Guide to 3 Classic Tie Knots

Tying a tie is an art itself. Whether you prefer a classic Four-in-Hand, a balanced Half Windsor, or an elegant Prince Albert knot, the right technique makes all the difference. Our step-by-step guide will help you master these iconic tie knots with style and precision.

Four-in-hand knot — This knot is popular for its simplicity and suitability for formal and casual occasions. It works especially well with narrow and button-down collars but pairs well with most ties and shirts. Whether you're dressing for the office, a dinner party, or a special occasion, the Four-in-Hand is a knot every style-conscious man should master.

Half Windsor — It is an excellent choice for ties made of lighter to medium-weight fabrics and works particularly well with shirts with a classic or slightly spread collar. The Half Windsor is a stylish compromise between the smaller Four-in-Hand and the more substantial Full Windsor knot.

Prince Albert — This knot is best suited for thinner silk ties or unlined variations, as it builds slightly more volume than a traditional Four-in-Hand. It’s the perfect choice for those who want a stylish and slightly more prominent knot without being overly formal.
