Choosing the Right Knot for the Job

Not all knots are created equal or work for all situations. Size, symmetry and shape vary greatly from knot to tie knot and all should be taken into consideration. Thicker ties often necessitate the use of smaller knots like the Four-in-Hand or the Simple knot. Thin neckties usually benefit from larger knots like the Pratt or Windsor. But every knot has a distinct character – so it’s about choosing the know that speaks to your personal style and outfit. The Prince Albert swaggers with a refined elegance. The Kelvin is the wild child that will always provide the unexpected. Every knot serves its master differently. Try a few knots. Experiment. Play. Your necktie will thank you, your ensemble will evolve.
