Tying a familiar, modern tie with the classic Windsor knot is easy. It is best to train and then form a triangle for wearing in front of a mirror.

6. lower and wrap the long end over the knot from right to left, facing outward;

A tie-tying technique such as Windsor is very popular - it not only became widespread and firmly entered the life of business men, but also began to be used as the basis for a large number of varieties... All options have a triangular, three-dimensional shape, but differ in volume and method of weaving. Several such varieties are known.

The Double Windsor is not an advanced or sophisticated version of the classic knot. This method of tying a tie has its own tricks. The sequence of actions in this case is completely different. This variation won't be very difficult, but the result is different. A double turn makes the triangle more voluminous and wider.

So, to make a double "Windsor", you must:

• put the wide and long end of your tie in your right hand, and the narrow and short end in your left;
• after that, it is necessary to place the wide part on top of the narrow one and stretch it up through the loop;
• then the long end, placing it under the short end, stretch from left to right and again stretch through the loop;
• then pass the wide end over the loop, and then lower it inside;
• then repeat throwing over the narrow end to the left and pull out under the loop;
• pass the long part through the triangle, form an even knot.

"Half-windsor" also differs from the classic "Windsor" knot in the form and the knotting algorithm. Such a knot will also be outwardly similar to the classic version, but the weaving method will be different.

To make a Semi-Windsor node, you need to perform a number of steps:

• we sketch out a tie in such a way that the long and wide side is to the left of the narrow one;
• put the long end on top;
• wrap the narrow end with a long edge;
• we thread the long edge into the neck loop, bring it out to the right of the narrow end;
• again wrap the narrow end together with the base with the long end from right to left;
• we put the long end in a loop from bottom to top;
• we drag the long end through the entire knot from top to bottom under the front strip;
• we form a knot even, symmetrical and voluminous.

A tie is a great way to diversify your look. To make a tie look stylish, you need to follow simple rules and choose the style wisely.

Important:

1. the tip of the tie should be located approximately in the middle of the belt buckle;
2. in everyday life and in a free style, you can leave a distance from the tie to the collar;
3. choose a tie based on the occasion and your personal style.

In total, there are several popular trends in clothing that allow the use of such an accessory.

The formal style requires the choice of a tie in the most classic size, color and shape, since he must fit into the image of a business person.

Casual style suggests the admissibility of some liberties in color or shape, but still must be restrained, since, as a rule, it is used for wearing to work.

Sports style special thin ties of all colors are used, plain or with small patterns. However, very light colored ones will not be suitable for wearing with sports shirts.

The freest style is club style since the club style ties reflect all the trends in fashion. In different periods, they can be completely unpredictable both in materials and in shape.
