The four-in-hand is a simple and easy tie knot that works well for thinner ties with traditional patterns, and pairs best with dress shirts that have narrow spread and button down collars.
- Start with the narrow side nearly to the waist. Cross wide side over.
- Cross the wide side underneath the narrow side.
- Cross over the narrow side again; bring wide side up under the chin.
- Push wide side into loop made from crosses.
- Tighten and straighten your tie. Pinche tie under knot (optional).
