The Half Windsor Knot, a modest version of the Windsor Knot, is a symmetrical and triangular tie knot that you can use with any dress shirt. It works best with somewhat wider neckties made from light to medium fabrics. To tie the Half Windsor Knot, select a necktie of your choice and stand in front of a mirror. Then simply follow the steps below:
Lay the tie around your neck with the wide end hanging 12 inches lower than the narrow end. Then cross the wide end over the narrow end.
Pull the wide end behind the narrow end.
Then take the wide end and pull it through the gap between collar and necktie.
Next take the wide end and wrap over the narrow end of the tie.
Then pull the wide end again through the gap between collar and tie.
Don’t pull tight yet to allow for a loop on top of the knot.
Pull the wide end of the tie through the loop on top of the knot.
Pull tight and adjust the knot to sit centered between your collar. That’s all there is to it. Good job!!!
And there you are! Simply keep working on this necktie knot and be sure to practice a few times until you are really good at it.
