TGIF! As we now bask in the afterglow of the Superb Owl and Galentine’s Day, it’s important to focus on the important things. That’s right, we are mere days from the glorious return of Sunday Gravy!
Survival – Personal Edition
Now that our collective Corporate Overlords are pushing for a return to office, it’s time to brush up on getting dressed. Specifically, let’s remember how to tie some ties! First, the classic Half-Windsor Knot!
- Drape that tie over your neck, fat side on the right, label towards your chest.
- Adjust the tie so the fat part is about a foot lower than the skinny side.
- Pass the fat side across the front of the skinny part, then wrap around the back so the label is facing away from your chest.
- Lift the fat side up and tuck over the tie loop at your neck. Label should still be facing away.
- Pass the fat side across the front of the skinny part, again. This time twist the fat side so the label is now facing your chest.
- Life the fat side up under the tie loop at your neck. The fat side should now be in front of your face with the label facing away.
- Tuck the fat side through the tie knot. Tug until snug. Make the skinny side is shorter than the fat side and not twisted around.
So that’s the easy one. Let’s up the ante and tie a bow tie!
- Drape the tie around your neck, left side about 2 inches lower than the right.
- Pass the left side over the right, then pull up and under the loop at your neck. Drape over your shoulder for now.
- Put your right index finger on your chin. Take the right side, and wrap around around your finger to fold in half. The fattest part should be the edge of the fold when your finger is removed.
- Take the left side that’s still draped over your shoulder, and hang it over the now doubled up right side.
- Bring up that left side, folding it over itself.
- Now, poke that folded up left side through the know behind the front loop. Be careful not to push it all the way through!
- To tighten, tug on each loop, then tug the side of the loop in the back towards the end. Repeat until tight.
There you go! You’re now ready to head back into the office looking formal. Wait, hold on! You did put on pants and a collared shirt first, right?
