In this day and age, given the need for formal attire – jobs, interviews, weddings etc. – I think it’s safe to say that all men should know how to tie the formal attire staple; the necktie. Unfortunately, the sad truth is that most men don’t seem to navigate their way around a tie. They usually give it to their dad or their friend or that one person in the room who knows how to tie a tie. Well gentlemen, this comes to an end today. When you scroll down, you will find 3 tie knots that can cover every occasion for your necktie needs. They vary in difficulty and formality, yet they’re all pretty straightforward. “But Alpha, three knots?! I can barely learn one. Can’t I just learn one?”. Of course! But if you are going to learn just one, I recommend knot #2 The Half Windsor since it’s a very versatile knot that can be used for most occasions and isn’t too difficult. Who would I be if I didn’t give you options. Let’s get to it shall we?
