How to tie a narrow tie. Types of nodes

To narrow ties are those whose width does not exceed 6.35 cm (or 2.5 inches). They are popular, as a rule, among young people under 30 years old. How to tie a narrow tie? There are several ways. And they are relevant in connection with the fact that this part of the men's wardrobe increasingly appears in the daily life of a strong half of humanity, and not only on the catwalks.

How to choose a narrow tie?

It should immediately be stipulated that there are no special options for a narrow accessory. Ways to tie a tie in width to 6.35 cm exactly the same as for any other. Another thing is to understand that not all options will fit a narrow model. And still need to know with what clothes you can wear this accessory.

The most important thing is to observe the proportion. The width of the tie should not exceed the width of the lapels of the jacket with which it is planned to wear a tie. The best option is when the width of the lapels and tie is the same. Well, or at least as close to equality as possible. Single-breasted jackets of Italian or English style on two buttons will be an excellent choice if it is a narrow necktie.

Who fits a narrow tie?

The answer to the question of how to tie a narrow tie, for some may be useless. Ectomorphs - lean, tall men - these are the people to whom a thin tie will do the best. Because on larger men the narrow tie will look ridiculous, and they'd better choose a standard width accessory that does not look like a rope hanging around the neck. Even European jackets on two buttons look at the skinny much better and more organic.

Narrow ties are a youth accessory. Therefore, men at the age of 35 years, wearing a narrow accessory, will look inconsiderate and frivolous. In return for a narrow tie, it is better to choose a standard width model with an unusual print, if you really want to look original.

Etiquette

There are also several rules of etiquette, which should be taken into account if a person uses a tie in the wardrobe. These rules are associated not only with the correspondence of the width of the lapel and tie. It's not even the possession of ways to tie a tie. This is a series of rigorous rules. Following them, you can be seen as a person with good taste, if, of course, there are some doubts about yourself:

• The tie should be in harmony with the print and the color of the rest of the clothes. The main rule is to not overdo it - use at least three colors at a time.
• A short, thick neck should not be "weighted" by large, wide knots. Therefore, for people with such a neck, it is better to choose the simplest single knot.
• A man, unlike a woman, can not afford to supplement a suit with a lot of accessories. Therefore, you need to ensure that you do not overdo it and do not look a bit like a parrot.
• A man with a body type "ectomorph" can wear a thin tie not always. If he is of mature age, then the tie will also look ridiculous, showing that his owner as if can not adequately resign himself to his age.

How to tie a narrow tie to a newbie?

A beginner in wearing ties can choose the easiest way. This method is to tie an accessory to a simple node. A simple or usual site has many more names, for example, old German, quadruple, etc. There are even a few legends about how the name of this node appeared.

Looks a tie with an ordinary knot asymmetrically and slightly carelessly. But, despite negligence, it looks stylish. The most simple site can be tied up like this:

1. The necktie should be thrown over the neck with the face up. Wide part of the fold on the narrow. It should be borne in mind that it should be lower.
2. Wide end to be thrown to the right side.
3. Baste the wide end of a thin striped tie. It will be on the bottom.
4. Again hold the big end over the small one.
5. Insert a wide end into the loops formed on the throat.
6. Put it in the outer small loop.
7. Tighten and straighten the loop.

Step-by-step instruction: how to tie a narrow tie?

A simple, but more elegant way is a double knot (double Windsor). To make the view not sloppy, this site requires a shirt with a wide collar.

Tie a narrow tie, as did the duke of the duke von Windsor, can be two little different ways. At the first at the end, the node is straightened out so that there are wrinkles on it, and the second one makes a small dimple instead. To make a dimple from the wrinkles, you need to press the tie just below the knot with your finger, while holding the knot while holding the other hand. At the same time, a groove will appear, which must be pressed outward, tightening the tie to the end.

But the dimple is kept on time less than the folds, because it is, in fact, also a fold, but only one and too short to hold well enough, unlike the usual folds of a double Windsor.

So, here's the way to tie a tie with a double knot:

1. As in most cases we hang the necktie round the neck with the front side outward and the wide end lowered lower.
2. After passing under the narrow wide end, take it to the right.
3. As in the previous method, we deduce again the wide end over the narrow one.
4. Repeat the second action again.
5. And once again send the thick end up.
6. Now you need to pull through the throat a long end from the bottom up.
7. Pushing, as in the previous method, into the outer ring formed by the wide half, tighten the loop.
8. Straighten it.

Another way

To tie a narrow tie in another way, there are several ways. There are fewer of them than for the general public, since the majority will look ridiculous. But, as you know, a narrow accessory can not look good with everyone. Two ways we have considered. So, there are still popular tie knot names that you can use for young people, without being afraid to look ridiculous:

• Universal node. Suitable for all ties, but may not look very stylish.
• An elegant knot. The extra coil gives it more elegance than other options.
• A woolen knot. Good for thin wool ties and wide collars of shirts.
• Knot Pratt. It is characteristic for him that the narrow half is on the wide, and not vice versa.

Accessories

A plain tie and a narrow European costume require even small additions to create a complete image. First of all, this is a tie clip. It can be replaced with a handkerchief, embedded in a pocket on the chest. Also, a combination of a handkerchief and a clasp will look stylish. Best of all, the man looks like a silvery clip. It can be an accessory made of silver or special chrome steel.

Do not be afraid to wear a narrow tie. Yes, this makes a young man stylish and pleasant in appearance. But in fact it is high time to struggle with the stereotype that a man should be "a little more beautiful than a monkey."
