It comes in handy every once and a while. (Ehh... I really hope you are right-handed. If not, just do your best switching some things around. You may have to practice a few times before you get the hang of it.) And yeah, I am going to have to actually use a tie when I am typing this...
Step 1 : Hang the tie of your choice around your neck. The thicker side should be on your right. Make sure both sides are facing right-side up.
Step 2 : About 3 and a 1/2 inches down on the skinnier side of the tie, wrap the larger side of the tie nice and secure around it. Twice should do it.
Step 3 : After you have wrapped the larger half of the tie twice, stop and put the larger half through the big hole closest to your neck.
Step 4 : Feed the larger half of the tie through the front visible loop that should be pretty tight, but still loose enough to stick the tie through.
Step 5 : Straighten up the tie. You can do this by pulling the smaller half of the tie tighter. Or even the front for that matter.
All right, there you have it. 5 easy steps to tie a tie. Sure they are not perfect, and I have no intentions of writing an instruction book on them... but they should work. If you have any specific questions on any of the steps I gave you, just drop it in my inbox, I'd be happy to answer them. [ AquamarineRose's advice column | Ask AquamarineRose A Question ]
