Tie knots: which one to choose?
The tie is one of the favorite accessories for every gentleman. But it is not only the design or fabric of it, but also the knot to choose.
We must take into account the context in which we will be, an event is not the same as going to work. Also another fact to consider is our face so that the knot does not look too big or small. And don't forget the collar of the shirt, since it completely conditions the knot to choose.
There are several knots but today I share the most used: four hand knot, half windsor knot and simple or American.
Four hand knot:
This is one of the most popular and easy to do. It is ideal for the office or for a job interview. How to do it: keep the small side of the tie on the left; pass the wide side over the narrower one; then fold the wide side below the narrow side and pass forward to the left; To finish, pass that end of the tie inside the neck and insert down into the knot created to adjust. *

Half windsor knot:
This is one of my favorites and in addition to being good at work, it is perfect for a business meeting, since it gives the outfit more elegance. How to do it: start with the widest side to the right, the wide end will be passed over the thin side, circling below and inserting the wide tip into the circle of the neck from above, taking that same end towards the bottom by the left side; and continue to surround the knot with the wide end above; to finish introducing the wide end through the back of the necktie circle, and then close by bringing the point inside the circle of the knot. *

Simple or American:
This is what we have all been taught when we first had to wear a tie. Simple and easy to do, there is nothing complex about it. How do we tie it ?: you put the wide side of the tie on the right side; then you cross the wide side over the left side; then, from below you go over the thin side of the tie again, thus surrounding that end; later, you cross from below and inside the circle of the neck; then you can pass the tip from above and insert into the circle of the knot you formed.
