ULTIMATE Guide To Tying A Necktie (How To Tie A Tie)

About this video

Centeno teaches how to tie three essential necktie knots—the Four in Hand, Half Windsor, and Balthus—and explains the rules for wearing neckties well, including proper collar pairing, proportional matching with lapels, and coordinating with shirts and pocket squares.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that creating a dimple in the necktie knot is essential for a polished appearance, achievable through two methods of pinching and gently pulling the fabric
• Centeno recommends matching shirt collar types to appropriate knot sizes and tie widths: point collars with slim ties and small knots, spread collars with medium ties and knots, and wide spread collars with large knots and thick ties
• Centeno advises that necktie width should align closely with jacket lapel width (within one inch) and that the tie should end at the middle of the belt buckle to achieve proper proportions
• Centeno argues that pocket squares and neckties should complement rather than match exactly, and that dark shirts with light neckties generally look tacky and lack versatility
