Article: Be sure to practice a couple of times before you need to wear your tie. Like any other tie, tying a bow tie properly takes a little practice. Don't be discouraged if you don't get the perfect tie at first. Tighten the loops until you have adjusted the tie to your satisfaction. Pulling at the flat ends will only untie your tie. Make sure the finished bow falls somewhere between the outer edges of your eyes and the width of your face. If not, you may need to adjust your knot, or the length of your bow tie. It is supposed to look that way. The small irregularities found in a self-tied bow tie give it charm. And the natural look of a self-tied bow tie helps it to stand out from the cookie-cutter look of ready-tied versions. This is the proper way to wear a tie with a wing collar according to etiquette. Also, this positioning helps to hold the tie in place.

What is a summary?
Tie your bow tie. Pull at the loops carefully. Check the length of the bow. Do not worry if your tie is slightly asymmetric when tied. If wearing a wing collar shirt, tuck the wings of the collar behind the bowtie.
