How To

For a job interview

Tie a Tie

Knowing how to tie a tie is essential for all men today.

The following are instructions on how to tie a tie for a job interview

TIE KNOT• The four most commonly used tie knots are:

– the four-in-hand knot, – the half-Windsor knot, – the Windsor knot and – the Pratt knot.

All of them are suitable to wear to job interviews.

• However, a larger and more symmetric tie knot is preferred. A larger tie knot can give you a more confident look while a symmetric one looks elegant. As the four-in-hand is a small and asymmetric tie knot, it is less preferred.

• Choose a tie knot that fits the collar opening of the shirt. For example, a small tie knot like the four-in-hand suits shirts with a narrow collar opening, while a large tie knot like the Windsor suits shirts with a wide collar opening.

• Practice tying a tie beforehand, especially for more complicated tie knots like the Windsor.

• Regarding the ideal length of your tie, the tip of the wider end should be at the same level as the bottom of your belt buckle.

TIE LENGHT

TIE COLOR AND PATTERN• Tie color and pattern should be

conservative and non-distracting.

• Ties with dark colors are preferred. For example, dark blue and dark red.

• Ties with solid colors or subtle patterns such as stripes and dots are preferred. Stay away from fashion extremes such as ties with pictures.

TIE FABRIC

•Choose a silk tie or silk blend tie.

TIE ACCESSORIES• Tie accessories like tie bars and tie clips might

be worn to keep the tie in place. However, you should make sure that its color and shape are conservative and non-distracting. For example, a rectangular tie bar is more appropriate than a pen-shape one.
