The Method
The best method for tying a good knot is to start with your shirt fastened up all the way to the top button with the collar up. Whether you have the wide end of the tie on the left or right side is just a matter of choice and of course if you are left or right handed.
Always try to keep the knot as tight as possible while tying your tie. After you have tied the knot and put the collar down it should be in the middle of your collar and the wide end of your tie should ideally touch or be just above your waistline. If you don't get to your satisfaction the first time simply unknot your tie and try again, tying the perfect knot takes practice, but it is definitely worth the effort.
The Dimple
It has always been recommended that a good knot should have a dimple, this is the little indentation directly below the knot. The best way to make a good dimple is to make it just before you tighten the knot.
If you put your index finger into the fabric directly under the knot while lightly squeezing the side of the fabric, you then tighten the knot by pulling down on the wider end of the tie. For the finishing touch, try to make sure dimple is centred in the middle under the knot.
The Knots
