Everyone and his uncle is familiar with the Windsor knot, at least in name. Drawing its name from its false attribution to the Duke of Windsor (who had a fondness for them nonetheless), this is a large, triangular knot that is created with extra loops while tying.
Those who love Windsor knots appreciate their fullness and exacting shape. Windsor knot detractors (such as James Bond, who was reported not to trust men who wore them) find them to be overly-studied and too perfect, even anal-retentive. Glenn O’Brien is quoted as saying, “The Windsor is not, typically, what one would call devil-may-care.”

3.Bowties
Start with the bow tie draped around your neck with the seams facing down and the right side longer than the left.
Place the right end over the left end, making an X-shape just below the chin.
Loop the longer end behind the ‘X’ to create a simple knot similar to the first knot while tying shoelaces. Pull tight and leave the longer end resting on your shoulder.
Placing your index finger on the widest part of the curve of the shorter end, fold it to create a bow shape. Place the folded tip across your collar with the shorter end as close to your neck as possible.
Holding the bow created above with the forefinger and thumb of your left hand, bring the longer end straight down over the shorter end in the middle of the bow.
Using your right hand, fold the longer end back towards the chest, pinch the fold and double the tip over to make a wing.
Tuck the folded tip of the longer end behind the folded tip of the shorter end and through the small loop you formed when you first passed it up behind the knot.
With the wings in place, tug the loops behind them to tighten the vertical front knot.
Hold the front of the knot down with one finger, and wriggle the wings until they're symmetrical.
Make final adjustments. Ensure your bow tie lies flat and horizontal against your collarbone. You're done! Now you know how to tie a tie AND how to tie a bow tie.

How do you tie a dimple on your tie
You may have heard of something called a “tie dimple.” This is a fold in the fabric just beneath the knot, and necktie enthusiasts tend to feel that the presence of a dimple separates the men from the boys, as it were.
A good dimple helps to hold the tie in place while giving it some added visual interest. A tie without a dimple can look like a limp fish hanging around your neck, while a tie with a dimple comes to life and is indicative of a man who’s in charge of his clothes.
You can manufacture a dimple by simply pressing one into the tie with your fingers after it’s been knotted. Ties (silk ones primarily) have “memory,” though, so over time a dimple will occur naturally.
To make a dimpled tie knot is actually quite easy. During the final step of your tie knot, right before tightening, slide a finger inside the loop and carefully fold the tie along the center. Fold the tie all the way up through the knot to ensure the dimple stays in place. Then, carefully tighten the knot while pulling out your finger. With a little bit of practice it really is that simple. If you still have difficulty making a dimple after several attempts, then try it with a different necktie. Different fabric weaves make some ties better suited for a dimpled tie knot than others.
