How to Tie a Bow Tie

How To Tie A Bow Tie | Completed Bowtie Knot

The bowtie is an irreplaceable part of men's fashion, whether as a mark of sophistication, intellect, or even whimsy. Learning to tie a bowtie can be challenging; it's certainly a tougher knot to learn than the most common necktie knots such as the four-in-hand or windsor knots, but here at Krisar Clothing we know you're up to the challenge. We've put together a series of helpful illustrations that will teach you how to tie that knot like a pro and graduate from clip-on bowties to self-tie bowties.

How To Tie A Bow Tie | Step 1

Step 1:

Begin with the tie around your neck, draped on the front of your shirt with the left-hand side slightly longer.
