Dear Ask Debonair,
Is there a proper way to tie a tie? If so, how do you tie it?
There is in fact no quote-un-quote proper way to tie a neck-tie. Certain knots do, however, lend themselves better to certain occassions, tie fabrics and/or collar types. There are a few classic tie knots that every man should have in his reportiore. The following are three such knots and our friends at Brooks Brothers offer an informative step-by-step guide to accomplishing each.
The Windsor (Full Windsor or Double Windsor).
