It can be said that ties are the most familiar accessory for gentlemen, especially in Sartorial style. Just like the art of tying scarves for women, the use, coordination, and tying of ties also need to be carefully selected and practiced to bring the most perfect appearance to their owner. Choosing the right tie and tie style for each outfit will help make your look more sophisticated. In this article, let's take a look at 07 ways to tie a tie like a gentleman!
1. Four in Hand Knot
Is the first tie style that fathers will teach their sons on their "journey" to becoming a gentleman. Four in Hand Knot is suitable for narrow collars, has a simple way of tying and is suitable for many events and situations. However, due to the small knot and slightly asymmetrical knot shape, this knot style will be quite picky for occasions that require solemnity. Therefore, gentlemen often use Four in Hand Knot for parties that are youthful, modern, and comfortable.
Tutorial:
Step 1: First, open your collar, hold the tie in your hand and place the wide side of the tie on the right side, while the narrower (smaller) side is on the left and placed high. more than about 30cm.
Step 2: Hold the wide end of the tie over the left side of the narrow end, holding the two ends of the tie together with your left hand, near your neck.
Step 3: Use your right hand to hold the end of the wide plate, slide it behind the narrow plate and pull it to the side.
Step 4: Continue going up again right where your left hand is holding the two copies (the front of the tie is still facing forward and the seams are hidden at the back).
Step 5: Right hand still holds the end of the wide plate and pulls up the back of the two plates at the neck.
Step 6: Bring the wide end down through the gap in the knot.
Step 7: Hold the narrow end of the plate and push the knot upward until close to the neck. Adjust the knot evenly and tightly, close the collar down, and adjust the length of the tie accordingly. Ideally, the wide end should fit close to your waist.
2. Pratt

With this way of tying, you can freely combine it with your favorite suit and go to any party, whether intimate or formal. The Pratt Knot has a triangular design, the knot is a bit looser than the Windsor, and is easy to untie. The Pratt Knot is most perfect when using a medium-thick and large tie. When tied, the "filler" will have a width between the Four in Hand Knot and the Half Windsor Knot.
Tutorial:
