How To Tie A Tie: 7 Popular Ways

3. How to Tie a Four-in-Hand Knot

The Four-in-Hand knot should be the only one you learn.

Then why?

The Four-in-Hand knot is more fascinating since it is asymmetrical and has a narrow shape. The majority of shirt collar styles work nicely with it, and it is really easy to tie. The lone exception is a collar with a wide cut. In that situation, stick to larger knots that cover the collar.

Because the Four-in-Hand knot only uses a little portion of the tie, it is also well-liked by guys who have trouble with necktie length or ties that are too short for them (tall men, lengthy torsos, big bellies).

1. Lay the wide end on your left and narrow end on your right.
2. Cross left over right.
3. Bring the wide end under and back to the left.
4. Take the wide end back over once more.
5. Pull the wide end up through neck loop.
6. Bring it down through front loop.
7. Tighten the knot and adjust the dimple.
