The Simple Knot, or Oriental Knot, is the easiest method of executing a tie knot. Involving the fewest amount of steps and the least amount of fabric manipulations, the Simple Knot is the most practical way to make it out the front door and to work on time in the morning!

ABOUT THIS KNOT

The Simple Knot is the most widely worn knot in Asia. Although it doesn't retain universal popularity, the Simple Knot is one of the most versatile knots you can possibly wear. Because of its compact, sleek knot size, it's appropriate to wear to corporate settings as well as formal engagements.

Top Tips for the Simple Knot

The Simple Knot is best paired with narrow collar shirts to avoid gaps between the knot and the collar of the shirt. Because of the Simple Knot's small size, it's best reserved for thicker ties that need a bit of balancing out. The Simple Knot is also a great choice for shorter ties that need to retain as much length as possible.

Best Places to wear the Simple Knot

The Simple Knot is synonymous with "boardroom chic" due to its time-efficient nature. It's the best way to suit up quickly in the morning and make it to work on time. However, if you wish to wear it outside of the boardroom, you can pair it with a tailored jacket to give it a heightened sense of sophistication.
