The main advantage of this method is its versatility.The method can be suitable for both business meetings and entertainment events. In addition, this option is one of the simplest, which can significantly reduce the preparation time. You can see the step-by-step steps below:
- Take the thick end of the tie in one hand and wrap the opposite end around it, forming a loop around it.
- Pass the part of the tie that has a triangle at the end from the bottom, pushing it into the resulting circle around the neck.
- Tighten your tie and straighten it.
Great, now you are ready to win your lady's heart or attend a serious meeting. But this is only one of the options. Let's look at other methods of tying a herring tie in more detail.
Half Windsor
This option is already more complex compared to the classic one. This method is more suitable for long herring ties, but it can be fully classified as universal. Elegance and a stylish look are guaranteed when choosing this method of tying.
- Place the tie around your neck so that the narrow tip is 30 centimeters higher.
- The wide end of the herring tie should be wrapped around the narrow one. It should be taken into account that during this process it is necessary to pull the long part slightly to the right. Fold it so that the wide part of the herring tie fits into the space between the tie and the neck.
- It is necessary to insert the longer part, that is, the wide one, into the formed “eye”. Next, you again need to thread it into the loop near the neck. The final step is to straighten and tighten the tie.
A favorite way to tie a herring tie for those who want something more versatile. This method is absolutely not limited in clothing style.
Prince Albert Knot
This method of tying a herring tie is ideal for shirts made of thin materials, as well as for those with a voluminous collar.
The herring tie must be placed on the neck in such a way that the wide part is on the left side. Next, you should place one end of the tie on top of the other and twist it around the thin part. Pull the wide side up and, threading it through the loop, repeat the action three times. Tighten and adjust.
All methods differ from each other in the method of execution and the final result. In addition, some of them are suitable only for informal settings. However, if you learn the classical method, which is one of the simplest, mastering other methods will not be difficult, since the mechanism is approximately the same, but with minor complications.
