[Updated with a How to Tie a Necktie VIDEO! Scroll down to watch!] New Years Eve is coming up! That means dinner, parties, shows, and parties. How sharp will you be this New Years? For those that need some assistance I want to help you learn how to tie a tie so you can dress to impress.
What type of tie will you be wearing? You can find some instructions at ScountDB.org for the following neckties:
The Windsor Knot
The Half-Windsor Knot
The Four-In-Hand Knot
The Bow Tie
The following was taken from eHow.com
1. Lift up the collar of your shirt and put the tie around the back of your neck. The wide end should hang down about twice as low as the thin end; it can hang closer to your right or left hand, depending on what’s most comfortable for you.
2. Wrap the wide end around the thin end twice, a few inches below your neck. The wide end should go over the thin end at first. (Images 1 to 3)
3. After wrapping the wide end around the second time, push it through the back of the V-shape made by the partially formed knot. (Image 4)
4. Tuck the wide end through the front loop of the knot.
5. Gently pull down on both the thin and wide ends below the knot until the knot is tight.
6. Hold the thin end and slide the knot up to your neck. (Image 5)
7. If the thin end hangs below the wide end, untie the tie and begin again, with the wide end hanging lower than it did the first time.
8. If the wide end hangs too low, untie the tie and begin again, with the wide end hanging higher than it did the first time.
9. Flip your collar back down once you and your tie look dapper. (Image 6)
