Out of the 3 different types of Windsor knots, the double Windsor can be the most difficult to tie. But it's a more balanced knot that gives a polished look.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Raise the collar of your shirt. Wrap the tie around the back of your neck so that the wider end hangs down on the side of your dominant hand--a little more than twice as low as the thinner end.

  2. Step 2

    Take the wide end and cross it once over the front of the thin end of the tie, and then wrap it around the back of the thin end a few inches below your neck.

  3. Step 3

    Slide the wide end through the back of the v-shape made by the knot. Pulli it out the front of the v-shape toward your non-dominant hand.

  4. Step 4

    Wrap the wide end around the knot on the non-dominant side. Continue to wrap the wide end around to the front of the knot on the dominant hand side.

  5. Step 5

    Slide the wide end through the front of the v-shape made by the knot, pulling it out the back of the v-shape toward your dominant hand.

  6. Step 6

    Wrap the wide end around the knot.

  7. Step 7

    Pull the wide end through the back of the v-shape formed by the knot.

  8. Step 8

    Tuck the wide end down through the front loop of the knot.

  9. Step 9

    Pull down gently on the wide end from below the knot until the knot is tight.

  10. Step 10

    Grasp the thin end with your non-dominant hand and slide the knot up to your neck.

  11. Step 11

    Flip your collar down.
