The true story of the creation of a tie is still shrouded in mystery.
There is a version of historians that wearing a tie started long ago when bandits, robbers or other criminals were hanged. In case the rope breaks during the execution, this lucky person had to wear this piece called a tie until the end of his life as a sign that he was pardoned by the Almighty Himself.
There is another version: the Croatian mercenaries tied scarves around their necks before the battle to distinguish themselves from each other during the battle. It is also believed that Roman orators tied warm cloths around their necks before speaking to warm the vocal cords.
Over time, the “fashion” for ties has changed and changed. As a result, every day we see modern men tying ties before going to work or a business meeting. There are also about a hundred tie knots. But today we will only talk about 3 ways how to tie a tie.
1. Simple knot or four-in-hand
The simplest and most popular knot. Perfect for beginners, it can be combined with almost any shirt collar. It is necessary that the knot is not hidden by the edges of the collar.
2. Half Windsor
Less bulky knot than the classic Windsor. It is suitable for straight ties made of thin fabric, harmoniously combined with open collars.
3. Windsor
One of the most popular knots. A little difficult to tie, but promises an excellent result. The size of the knot can be adjusted if needed by changing the ends of the tie and experimenting with the width. The knot is large, so it works best with open collars, such as collars. B. Italian shirts.
