How To: Tie a tie

Hey guys! This weeks blog is a little bit different and today I am going to teach you something that you probably will need to know when you get older whether it is for a job interview and even for your wedding! I am going to guide you on how to tie or own tie in 8 easy steps.
This tying technique is called the "Half Windsor" knot. There are 4 main techniques for tying a tie but today I will show you how to do the Half Windsor. I have recorded a video of me teaching you How To tie the tie.

Here we go:

Step 1:
Wrap the tie around your neck with the bigger flap on the right hand side of your body. Make a cross with the bigger flap on the top and the end of the smaller flap closer to your neck.

Step 2:
Pull the big flap towards you and out towards the front.

Step 3:
Now do the same, but on the other side of the Tie. Make sure you end up with a 'Y' shaped figure. Pull the big flap and make sure everything is tight and neat.

Step 4:
Take the big flap and cross it over the 'Y' shape from the right side to the left.

Step 5:
Similar as step 1, do the same and pull the tie out, from the big hole.

Step 6:
Insert the big flap into the loop hole, making sure everything is neat and tight. You should end up with a trapezium on your chest.

Step 7:
With your index finger and thumb, pull the small side of the trapezium towards the ground and pull the big flap to make it tight. Repeat this until you get a good looking 'V' shape.

Step 8:
Now with your left hand, pull the small flap of the tie towards the ground and with your right hand pull the 'V' shape towards your neck. *Remember to keep it straight!

Adjust the tie to your liking and don't make it too uncomfortable for you. Pull down your collar.
Well done! You have tied your first ever tie!
