This is your opportunity to learn to tie your own tie, and a chance to leave the clip on at home. First, before you begin, you must pick out the tie that is right for you. These days, there are many different styles and colors that will match just about anyone s personality. Before even attempting to tie your necktie, you must first fiddle with your shirt. Make sure you have a dress shirt, and make it is buttoned all the way to the top.
Some people hate buttoning the top button, but it is essential to tying a necktie.
You could always loosen it later, once everything is in place. Once your buttons are buttoned, flip up the collar to make it easier to get the tie around your neck. Warp the tie around your collar, with the seam facing down. With most ties, there is a thick side and a thin side. If your are right handed, the thick side should go on the right side.
