The bowtie. This bold display of personality and style should have a place in every gentleman\u2019s wardrobe. They key, however, is knowing when and where to pull it out, and of course, how to correctly tie one. So whether you\u2019ve never learned how to tie a bowtie, or simply need a refresher, this STITCHED Guide will break down the process for you step-by-step.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1<\/h1>\n

Lie the bowtie face up around your neck. It may be helpful to let one end of the bowtie hang about 1.5 inches longer, but it is ultimately up to personal preference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"step-1\"<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/h1>\n

Cross the two sides of the bow tie, forming an x, then bring the overlapping (longer) side underneath the underlying side and up through the neck loop.<\/p>\n

\"step-2\"<\/p>\n

\"step-3\"<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/span><\/h1>\n

At the joint, fold the other side (the one you did not loop) to the right, then towards the left, to create the bow shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"step-4\"<\/p>\n

Step 4<\/span><\/h1>\n

Bring the looped side straight down over the middle of the bow shape.<\/p>\n

\"step-5\"<\/p>\n

Step 5<\/span><\/h1>\n

Pinch the folded bow together, and feed the middle of the dangling end through the loop behind the bow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"step-6\"\"step-7\"\"step-8\"\"step-9\"<\/p>\n

Step 6<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0Pull on the folded parts of the bow to tighten, adjusting until balanced on both sides. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"step-10\"\"step-12\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"step-11\"<\/p>\n

Having some trouble\u00a0at first? YOU ARE NOT ALONE,\u00a0but patience is a virtue. Trust us, it only takes a couple run-throughs to get it right. No need to make any rash decisions such as resorting to a pre-tied bow. A hand-tied bowtie is a statement piece, and an ode to the STITCHED mantra: Classic, with subtle hints of irreverence.<\/p>\n

When rocking a bow tie:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Avoid pattern overload. A\u00a0patterned shirt should be paired with a solid color or minimally patterned bowtie and vice versa. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • A suit or tuxedo is not always necessary. However, throw on sport coat or suspenders to maintain\u00a0a complete look. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • People will notice.\u00a0Rock it with confidence and swagger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
