How to Tie a Windsor Knot
A tie is an important accessory for both formal and informal occasions. The ability to tie a tie is an invaluable
skill to have, and it only takes 5 minutes to learn. The only materials needed are a tie and a collared shirt. Theseinstructions will allow you to create an enviable Windsor knot that you can flaunt at any occasion.
IMPORTANT: The pictures that accompany each step reflect what you will see in the
mirror when tying the tie.
Step 1:
Wrap the necktie around your collar (Fig.1) The wide end should be on the left and the narrow end on
the right. Make sure the wide end extends about 12 inches below
the narrow end. Both the narrow and wide ends of the tie should have the
front facing outward.
(Fig. 1)
Step 2:
Cross the wide end over the narrow end. (Fig. 2)
The cross should be within three inches of your throat.
Keep the knot as close to your throat as possible
throughout the tying process. The front of the tie should be facing outward.
(Fig. 2)
Step 3:
Pinch the crossed section between your thumb
and index finger. (Fig. 3)
This will hold the cross in place.
The front of the tie should be facing outward.

Step 4:
Bring the wide end under the crossed section and
up through the loop between the collar and the
tie. (Fig. 4) Perform this step with your free hand.
(Fig. 4)
Step 5:
Pull the wide end down toward the front. (Fig. 5)
The wide part of the tie should be facing outward.
If done correctly, the wide part of the tie should becovering the previously crossed section.
(Fig. 5)
Step 6:
Take narrow end in left hand and wide end in
right hand. (Fig. 6)
Make sure to always pull down on the narrow end. Thiskeeps the knot tight.
(Fig. 6)
Step 7:
Wrap the wide end behind the narrow end.(Fig. 7) Wrap from right to left.

Step 8:
Bring the wide end around the front of the knot
and over through the loop. (Fig. 8) Make sure the front of the wide end of the tie is facing
outward, as shown in the photo.
(Fig. 8)
Step 9:
Pull down the wide end through the loop. (Fig. 9) The wide end of the tie should be in the back and the
narrow end should be in the front. The wide end should have the backside facing outward.
(Fig. 9)
Step 10:
Loosely wrap the wide end across the front of the
knot. (Fig. 10) Wrap from left to right.
The wide end of the tie should be covering the Y-shaped
knot. The front of the wide end of the tie should be facing
outward.
(Fig. 10)
Step 11:
Bring the wide end up underneath the loop and
through to the front. (Fig. 11)

Step 12:
Tuck the wide end through the loose loop.
(Fig. 12) The loose loop refers to the loop across the front of the
knot that was made in step 10.
Keep the front side of the wide end of the loop facingforward as you tuck it through.
(Fig. 12)
Step 13:
Pull the wide end all the way down. (Fig. 13) Pulling carefully on the wide end will help tighten the
knot.
The front of the wide end should be facing outward.
(Fig. 13
Step 14:
Pull down on the narrow end to draw up the knot
to your collar. (Fig. 14) The narrow end of the collar should be hidden behind the
wide end. Be careful not to pull the narrow end down past the wide
end.
(Fig. 14
Feedback:
The narrow end should be shorter than the wideend. (Fig. 15) If both ends don’t meet, untie the tie and start over. If the narrow end is too long, try starting with the wide
end extending more than 12 inches below the narrow end. Make sure the collar falls nicely over the tie Center the knot as best you can.
