The are 4 methods to tie a necktie:

1. Windsor Knot   2. Half Windsor Knot    3. Four in Hand Knot    4. Pratt Knot

1. Windsor Knot

The Windsor Knot is a thick, wide and triangular tie knot that  projects confidence. It would therefore be your knot of choice for  presentations, job interviews, courtroom appearances etc. It is best suited for  spread collar shirts and it's actually quite easy to do.

While just about everyone can use this tie knot to tie his tie,  it looks especially well on men with longer necks as its wide form shortens the  perceived height of the neck a little bit.

To tie the Windsor Knot,  select a tie of your choice and stand in front of a mirror. Then simply follow  the steps below:

1.
1) The wide end "W" should extend about 12 inches below the narrow end "N". Cross the wide end "W" over the narrow end "N".

2.
2) Bring the wide end "W" up through the loop between the collar and your tie; then back down.

3.
3) Pull the wide end "W" underneath the narrow end "N" and to the right, back through the loop and to the right again so that the wide end "W" is inside out.

4.
4) Bring the wide end "W" across the front from right to left.

5.

5) Pull the wide end "W" up through the loop again.

6.
6) Bring the wide end "W" down through the knot in front.


7.
7) Using both hands, tighten the knot carefully and draw it up to the collar.
