With this being said, fear ‘knot’ with our simple step-by-step guide on the two most popular/timeless tie knots that will cover all your bases for you next upcoming event.

CASUAL LOOKS - THE SIMPLE KNOT

The simple knot contains the fewest possible steps and is very easy to learn. The Simple knot is compact with an asymmetry causing it to lean toward the active end. This knot works well with thick neckties or for tall guys who need a little extra length. (Credit ties.com)

FORMAL LOOKS – THE WINDSOR KNOT

Although the Duke of Windsor never specifically used the Windsor knot, he did favor a wide triangular knot. In actuality, the Duke achieved his trendsetting look by tying a Four-in-Hand with specially made wide and extra thick ties. The Windsor delivers a symmetrical and solid triangular knot that works best with a spread collar and provided a more formal finish to any suit. (Credit ties.com)
