The tie appeared in England at the end of the 19th century.Who invented it is still unknown. Currently, there are about eighty ways to tie a tie. And how many ways do you know: one, two or none? Most Russian families have this accessory hanging in the closet tied, and the man simply puts it on over his head before going out. But what a panic the owner of this element of men's clothing has when someone carelessly unties this knot. Now we will learn how to tie the decoration of a man's wardrobe with the main types of knots.

Types of knots for a tie

There are more than fifty types of tie knots in the modern world. The most common of them are:

• plain;
• Windsor;
• half-scan;
• cross;
• small.

The choice of a specific node depends not only onyour preferences, but also from fashion. Large designs are the latest trend. The fabric from which this element of men's wardrobe is made also plays a significant role in choosing the type. For example, a knot tied in the Windsor way is absolutely not suitable for elements with a dense lining fabric, because in this case it turns out to be too big, and the wide edge is shorter than the required length. An element tied in a simple way will be ideal under these conditions. The color of this part of the men's wardrobe should be a tone darker than the shirt. Bright colors are suitable for young unmarried men. Gentlemen of a respectable age can afford accessories of contrasting colors only on vacation. A bow tie is a necessary accessory for such a suit as a tuxedo. The pattern on the tie can be completely different. It can be lines, circles, abstraction, or the tie can be monochromatic. In addition to the suit, it can be matched to the color of the eyes and hair. There are colors that do not suit the type of a particular man. In addition, the method of tying a tie should be selected depending on the type of collar. A simple type is truly universal and looks great with any collar shape. No matter how thin or thick your men's wardrobe item is and what type of collar it is, the result will always be good. And the "Windsor" looks nice only with cut-off shirt collars. This type is quite voluminous, and only the widely spaced corners of the cut collar will not stick out from it. A simple type should not contain folds. And the formation of a fold under a double Windsor is not necessary, but quite acceptable. An accessory of a man's, and recently also a woman's wardrobe, should not be tied in your hands, but directly on the collar of a shirt. The optimal length of the wide end should be 2 cm below the waist. It should not end up being too short or long. To do this, you need to pass part of it under the collar so that the narrow part is in the middle of the length of the wide one. To avoid overtightening the fabric, any knot should be tied carefully. This wardrobe item should not look loose. It should be tight.

A simple (quarter) node

Due to the fact that this type is simpler than others,A simple knot is considered the most common way to tie a tie. The simple type originated in England. It is slightly asymmetrical and is tied at the narrow end of the accessory, suitable for all occasions. This method is best for tying accessories made of heavy fabrics. Procedure:

• Raise the collar of the shirt and thread under it the accessory of the men's wardrobe so that the narrow edge is on the right, and the big one, respectively, on the left;
• cross the ends so that the big one is on top of the narrow one;
• draw a wide edge under the narrow one and once again bring it to the right, crossed and placed on top of the narrow (should get a loop);
• In the loop, it is necessary to stretch the large end of the product and pull it up, pulling out of the loop;
• thread the wide part into the loop that formed under it, and pull down, holding the fingers of the resulting design;
• tighten.

Windsor Knot

This classic style is supposedly named after its inventor, the Duke of Windsor, but there is no documentary evidence to support this. Not suitable for ties made of heavy fabrics. How to make:

• bend the element around the collar of the shirt so that the wide part is longer;
• connect the ends crosswise (most of the top narrow);
• skip a large edge into the resulting loop and pull down;
• then extend it behind the knot to the left;
• thread the wide part into the loop from top to bottom;
• put it to the right over the narrow;
• Raise the big one and for the third time draw it through the loop, stretch it out;
• with care, pull the wide part to tighten the resulting structure;
• pull the tie to the collar.

A subtype of the Windsor method ishalf-Windsor look. The half-Windsor looks best on a collar with widely spaced corners. This method is simpler and at the same time suitable for any tie, regardless of the material from which it is sewn. The order of execution:

• flip the accessory through the neck so that the large edge is about 30 cm longer than the thin one;
• cross the ends so that the large edge is located above the narrow one;
• then wrap the big around thin;
• thread its end into the resulting loop and pull it down;
• place the wide part on top of the structure and thread it into the noose between the collar and tie;
• gently pull the large edge through the loop formed in front, and tighten;
• tighten the accessory of the men's wardrobe around the collar, holding the narrow edge.

Its ends should match, and the corner should be exactly in the center. Straight and clear lines decorate a man.

Cross knot for a tie

A beautiful cross knot looks great on accessories made of thin fabrics. It is quite difficult to tie, but the elegant look will justify the time spent. The order of execution:

• Slip the accessory through the neck so that the wide edge is on the right side;
• place the wide end on top;
• wrap it around the narrow end and place it above it;
• Pull the wide edge through the loop between the accessory and the collar;
• pull it out with a seam up;
• Move the wide end to the other side and place it on top of the structure;
• draw it from the bottom upward behind the structure and drag the large edge into the front loop;
• gently correct the design, holding the wide part of the index and thumbs;
• tighten the beautiful knot.

The ends of the tie when tied should match, be even and clear.

Running a small node

The small type is easier to perform than other methods. This is the simplest and most everyday type. The order of execution:

• tilt the accessory over the collar and flip the larger part out with the seam outward;
• cross the ends by placing a narrow one on top;
• throw the greater part over the narrow one;
• wind it behind the structure and stretch it into the loop between the accessory and the collar;
• bring the big end forward;
• drag it under the top layer of the structure;
• tighten.

This method works well for silkaccessories. When choosing a knot, remember that large men with a thick neck and a round face are recommended to use wide knots, such as the classic "Windsor". And thin men are recommended to choose neat and thin knots, such as a simple, cross and "half-Windsor". Lately, you will rarely meet young guys dressed in formal suits. Jeans have become both formal and casual clothing. And such a beautiful element of men's clothing as a tie can be found mainly on mature men. Even many male representatives wearing a formal suit undeservedly call this accessory a "noose". But the time will surely come when all our men from early childhood will wear ties and know at least a few ways to make knots. Everything in a person and his suit should be harmonious and attractive. A man should win people over, especially if he holds a leadership position, and an attentive and loving wife should help him with this.
