by the authors D. Mosconi and R. Villaros. Diagonal diagram and photo:

Your ability to tie a tie perfectly can be invalidated if you don't know how to properly care for it.

• a tie with a pattern - a one-color jacket and shirt;
• a light plain jacket - a mid-tone shirt, and a dark tie;
• jacket and tie with the same pattern - plain shirt;

Why women are interested in this

Today, no one is surprised that the beautiful half of humanity is asking the question of how to tie a tie beautifully. It's not about trying to help your men, although this is also the case.

Although this accessory is considered masculine, the girls have long chosen it as their own. Ties are boldly worn in the office for work or for a party. He served as an adornment for Madame de La Vallière even as neckerchief at the court of Louis.

Formal ties have been in women's fashion since the First World War. They were seen on Georges Sand, Marlene Dietrich loved them, and many fashionistas took up the baton. Among them, ladies, business and free, as well as delicate and feminine natures.

If such wisdom as tying knots on ties turned out to be beyond your strength, review the video and photo instructions step by step, tie a tie on it, and then remove it over your head, having previously loosened the knot. Now, if necessary, put it over your head, just do not untie it.

Not sure how to tie a tie? You don't have to bother too much if you don't wear it, although ... such a skill will never be superfluous. Read, watch and experiment.

The ability to tie a tie correctly is the basis of modern business etiquette. And although not all gentlemen wear this accessory, they are obliged to wear it correctly. More than 80 types of nodes are allocated, but the most basic ones will be enough for you. It's much easier than it might seem - experiment with different options and choose the one that seems most convenient to you.

A tie is the basis of a business wardrobe; it harmoniously complements everyday ensembles. It is tied around the neck (or more precisely, the collar of the shirt), it can be thick, thin, have different colours, length, go with or without a pattern, be strict, just beautiful or even playful.

You need to choose a tie according to the style of clothing, so that it fits harmoniously into the existing wardrobe. Pay special attention to the appropriateness of the design, color, texture of the shirt, jacket, trousers. There are simple, there are quite complex nodes - the first ones are easy to make from the photo the first time, the second will have to be practiced. It is impossible to say unequivocally how best to tie an accessory, since everyone likes their options.

A tie is an obligatory component of a business man's suit; it dilutes well everyday ensembles of clothing. If worn wisely, you can highlight the virtues of your appearance and successfully hide flaws.

How to tie a tie properly depends on the type of tie and the desired result. The easiest way is to focus on the photo and video guides, and it is clearer for someone to watch detailed instructions with pictures, and someone - a visual video.

For thin tall men, accessories with horizontal patterns are best suited, stocky, short - with monochromatic or vertical patterns.

If a man is tall and large, in no case should he wear a thin narrow tie, since such a model will additionally distort the proportions, but a wide strip with a vertical pattern or geometry is ideal. Small patterns, variegation, bright shades distract attention from the tummy.

If you like suits, striped shirts, cages, you can safely purchase a tie with a similar pattern. The main thing is that the sizes of the cells or stripes should not be the same, otherwise they will "merge" and begin to ripple in the eyes.

The shades of the shirt and tie are chosen the same, or the game is played on contrasts. By the way, narrow models are not suitable not only for overweight men, but also for gentlemen of the age.

Before talking about how to tie a tie, we emphasize that knots are very different, some are universal, others are suitable only for certain accessories. Each node is individual, and it can acquire a special sound from you. We offer to compare different variants- popular schemes are usually simple or trendy, but not the fact that they will suit you.

The most commonly worn accessories are 8.25-9.5 cm wide, but this does not mean that you cannot choose another option. Young people tend to experiment and often rely on a mini-tie up to 6.35 cm wide.

Bright colors, unusual patterns set accents, attract attention, restrained solutions simply harmoniously complement the overall ensemble.

How to tie a tie step by step, we will tell you in the following detailed description... Some nodes exist only in their pure form, others may have certain variations. Strictly follow the rules for tying, and if something does not work out, carefully look at the step-by-step instructions and start all over again.

