Trinity

Want to wear your tie with attitude? While not recommended for a job interview or court room appearance, the Trinity knot has its time and place. It is a fun, creative, and unconventional way to wear your ties. I like this knot, for instance, when wearing my tie under a V-neck sweater.

Trinity Knot Step by Step Instructions

Tired of the classic shirt and tie look? Then spice things up by learning how to tie your ties with the Trinity knot – an exotic tie knot that breaks all classic tie rules. What makes the look different besides the look of the knot, is the way it is tied. Unlike other knots, the trinity is tied with the narrow end of the tie. Ready for the challenge? Then follow these 12 steps:

Trinity



Lay the tie around your neck with the narrow end hanging lower than the wide end. Take the narrow end and place it over the wide end. The wide end is not used to tie this knot. Therefore, keep it at a length you are happy with. I suggest near the center of your belt buckle.

Take the narrow end and wrap it around the the portion of your necktie that goes around your collar.
