How to Tie a Necktie for Beginners2021/2/24

For some of you who are thinking about job hunting in Japan, it may be your first time wearing a suit.
It is common to wear a necktie during job interviews in Japan.
In this article, I would like to introduce the basic plain knot knot for neckties.

Plain knot

This is a style that works well with a standard regular collar shirt.
It is characterized by a hard, small knot and is the easiest knot to tie.
If this is your first time wearing a tie, master the plain knot.

From the front

From diagonally above.

Explanation

1. Take the longest part of the wide end and cross it so that the wide end side is on top of the small sword.
2. Turn the top layer of the wide end around from the back.
3. Bring it from the back to the front.
4. Thread the wide end through the looped part from the top.

5. Shape the knot so that it is tight and small.
   At this point, you can create dimples to make it look more three-dimensional
6. Pull the narrow end upwards to finish.
