Master the Half Windsor: Tie a Perfect Knot in 5 Minutes

Master a polished look with the Half Windsor, a neat and versatile knot suitable for almost any collar. To begin, drape the tie around your neck with the wide end on your right, hanging about 12 inches below the narrow end. Cross the wide end over the narrow, bring it up through the neck loop from underneath, then across the front. Push it up again and slide it down through the horizontal fold you’ve created. Hold the narrow end and slide the knot up until it sits snug at the collar. The tip of your tie should just touch the top of your belt buckle—no higher, no lower. Pinch just below the knot to form a small dimple for a professional finish. At day’s end, untie gently by loosening the knot. Avoid pulling the tie over your head to maintain its shape. Silk knots smoothly, while thicker fabrics like wool may need a lighter touch to prevent bulk.
