How To Tie A Tie: The Windsor Knot & The Four-in-Hand Knot

How To Tie A Tie
Alright guys first things first I apologize for saying four hand knot instead of "four IN hand knot" every since I was a kid I left out the in. Anyway.....
The Windsor Knot
Today we're walking through exactly how to tie a tie specifically the Windsor knot and the FOUR IN HAND knot. These two different knots will have you covered for virtually every social situation you're ever in.
The Windsor knot is a more formal knot appropriate for work, weddings, job interviews you name it. It's also a more bulky knot and not something I generally advise with knit ties. A ticker fabric makes this knot very unreasonable.
The Four-in-Hand Knot
The Four-in-Hand knot is a more casual knot very suitable for a date or a night out at a bar. If you're wearing something like jeans and a button up and you want to add a splash of color or a contrasting pattern with a tie keep it casual with the Four-in-hand knot.

I’m getting married tomorrow Kel and you really helped me not only tie my tie but this is my first time ever doing it. I Appreciate you bro fr

[@KTKrup]

jovon powell Wow man this is one of the best comments I’ve ever had on my videos. Congratulations to you I’m incredibly happy to have helped in any small way. Wishing you a very happy marriage my friend!

[@EuriEuropa]

I hope it went well!

[@corzomalo]

Are you still married? Well, the secret is on the knot man…

[@abdurrahmanmelendez1212]

What is better outfit? Ribbon necktie or neck tie?

[@abalabal6417]

still in married bruh? hee

[@theedgeofoblivious]

My sister got married like 15 years ago, and I had no idea how to tie a tie. My brother-in-law tied a four-in-hand knot for me when I attended their wedding. I kept the tie tied like that, and just put it over my head and reused it every time I needed to wear a tie. That knot was tied longer than their marriage lasted. But recently, I realized that it was looking pretty rough. My neck wasn't the same width, and I knew I needed to untie the knot and do it again. Well, tonight I decided to do exactly that. I untied the knot, and then I tried watching two other videos to tie the tie. I could not follow them all of the way through. I followed your video, and I tied a Windsor knot, and then I untied the knot and tied it again. It looks really great! The Windsor looks much more professional, too! Thank you so much!

[@jacobjacobjacob0]

Used this video 3 times since its release because I forget every time I break out my tie. 10/10

[@kingreece1275]

My 7 year old son really wanted to be Harry Potter for Halloween and he needed his tie tied. I have never tied a tie and hubby is at work and the school party is tomorrow!!!! I tried a couple of other videos and just wasn't getting it. Your video worked for me! Three attempts and I perfectly tied a Windsor knot ever and one extremely happy/proud boy that wants to be a gentleman and learn to tie a tie with your video (Windsor is his favourite) thank you I really appreciate this video. Very proud mommy moment and core memory with my little wizard/gentleman❤️💖🤗

I've been tying my tie a certain way for years and it always bugged me that it was "angled" and looked worse than those formal ties. Now I realized that it's the "four hand knot" and the most common way to do it is just a different technique. Thanks!
