his article describes the steps to follow to come up with a sharp looking tie. Doing a fabulous tie will only require some patience for you to learn and then you become an expert.
To get started, place the tie in an inside out manner; this means keeping the wide end hanging on the right side and the other narrow end hanging on the left hand side. Do some adjustments such that the wide end is slightly longer than the narrow one.
While keeping the narrow end on the same unchanged position, take the wide end and then cross it under the narrow end.
A loop is now formed around the neck. Bring the wide end and make it go over the loop.
The loop is not yet complete; so now pull the wide end under it. Tighten appropriately.
Move the wide end above the narrow end. This should be done from left to right.
Complete the loop again by pulling the wide end up through t.
A knot is now formed in the front side; bring the wide side down thought this knot.
Try to mould the shape to make it triangular
Finally, fasten the tie by pulling on the narrow end. This fastening is of course done along the collar.
Method two;
Stand before a mirror; ensure that your collar is up and your shirt is buttoned up to the top.
Place your tie around the neck. Keep the wide end to the side of your most active hand, otherwise known as dominant hand. For instance, if you’re right handed, please keep the wide end hanging to your right hand side. For the lest handed, let the wide end of the tie hang on your left hand side.
Identify the seam usually located on the front side of the narrow end.
Move the wider end over the narrower end in such a way that the two ends cross each other. They should not cross at any other point but on the seam.
Pull the wider end to move behind the narrower end.
Keep the wide end facing off to your left and then bring it around.
Again, bring the wider end under the narrow one.
A loop is formed around your neck. Pull the wider end to go through this loop.
A knot is now formed at th front side of the tie. Pull the wider end again to down through this knot. Tighten the knot.
