How to tie a double windsor knot
- Drape the tie around your neck so the skinny end is at the 2nd or 3rd button. The wide end should be near your waist.
- Cross the wide end over the skinny end.
- Wrap the wide end around, and bring it up through the loop created by your neck.
- Bring the wide end around the back, and then around the front.
- Bring it up through your neck and tuck it under the loop created by the knot.
- Hold onto the skinny side as you feed it through.
- Adjust as needed to make the knot tight, clean, and bold.
- Slide the knot up to your neck.
- Make sure your collar is in proportion to the knot you tie. A double Windsor looks best with a bigger collar.
