- Turn up the collar of your shirt and make sure that the top button is buttoned.
- Drape the tie around your neck with the wide end on your left. Make sure that the wide end is extended about 12 inches lower than the narrow end.
- Cross the wide end over the narrow end
- Bring the wide end back underneath the narrow end
- Cross the wide end over the narrow end once more
- Pull the wide end up through the bottom of the loop that has been formed by the tie and your neck.
- Bring the wide end back down through the loop in the front and pull it down as far as it will go.
- Hold the narrow end gently while slowly pushing the knot up until it reaches the center of the collar.
