HOW TO TIE A BOW TIE Step-By-Step The Easy Way, Slow, For Beginners - WORKS GUARANTEED
About this video
The Gazette team demonstrates how to tie a bow tie using the simplest method available. They explain why pre-tied and clip-on bow ties should be avoided, and walk viewers through the step-by-step process of tying a bow tie properly, emphasizing that an elegantly tied bow tie should have a slightly asymmetrical appearance rather than perfect symmetry.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that every man should learn to tie his own bow tie, and pre-tied or clip-on bow ties are inappropriate as they look cheap and overly symmetrical
- The Gazette team recommends starting with an adjustable bow tie set to match your neck size, or using a fixed-length bow tie
- The Gazette team teaches a straightforward tying method: create a base knot with one end longer, fold one side into a bow shape, then thread the other end through the loop created at the back
