Tips

·       Look in a mirror while doing this.

·       Try exploring with different sizes to get the hang of it.

·       There are different types of knots you can tie, some of which are more appropriate to formal occasions (like the Windsor knot), while others are casual.

·       In general, the wide end of the tie should hang twice as low as the narrow end.

·       To make a dimple, hold the top blade on both edges and then pull it down gently until the top blade starts to tighten. A slight convex should appear close to the knot. Use your thumb and forefinger to press the bottom of the knot into a V-shape and the convex will deepen to form the dimple.
