Many guys make it all the way to manhood without ever learning how to tie a tie properly. Weather it’s a big job interview, a family wedding, a day at the races or another formal occasion, every man should know the right way to tie a tie.
There are several different tie knots, from the classic Windsor the more advanced Pratt knot. The one you choose will depend on the type of tie, the material and the style of collar on your shirt along with your own personal preference and the look you’re going for.
