Best tie knot - Full Windsor

I personally wear a tie a lot, because I think it is the traditional finishing touch for neat dressing. Naturally, I recommend it to anyone who wants to dress a bit more stylishly.

A tie is a classic accessory that everyone surely associates with stylish dressing. Even today, for the best festive occasions, people still dress up elegantly with a tie. A tie truly crowns any outfit. When worn with a suit, a tie adds the final touch to the celebration, but it also works wonderfully to bring a touch of classic style to a casual outfit when paired with a blazer or vest. 

In my opinion, the best tie knot for everyday use is the so-called Full Windsor or French knot. The knot is symmetrical, which I find most pleasing. Additionally, it suits well with wide collars and narrower ties.

In the picture above, at the time of writing, I am wearing a full Windsor or French tie knot around my neck.

Full Windsor, easy and quick

1. Place the wide end of the tie on the left side, with the back side facing your neck.
2. Measure the short and long sections so that the long section is about twice the length of the short, narrower side.
3. Move only the wide end of the tie when tying it. Start tying the knot by bringing the wide end over the narrow side to the right.
4. Pull the wide end through the loop formed from underneath.
5. Lower the wide end to the left.
6. Turn the wide end to the left from below the knot. The wide part of the tie is now inside out.
7. Lift the wide end up.
8. Pull the wide end through the loop to the right. The tie's end is now inside out.
9. Take the wide end over the narrow end to the left.
10. Take the tie up, from the back of the knot.
11. Bring the wide end down in front of the knot and thread it through the loop you just made.
12. Tighten the tie.

If and when reading the instructions is harder to grasp, I embedded the following video from YouTube here (in English).
