3 Easiest Tie Knots for Beginners - Step-By-Step Instruction - Works Guaranteed

About this video

The Gazette team teaches how to tie three fundamental tie knots—the Oriental, Four-in-Hand, and Kelvin—and demonstrates how to pair each knot with appropriate shirt collars and tie thicknesses. The team emphasizes that successful tie styling depends on balancing the knot size with collar spread and tie weight to create a polished, flattering appearance.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that shirt collar shape should guide your choice of tie knot, since the collar is fixed while the knot is flexible; the knot should fill the collar space without excessive overlap or visible tie band on the sides
• The Gazette team recommends matching tie thickness to knot choice—thinner ties work with smaller knots like the Oriental, while medium to thick ties pair well with larger knots like the Kelvin for proper visual balance
• The Gazette team teaches that all three knots benefit from creating a deliberate dimple (crease) at the top of the tie, which adds elegance and breaks the light across the knot
