How To Tie A Tie?

To figure out how to tie a tie, have a look at this website: www.scoutdb.org It shows four different styles for tying a tie, including a bowtie.

The necktie evolved from the cravat, which originated in the 1600's. The cravat was a piece of cloth worn around the neck for style and also practicality. It was worn by Croatian soldiers to keep their uniforms from becoming soiled. Before the days of wash and wear (or dry-cleaning) this was important!

As important as tying a tie properly is choosing the right one. The average length for a tie is about 54 inches. If you are especially tall, you might want to choose a longer one. One of the more desirable fabrics for a tie is silk. Signs of quality are a soft and silky feel and construction from three pieces of fabric rather than two. When shopping for a tie, you might want to take along the shirt or suit that you plan to wear it with. Everyone has their own taste but a good rule is that usually stripes and polka dots don't go together!
