Christensen Knot? | Learn How To Tie This Elegant Knot EASILY | Tying A Tie Video Tutorial
About this video
Centeno teaches how to tie the Christensen knot, a medium to large tie knot that adds visual interest without being overly flashy. He covers the knot’s characteristics, its casual nature, and provides step-by-step instructions for tying it properly with tips for achieving the correct fit and appearance.
Key takeaways
- Centeno describes the Christensen knot as a medium to large, casual knot best suited for full spread collars and not appropriate for business settings
- Centeno recommends draping the tie with the wide end significantly longer than the narrow end and crossing it multiple times around the neck opening to create the distinctive extra fold
- Centeno advises that the finished tie should rest between the top and middle of the belt line, and suggests using a tie tac or tie bar if the narrow end is too short
