You might not wear one all that often these days, but some events still require a tie. It\u2019s a sad fact, but there are grown men who don\u2019t know <strong>how to tie a tie<\/strong>. If they have a big interview that afternoon, they\u2019ll go shopping for a clip-on. Even if a man does know how to tie a tie, their knowledge is often limited to just one necktie knot.<\/p>\n<p>But there are several ways to tie a tie. Certain necktie knots should be used with certain shirt collars and tie fabric materials to get the best results for your appearance. Below, we show you three classic necktie knots every man should know and give you the lowdown on when you should use them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve created videos for each tie knot and also one giant video with them all together. <strong>To make it easier for you to follow along with the instructions, I&#8217;ve flipped the images.<\/strong> So when you&#8217;re watching the video, my right is the same as your right and my left is the same as your left. These videos are from 2009. They&#8217;re still good, so I&#8217;ve kept them.&nbsp; You get to see me when I was fresh faced and without a mustache.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Looking to tie a bow tie?
