If you’re left-handed, start with the wide end over your left shoulder instead. Be sure to coordinate your tie with the color or pattern of your outfit so you can look your best.
Leave a little bit of slack when you first tie your tie, or else it might get too tight and make it difficult to breathe or swallow.
Practice tying your tie in front of a mirror since it’ll be a lot easier to see what you’re doing.
Make sure you pull the tie as tight as you comfortably can so the knot looks clean when you’re done.
If the shapes are not symmetrical, undo your tie and try starting over so your knot doesn’t look messy.
Straighten out your tie so it lays flat and doesn’t hang backward or crooked when you finish tying it.
Tilt your head up to make it easier to work with your tie.
Fit your tie so the wide end reaches your waistband when you’re finished tying a Windsor knot. If the tie is too short, undo your tie and shorten the narrow end before trying again. If your tie was too long, shorten the wide end.
