Tie or bow tie
The tie remains important
Especially because looks are moving more and more in the direction of "casual", ties make a strong statement. They radiate seriousness and a sense of style.
Coordinate your tie with the rest of your outfit.
You can choose from:
- Colour
- Pattern/Design
- and your preferred shape (e.g. narrow ties with slim fit styles).
Four-in-Hand –
The quick one:
It is considered the standard knot. Often also called a simple knot. Fits all ties, shirt collars and styles.
This is how to tie a knot:
1 | Put up shirt collar
2 | Place wide over narrow end
3 | Wrap under narrow end of tie
4 | Pull wide end up to neck and lay to the left
5 | Pull through loop created
6 | Push up to shirt collar
The tie fits properly when its tip ends at the level of the belt or waistband after tying.
For the special moment: The matching bow tie
The bow tie for your gala shirt
There is no more festive combination, especially for occasions such as operas, balls or weddings, than a bow tie with a shirt.
A man with style will not want to do without a self-tied bow tie - even if there are alternatives.
How to tie a bow tie yourself:
1 | Place the fly around the neck
2 | Fold one side over the other side
3 | Pull the folded over end through towards the neck
4 - 7 | Bring the other end in front of the neck and flick through the other side
8 | Now wrap the loose side once completely around
