One or four hand knots (single knots). This is the easiest tie to use and can be matched with various styles of shirts and ties.
The correct way to play is to keep the narrow edge of the tie on the right side of the body, press the wide edge on the narrow edge, surround the narrow edge with the wide edge, then pass the wide edge under the annular part of the neckline, and then tighten and straighten the wide edge through the surrounding annular holes to complete the knot.
Second, windsor knot. It is said that it was invented by the famous Duke of Windsor in England. This knot is very suitable for shirts with Italian neckline (figure-eight collar) because its width is wider than ordinary knots and it is often paired with silk ties.
The correct way to play is to keep the narrow side of the tie on the right side of the body, press the wide side to the narrow side, first around the neckline of the narrow side, then back to the wide side around the neckline, and then around the narrow side, so that the wide side can pass through this circle to fasten it.
Three, cross knot (half windsor knot). This knot is elegant and rare. The size of the knot is between ordinary knot and windsor knot. Its playing style is also more complicated. Thin ties are easier to use, and are best suited to shirts with pointed collars and standard necklines.
The correct way to play is to press the wide side to the narrow side, first around the wide side, then around the narrow side, and then let the wide side pass through this circle to fasten it. What the cross knot and windsor knot have in common is that the narrow side is fixed, and the wide side is wrapped around the narrow side, so that when it is opened, it is a slipknot instead of a dead knot.
