How to Tie a Bow Tie for Men – A Step-by-Step Guide
Tying a bow tie for men can be a challenge at first, but with a bit of practice and patience, you'll quickly get the hang of it. A properly tied bow tie adds an elegant and stylish touch to your outfit.
Preparation
Before you begin, you should ensure that your bow tie fits the size of your neck. Many bow ties have an adjustable length that you can tailor to your collar size. A well-fitting shirt collar also ensures that the bow tie is comfortable to wear and does not slip.
Instructions for Tying the Bow Tie
1. Place the bow tie around your neck
Place the bow tie around your neck so that the left end is slightly longer than the right.
2. Cross the ends
Bring the longer end over the shorter end and pull it up through underneath the shorter end.
3. Form the first loop
Fold the shorter end horizontally to create the first wing shape. Hold this shape in position with one hand.
4. Lay the longer end over it
Now place the longer end centrally over the formed loop.
5. Form the second loop
Fold the longer end and pull it through the loop created behind the first wing half.
6. Tighten the knot
Gently pull on both wing ends to secure the bow tie. Make sure it sits symmetrically.
7. Fine adjustment
Align the bow tie, gently pull on the wings if necessary, and check the fit in front of the mirror.
Tips for a perfect bow tie
– If the knot doesn't sit perfectly, undo the bow tie and start again. With a bit of practice, it gets easier.
– A slightly asymmetrical bow tie looks charming and emphasises the hand-tied style.
– Use a bow tie made of a sturdy material, as this is easier to tie.
