Article: It will be easier to tie your knit tie when your collar is popped up. If your collar buttons to your shirt at the tips, undo the buttons so you can lift it up. Re-button the tips once your tie is on. It's traditional to wear a tie with the top button on your shirt buttoned. Having it buttoned will also keep your collar from getting in the way when you're tying your tie. Make sure the top side of the tie is facing out. The left end of the tie should hang on one side of your chest, with the right end of the tie on the other side. The lower the left end of your tie hangs, the longer your tie will be once it's tied. When your knit tie is tied around your neck, the left end should hang at the same level as your belt. If you tie your knit tie and the left end falls above or below your belt, undo the knot you made and readjust the length.
