Sometimes it’s necessary to wear a tie or bowtie. A neatly knotted tie makes

a good impression. A properly made tie knot should not be pulled tight, and
the tie should be long enough that its broad end is even with your belt. Here
are two classic tie knots that can be used for most ties and are also good for
bow ties. The first one, Four-in-hand, is suitable for all occasions.

1. Place the tie around your neck. The wide end should hang much further
down than the narrow end, so that you have something to make the tie knot
with.

2. Take the wide end and follow the illustration.
