how to tie a windsor knot

Here is a clear step-by-step guide on how to tie a Windsor knot:

1. Place the tie around your neck with the wide end on the right and the narrow end on the left. The wide end should be lower than the narrow end.
2. Cross the wide end over the narrow end towards the left.
3. Bring the wide end up through the neck loop from underneath and then pass it down to the left side.
4. Cross the wide end underneath the narrow end towards the right.
5. Bring the wide end up through the neck loop again and pass it down to the right side.
6. Cross the wide end over the narrow end towards the left.
7. Bring the wide end up through the neck loop from underneath.
8. Pass the wide end down through the loop you created in the front of the knot.
9. Pull down on the wide end to tighten the knot and slide the knot up towards your neck to adjust.

The Windsor knot creates a wide, symmetrical triangular knot that looks formal and polished, perfect for wide collar shirts and important occasions.
