To tie or not to tie?


"The necktie is one of the most important and most versatile accessories a man can wear. Whether dressing up or down there is a tie for every occasion"




 Let's face it: Ties can be terrifying. Indeed, for most guys, wearing a tie is about as cool as your 3rd grade teacher who sported patterns consisting of smiley faces and rainbows. Could the fear of ties have something  to do with the fact that most everyone has limited skills when it comes to dealing with ties?Even if you went to a private school growing up and wore a uniform/tie every day of your adolescent    life, you still probably only know how to tie one kind of knot or used a clip on,  And as for everybody  else, well, your dad probably showed you once and then left you to figure it out yourself


A reality of life is that ties are part of being a grownup, and if you're like many people, it's better late than never when it comes to learning how to tie a tie properly, because it's almost impossible to get through life without ever wearing one. Fortunately, tying knots are a relatively simple process once it's practiced. To save you from ruining an otherwise perfectly put-together ensemble, I guide you through four classic ways to knot a tie as well as the occasions for which each type of knot is acceptable. Who knows? By the time you're finished reading this post you may even feel confident enough to wear a tie just for the hell of it.



1. Windsor.  This type of knot is all-purpose, and is appropriate for business meetings, interviews and anywhere else you need to look respectable.


2.Half Windsor. This knot is the one to go for when you want the conservative look of a Windsor minus the effort.

3.Four-in-hand.  This is the go to knot and use it when you need to look good in a hurry or when you want to be fashionable and wear a tie with more more modern look.

4. Bow tie. This tie is the X-factor and can be used outside of formal occasions to enhance sophistication to any outfit.
