HOW TO TIE A BOW-TIEThe bow-tie is the most classic of all ties.

Lift shirt collar.

Place bow-tie

around collar and

have both sides

hang side-by-side

with both ends at

the bottom parallel

with one another.

1

Cross the right end

over the left end.

2

Loop the right end that

you crossed over, under

and over the left, using

the top center button of

your shirt as your center

point, so that both ends

are resting directly above

each other with the ends

parallel at the bottom.

To begin to form

the bow-tie, take

the end in the

back and position

it horizontally in

front of the end

that was hanging

in the front.

Take the front end

and with your thumb,

gently guide it

through the hole in

the back to finish

forming the bow-tie.
