How to Tie a Tie:

What may seem to be a very simple task can be very difficult to some. Today not many people actually know how to tie a tie, a simple solution to some is wearing a clip on, but being able to tie your own is a very valuable skill. Begin by buttoning your shirt to the very top. With the tie around your neck put the wide end on your right side making it longer than the thin side. This will change depending on the size of the tie and your body, but typically put the end of the wide side down to your belly button. Next put the wide end over the other and bring it up under close to your neck. Then wrap it around the small end to the left. Then back under the neck loop and through the hole you’ve just created in the front. Pull down tightly and adjust the tie accordingly. It may seem complicated at first but with practice is like riding a bike. There are also many videos online that can help give a visual representation of this.
