As we know, four necktie knots are in widespread use. They are the four-in-hand knot, the half-Windsor knot, the Windsor knot and the Pratt knot. The first three are classic necktie knots that have been used for a long time. The Pratt knot is a more recent necktie knot that was introduced to the public in 1989.
Below shows an explain of the four necktie knots, together with the dimple tie. It helps you find the answer to the first question that may come up in your mind -- Which necktie knots do I need? Click the links on the left to see the instructions on tying a certain knot.
The choice is yours:
Four-In-Hand Knot
One of the easiest ways to tie a necktie is using the Four-In-Hand knot. If tied correctly this knot will still have a professional appearance. In fact, most zipper ties and clip on ties use a knot that is similar to the Four-In-Hand knot.
Half Windsor Knot
This knot is usually used with uniform ties that are made of thick materials like polyester and wool, but will work good with most necktie materials. If the knot appears to be too large, you may want to use a Four-In-Hand knot with your necktie. The Half Windsor knot will make your necktie shorter, if you are tall you may try it.
Windsor Knot
The Windsor knot is a large knot that has a nice uniform shape to it. This knot is usually used with silk neckties or ties that are made of thin materials. If the knot appears to be too large you may want to use a Half Windsor or Four-In-Hand knot with your necktie. The Windsor knot will make your necktie shorter, if you are tall you may also want to try the Half Windsor or Four-in-Hand knot.
The Dimple In Your Tie
The dimple adds that finished look to the necktie. When you are done tying your tie, but before you have completely tightened the knot, hold your finger on the center of the necktie slightly inside the knot. Then you simply push on the middle of the tie and squeeze the edges as you tighten the knot. The dimple will work best with the Windsor and Half Windsor knots. If you are using a Four-In-Hand knot it will be tough to get a nice looking dimple.
