How To Tie A Bow Tie - 3 Advanced Ways With Single End Tutorial

About this video

The Gazette team demonstrates three advanced bow tie tying techniques: a twisted knot variation that creates a three-dimensional look, a larger loosely-tied knot for a bold appearance, and the rare single-end bow tie style popular in the 1920s-30s. The speaker explains the tying process for each method and discusses the Gazette team’s philosophy on fixed-length bow ties and traditional material selection for formal wear.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends twisting the front end before tying to add dimension to solid bow ties, particularly black ones
• A looser, larger bow tie knot can be achieved by starting with more length and intentionally keeping the tie loose before adjusting
• Single-end bow ties, which feature only one bow end and no visible clasp, require careful tying technique and work well with detachable collars; the Gazette team designs their own versions based on historical 1920s-30s styling
• The Gazette team argues that fixed-length bow ties without adjusters are superior to adjustable ones and demonstrate true understanding of formal dress
• The Gazette team recommends matching bow tie material to tuxedo lapel faces as the traditional approach
