St Andrew's Knot!
Bow size: Medium and slightly narrow
Difficulty level: Easy
Formality: Business/professional or social
Recommended collars: Point collars, buttoned collars
The St Andrews knot is a very practical but somewhat bulky knot.
The Saint Andrew's knot combines simplicity with fullness. This is the strongest tie knot you can create in as few steps as possible .
So while it's not as big as the Windsor knot , it's certainly more practical!
Its medium size and asymmetrical style make it a confident, yet refined, bow in your repertoire. Not every tie knot has to be bold, sometimes simplicity is the key to elegance, and the St Andrew's knot is the perfect solution!
It's perfect for boardroom looks and makes a simple canvas for accenting bold designs.
You won't waste much time learning it or tying the knot itself.
The St. Andrew's knot can be tied quickly (but not as quickly as smaller knots) and it is self-detaching, meaning you can pull on the end to undo it.
It is a bow that men can wear comfortably in both formal and informal occasions.
Note: As it is not purely symmetrical, other men prefer to opt for the Windsor or Pratt (Shelby) . So if you're meeting someone important, like a big client or VIP, you need to consider the risk of your tie looking a little "sloppy" or distracting.
Never forget your style goal.
For its size, however, the St Andrew's Knot is the most practical option. And it still remains popular, especially in the United Kingdom.
1. Place the tie around your neck with the bottom side facing out.
2. Place the wide end on your right and the thin end on your left.
3. Place the wide end lower than the thin end.
4. Cross the wide end under the thin end to the left.
5. Cross it over the knot to the right.
6. Cross it under the knot to the left.
7. Fold it into the neck loop.
8. Pass it to your right side.
9. Cross it over the knot to the left.
10. Fold it into the neckband from below.
Pass it through the loop you created in the knot. Pull the wide end to secure the knot, then slide it up toward your neck.
The St Andrew's knot is asymmetrical and ends with a slightly wider end than the half Windsor knot.
Although this is an easy knot to tie, it is still impressive from a spectator's point of view.
This is a great option if you want a thick, slightly irregular tie knot!
As the St Andrew's Knot is quite sturdy, it is best suited to medium to wide collars.
The St Andrew's knot is a clean and straightforward tie knot, so it is ideal for a professional environment.
However, if you want to make it fancier and wear it to social events, wear it with a colorful tie .
Whether you're modeling your new St Andrew's knot or styling any other knot, it's important that your knot is neat, precise and neat.
Make your bow neat, precise and neat: What's on top should be attractive and attractive, otherwise no one will want to see what's underneath.
When you're chatting with others, whether at a business or casual event, a neat tie knot will help you control your appearance.
With a polished look and the confidence that comes with it, you'll be able to immerse yourself in your conversations and connect on a deeper level with others.
A flawless knot isn't the only thing to consider when tying your knot of choice...
Let's move from the tip of the iceberg to the bottom of the iceberg. In other words, let's talk about the end of your tie!
Your tie should fall between the middle and top of your belt. If you fall into this range, you will look neat and polished.
If your tie falls above your belt, it's too short! It looks out of place and will probably attract a few unwanted glances. Or a joke or two at your expense.
If your tie falls below your belt, it's too long! Not only will your tie look awkward, but you probably won't appreciate it swinging back and forth in the below-the-belt region when you walk around.
When your tie is the right length, it is complete from end to end. From the knot to the base.
This sense of completion will make you feel more complete, which will give you more comfort and confidence when interacting with your boss or hanging out with your friends. Your St. Andrew's Knot needs a congregation, right?
Besides the knot and length, there is one other thing you should ALWAYS consider when wearing a tie...
You can have a perfectly done knot and an amazing tie length, but if your tie is NOT suitable for your outfit or the occasion, then you might as well leave the tie at home.
Before you match your tie to your outfit, make sure to match your outfit to the occasion. If you're going to an interview, think suit. If you're going to a baby shower, consider pants and a button-down shirt.
Make sure the wide end is significantly lower than the thin end at first. This is because the wide end will shorten considerably throughout the tying process.