"Quarter"

The most popular type of knot, previously the skills of tying it were passed from father to son from one generation to the next. The technique is simple to perform, boring and uninteresting - with it you will not stand out from the crowd, although you can achieve balance through unusual colors or bright patterns.

Throw the product, wide end over left side, narrow on the right, and higher, the wide part is placed on the narrow one. Now tuck the larger part under the smaller one to the left and below, wrap the narrow one, pass the larger one through the loop.

The knot is named in honor of the Duke of Windsor himself, who probably loved to tie a tie in this way. It is comfortable to wear as it does not tighten the neck, ideal for celebrations. You can tie the Windsor again each time, or loosen it gently and remove it through the neck.

The ends when thrown over lie, as in the case of a four, and the seams look inward. Stretch the narrow end around the waist, the main work is done with the larger part.

The knot is not very voluminous, asymmetrical and looks more refined than the usual Windsor. It fits all shirts. Proceed as in the case of the Windsor, but when you do in front of the knot, move the wide tip from left to right, pull it towards the neck and thread it under the collar, pull the knot down, you do not need to pull too much.

This knot is a more complex kind of "four". The end of the accessory is first wrapped around the knot four times and then tucked in. The result is a wide, asymmetrical knot that is interesting, concise and versatile.

The tie is done in three steps, therefore, it belongs to the simple ones. Products made of thin materials do not hold this shape well - consider this moment. Removing a tie is easy, but it can come loose just as quickly, so tweak it from time to time. The tie is thrown with the seams outward, then the wide part turns "face". There is only one cross step.

A very nice knot that is formed by a back loop. Ideal for short men.

"Albert" refers to a variation on "Victoria". The tie is thrown with seams inward, the wide tip should go to the right, the narrow one stretches over the navel. A crosshair is made, the narrow part turns wide to the right.

The double oblong knot looks nice on woolen and cotton ties, a festive option. The product is thrown around the neck with seams outward. A crosshair is formed, the narrow part turns towards the right, the front part of the knot is formed, the wide part is pulled up to the neck, and is threaded under the collar.

The most popular knot in the United States. It is done quickly, the seams look outward. Start working according to the standard scheme, then pass the wide part over the collar, wrap it up, pull it out from the left side, pull the larger part again, pass the working side through the “front” loop, tighten.

A wide "free" knot, the history of which is about 100 years old. His car is the artist Balthasar Klossowski, who made the tie quite eccentrically, leaving the narrow part long and the wide one short.

Make a crosshair, then pull the narrow one to the neck, thread over the collar, pull the wide part behind the collar to the right, pull the narrow one to the neck, tuck it behind the collar and pull to the left. Wrap the narrow tip from right to left so that you get the front of the knot.

A complex knot that somewhat resembles a braid, but it still looks quite formal. Take a tie, not colorful, standard length. When the front of the tie is ready (the pattern is standard), pull the wide end through the collar, then the loop on the face of the knot, pull the tip to the left and tighten a little. It is the narrow end that is stretched, its remainder at the end fits into the collar.

It is made crosswise, comes out wide, to work optimally with light fabrics. In terms of style, it is versatile. Cross the ends outward, make sure that the narrow one lies on the wide and looks to the left, the wide one is laid to the right, wrap the narrow end with the wide one. Pass the wider section through the loop on the neck and into the eyelet.

The diagonal is tied from the front of the tie, the narrow end is bypassed from the bottom, the wide one is retracted to the right, wrapped around the narrow end, and pulled into a loop around the neck to the left. Through the eyelet, you will need to stretch the wide part from top to bottom.

Visually, this type of knitting resembles a cross, it is tied around the neck "face", the ends are crossed, the wide one is held under the narrow one to the left, then to the left downward from the inside, to the right downward from the outside. At the end, the wide part is stretched to the right under the narrow one, then to the left and applied over it.

"Murell" is a large two-layer knot of a geometric shape. You cannot take it off - you can only untie it. When the crosshair is ready, place the narrow part over the wide one, stretch it towards the neck, wrap the collar, and then the narrow end around the wide one. The narrow end must be pulled up, thrown over the gate, and the narrow end must be led down to the right.
