How To Tie A Tie - Oriental Knot - Most Simple & Smallest Knot

About this video

The Gazette team demonstrates how to tie the Oriental knot, explaining that it is the smallest and easiest tie knot to master. They cover when to use it—particularly for short ties or thick fabrics—proper tie length guidelines, collar compatibility, and step-by-step tying instructions with finishing techniques.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends the Oriental knot for short ties, tall individuals, thick tie materials, or anyone preferring small knots
• The Gazette team advises that ties should end at or above the waistband and never extend past it, as longer ties draw attention away from the face
• The Gazette team notes the Oriental knot works best with classic or medium spread collars and pairs well with collar pins, bars, or clips due to its small size
• The Gazette team teaches the tying technique involves crossing the slim end over the wide end, wrapping behind, threading through the knot, and creating a dimple for a finished appearance
