How to tie a windsor knot
If you ever wanted a tie that knot that will make you feel like a king, the Windsor Knot is the one to do it. Also known as the Double Windsor or the Full Windsor, the Windsor Knot is the most grand and regal tie knot in our repertoire due to its full appearance. It offers a robust, wide knot size that forms a triangle appearance at the top of your necktie. Although it's widely thought to have been favoured by the Duke of Windsor, the truth is that he never wore it. The Windsor Knot was invented by the public of England who wanted to achieve a robust tie knot without the need for a thicker tie. By its history alone, the Windsor Knot boasts noble associations that will no doubt make you look and feel like royalty.
