How to Tie a Tie | Windsor (aka Full Windsor or Double Windsor) | For Beginners

Tying a Windsor Knot

The Windsor knot, also called a Double or Full Windsor, creates a sharp, symmetrical triangle.

1. Raise your collar and place the tie around your neck. If you’re right-handed, hold the wide end in your right hand and the narrow end in your left.
2. Set the wide end’s length carefully: the longer it starts, the lower the finished tie will hang. Cross it over the narrow end, leaving about 4 inches (10 cm) of the narrow end visible.
3. Bring the wide end up through the opening behind the crossed ends, then wrap it around the back.
4. Pass the wide end down through the opening at the front.
5. Keep a finger against the knot. Wrap the wide end across it from right to left, then bring it up through the opening from behind.
6. Thread the wide end down through the small tunnel made by your finger.
7. Adjust and tighten the knot gradually, shaping it as you pull it into place. Lower your collar when finished.
