How to Tie a Tie

in

As a brofessional, there are times when wearing a tie is necessary. We will show you how to tie a Windsor Knot, which is the easiest knot to do. It's a wide, triangular knot that is appropriate for meetings, presentations, and job interviews, etc.
To tie a Windsor Tie, follow these steps:
1) To start, the wide end of the tie should be about 12 inches lower than the narrow end. Cross the wide end over the narrow end.
2) Take the wide end up through the loop between your collar and your tie, then back down.
3) Pull the wide end underneath the narrow end and to the right, back through the loop and to the right again so that the wide end is now inside out.
4) Bring the wide end across the front from right to left.
5) Pull the wide end up through the loop again.
6) Bring the wide end down through the knot in front.
7) Using both hands, tighten the knot carefully and draw it up to the collar.

This makes it...

...seem so easy. When I was a kid, trying to learn how to tie a tie was traumatizing. Glad I got it down. I gotta say, if you don't know this vital skill already, learn it. Then, practice like crazy till it's perfect.
