  14. My twin sister (she’s a girl, I’m a guy) makes fun of me for not knowing how to tie my necktie! And my dad’s disappointed in me when we go to parties and special occassions (i.e. funeral, wedding, birthday, fundraiser) or to church on Sundays with my necktie unfixed!

  15. I know how to tie a necktie (crossover, wrap around, wrap around to the back, bring it up and over, down thru the previous wrap around) but I want to know how to do it with a big knot. Can someone tell me how?

  16. I have been wearing ties frequently because I’ve have a couple of weddings and sweet 16s to go to and my girlfriend has fixed my tie a lot because it was crooked. How do I make it stay in the middle?
    Do I tie it differently or what? I am 16 so I havn’t worn ties that many times.

  17. I have got no idea how to tie a necktie, not even my neighbour, no one. so if kids and teenagers in England keep wearing school uniforms and a tie, they know how to make a tie knot? cause as kids we were always playing adults but no one ever knew how to make a tie knot, so we did some regular knot.

  20. I’ve seen the fashionable way some men wear a white dress shirt and then have a necktie very loosely hanging around the neck. The knot would’ve been over their chest rather than up around the neck.

    What’s the best way to tie the necktie for this look?? And should I tuck in the white shirt or leave it out? By the way, this will be with jeans. I’m going for a stylish but very casual look for a party. Also, I’d be grateful for any other advice regarding this particular style.

    Thanks for the input!
