How To Tie A Necktie Easily - Steps and Diagrams
95So, what does a woman know about neckties?
I grew up during the New Wave years, when even women wore neckties, so I asked my dad to teach me how to tie a tie. He stood me in front of him in front of mirror, and tied a tie on me. Then he showed me how to slip it off without untying it, and told me "there you go!" It didn't take much practice and then I could tie my own neckties.
Then I went to college and majored in costume and found out that often I could tie a necktie and the actors that I was helping get dressed could not. I taught a lot of guys how to tie ties in college. When I do the thing where I have the person stand in front of me and I tie it on them, I have to stand on a chair, as I'm really short... LOL...!
Men's neckwear hasn't really changed all that much over the last century. Men's shirts have collars that are now sewn on, instead of buttoning onto a collarless shirt. Ties go through phases of getting a bit longer or shorter, or a tad wider or narrower, but overall, they don't change that much.

About Giving Ties As Gifts
Giving a man a tie as a gift is almost a cliche, but it doesn't have to be!
-
Neckties often have a much maligned reputation as a fall-back gift for Father's Day, Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries. Never give a necktie just because you can't think of anything else.
-
Really think about the man (or woman) you're buying the necktie for. Is this tie to be worn at the office? Is it meant to be a tasteful accessory, an eye-catching accent or a novelty joke tie?
-
Get a tie with a design or picture on it of something the receiver likes. For example, sports logos, team colors, boating accents, golf images and more all can appear very small and tastefully on a tie.
-
How stylish is your tie receiver? If the person you're gifting is really into fashion, consider giving them a gift certificate if you're fashion knowledge is not up to their level.

Great Hub. These are nice steps on how to tie a tie correctly. When I tie is tied correctly it just looks so much better.

Thanks a lot for that I learn how to tie necktie.

oh.. thanks a lot for the easy instruction....
yeahhh
very easy guide. thanks
I never thought you could mix math with tying a tie, but two mathematitions from England, Thomas Fink and Yong Mao seems fit to publish a book titled "The 85 Ways To Tie a Tie"! Now that's a lot of variations!
Great. Openly, I did not know there are many ways to tie a necktile.thanks
Thanks lots
This is really great for both men and women.I remember at time in a class full of motorcycling men, we had the choice of two presentations: 1) show the class how to tie their shoes or 2) show the class how to tie a tie. It was a presentation to access our teaching abilities in front of people we did not know.Since I once lived in England where the uniform included a tie, I decided to teach them how to tie a tie.... not only tie the tie but tie a double windsor knotted one. They all loved it and took their ties home for future use LOL (all tied up of course)Oh, I was the only one who picked that option (tying a tie) and was also the only woman in the class!! Needless to say I passed with tying colours LOL
This is great. I'm going to send this to my son's roommate. He's in a job that requires a suit most days, but doesn't know how to tie his tie so he takes it off by loosening it and taking it off over his head nightly. This is a skill he needs to master.
I hadn't tied one in so long...I would have had some trouble this morning without your hub! Thanks.
Thanks, these always drive me crazy!

I loved reading this! I know how to tie a tie with no issues, but I was curious when I read this title on how you explained it. I had to learn how to tie a tie for my boyfriend because he is clueless and for some reason it made sense to me and now I can do it in my sleep (since he often wakes me up to tie it for him)!! Very informative!
