Every man should be able to tie his own bow tie.
Only boys at prom wear pre-tied bow ties or clip-on bow ties.
You should never wear that.
It shows, it's too symmetrical, it's too perfect, and it looks cheap.
Elegant men like Winston Churchill
would always wear their bow tie so it was slightly askew.
That shows the true character of a perfectly tied bow tie.
It is not symmetrical.
In recent years, bow ties have become much more popular.
This is the easiest way to tie it.
There are many ways, but let's start with the simplest way.
If you have an adjustable bow tie, adjust it to the right length.
Usually, you should choose the neck size that you have for your shirt.
But you can play around with it.
If you go for a fixed length bow tie, like the black bow ties from Fort Belvedere,
then you don't need to adjust anything.
Once it's adjusted, throw it around your neck, flap down your collar, and button the top button.
You may want to pull on the inside so it looks neat.
All right. This is how you tie it.
First, you want the left side of your bow tie to be about
an inch or one-and-a-half inches longer than your right one.
So, long end goes over short end.
Pinch with your left hand.
Now, the longer end goes up through the hole and you pull it tight.
Now, your right hand, you leave your bow tie here.
With your left hand, you hold that end of the bow tie
you bring your index finger in between your body and the bow tie,
and you move it over to create a bow tie shape which you can see here.
Now, with your right hand, bring the other piece in –
the longer piece – and fold it over.
Now it already looks like a bow tie from the front.
So, what I do now is I take this part of the bow tie and hold it together like so.
Now I switch my hands.
And what I can see now is I created a hole back here.
And this is where this part has to go through.
Now, I create another bow tie shape here and I do that with my fingers like so,
fold it up, so I get a shape similar to a bow tie,
and I just push it through that little hole we created.
Now, I pull on the folded ends so it tightens the knot of my bow tie,
and there you go: the bow tie
