Here’s a nice little diagram of how to tie a necktie. I guess you could call it….a tiagram
It makes it a lot easier to understand if you’re tying your tie while checking the diagram out, so go get your favorite tie and get to work!
As you can see, this is pretty much a 10 step diagram on how to tie a necktie:
Step 1: Pretty much just throwing the tie around you neck.
Step 2: Cross the wide part of the tie over the narrow.
Step 3: Put the wide part of the tie under the narrow, then bringing it over the opening to the front.
Step 4 and 5: Fold the wide part of the tie under the narrow part and tighten it.
Step 6 and 7: Throw the wide part through the opening on the other side.
Step 8 and 9: Take the wide part to the other side and bring it under and over the opening.
Step 10: Tighten until secure.
Enjoy!


- How should a good necktie looks like?
- There are many methods to tie a necktie, which one is the best?
I am looking for a book to give as a gift to my boyfriend that explains how to tie his tie various ways. Does anyone know of a good one??
Also a link with a how-to diagram would rule. I only know half-windsor knots.
At school everyone ties their neckties really short and fat. I really like the look but don’t know how to tie a fat knot. Anyone know how to do this?
I am really good a tying my ties. I have been doing it myself for about 8 years (and Im 16). But one thing that always screws me is the length of the tie. I am a little guy (5’3) so for me, my ties usually end up being below my belt buckle. These are the knots I know how to do, please tell me which one would be best for a shorter person to wear (or uses the most length)-
- Full windsor
- Pratt knot
- Italian knot (Prince Albert)
- English tie knot
I can never get the half windsor, but Im assuming that because there are fewer steps it doesnt use up as much length. I need to dress up on Sunday, and unlike a party I will actually be more visible, so I care more about the length. Thanks
My hubby is a pallbearer in a funeral tomorrow and neither of us know how to tie a necktie. I need to know by 12:00 noon (central time) tomorrow.
