The Windsor knot is a popular method for tying a necktie, known for its wide and symmetrical shape. It is often chosen for formal occasions and business attire, as it creates a polished and professional appearance. The knot is named after the Duke of Windsor, who popularized it in the 1930s. To tie a Windsor knot, start with the wide end of the tie on your right side, crossing it over the narrow end. Then, wrap the wide end around and through the loop created at the neck, repeating the process to form a sturdy knot.
