How to Tie a Tie: Double Windsor Knot (MIRRORED & SLOW FOR BEGINNERS) The Only Knot You Need to Know

5 жыл бұрын

When you think of a classic knot, most likely you’re thinking of the Double Windsor. This knot is best paired with dress shirts with a nice wide collar. If you have ties that are a bit longer than what you usually opt for, this is a perfect knot to try as it does require a little bit of length.
The Double Windsor is considered the most iconic knot for your favorite necktie. Named after the Duke of Windsor, who liked his knots wide with thick cloth, it is the most popular of the four major knots widely used by most people today.
Check out our latest video on KZfaq - Mynicetie.com’s Double Windsor Knot. The Double Windsor is one of our favorite knots to teach. It’s a quick and easy knot that is symmetrical, classic, and looks fantastic with a myriad of styles.

if you're looking for a hogwarts vibe the four in a hand OR Prince Albert knot is probably a better option. Double Windsor is alot more formal and if you look at the ties in Harry Potter most of the ties the student's have are four in a hand or Prince Albert and worn pretty loose around the collar with the top button undone. Of course its down to you at the end of the day, wear which knot you feel most comfortable in but if you're going for a more classic Hogwarts uniform vibe go for four in a hand or Prince Albert

Lol , atleast you had your dad to do it for you , although my dad and mum were divorced and I used to see him every weekend , he never taught me any stuff , the best memories of him was of us fishing , never did he ever show me how to polish my shoes or tie a tie or anything , I had to learn , I wish that he would teach me although I know how to already ಥ╭╮ಥ.

Just wanted to thank you. My dad left when I was 2 so I've been struggling with ties my whole life. Just now I spent an hour trying and failing while watching other videos until I finally made it to yours and nailed it on the first try. Well almost nailed it, might have to make it a bit shorter 😅 I can't even explain why I've been failing so far, my knot just always turned out a little weird. So what I was trying to say is that I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel like I've grown a little

In case you're wondering why I say left hand when it looks like my right, it is because this video is mirrored to make it easier to follow while facing the screen.

It is work from home and I'm the only one in the team that dresses up. We are in online trainer and so others are sitting on their bed and very casual. I think my dressing up makes a good first opinion and also influences my new bosses and trainers. I can tell they cut me some slack because of it. Thanks again. When you dress up even for yourself it changes things.
