There are many ways to tie a tie, but one of the easiest and most common ones is the four-in-hand knot. This knot is simple, versatile, and works well with most shirts and ties.

Four-in-hand knot

1. Start with the wide end of the tie on your right side, and the narrow end on your left side. The wide end should be about 12 inches lower than the narrow end.

2. Cross the wide end over the narrow end, and hold them together with your left hand near your neck.

3. Take the wide end and pass it behind the narrow end, from right to left.

4. Bring the wide end back to the front, and cross it over the narrow end again, from left to right.

5. Lift the wide end up, and thread it through the loop around your neck, from underneath.

6. Pull the wide end down, and tuck it through the front loop that you just created.

7. Tighten the knot by holding the narrow end and sliding the knot up. Adjust the knot to make it neat and symmetrical.
