Why You Need To Know How To Tie A Bow Tie
Honestly, being able to tie a bow tie is what separates the men from the boys, and every man must know how to tie a bow tie. It’s like knowing how to ride a bike, how to cook a steak or how to tie a tie – it is essential knowledge. You can also watch the video on youtube: How To Tie A Bow Tie Step by Step.
Pre-Tied Or Clip-on Bow Ties Are Not Acceptable
Only boys at prom wear pre-tied bow ties or clip-on bow ties. You should never wear one because it’s too symmetrical making you look fake and cheap.
The Perfect Bow Tie Is Slightly Asymmetrical
Elegant men like Winston Churchill would always wear their bow tie slightly askew which shows the true character of a perfectly tied bow tie: it is not symmetrical.

I liked the concept of your demonstration. However, your captions were in front of you demonstration, blocking your name movements. Is there a method of (re)moving the captions?
Captions are something that the user enables or disables by clicking the CC button in youtube.
Thank you Sven! After years of semi-dexterous fiddling about this is an elegant, quick way to perfection.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the great video sir, what are the rules to wearing a bow tie regarding formality, materials, occasions.
did you already do an article on that if yes please refer
If no pls throw some light on the issue.
Thanks again
In the pipeline.
Great video as usual!
I was wondering if you could show a video on how to tie a single ended bow tie? I have got one, but so far unable to tie it properly.
Thanks!
Yes, we will do that in our advanced bow tie video.
Allow me to suggest that the best way to learn how to tie a bow tie is to stand in front of a mirror and have someone who knows how to tie one stand behind you and tie your bow tie. I have done this for several friends, and I can assure you that it works better than any video or any diagrams, no matter how good they may be.
Most people don’t have that friend when they need him. This video works for sure ;).
So I purchased my first bow tie a couple of weeks ago. I tried tying it according to some directions I found…didn’t work.
I tried this method…voila…it worked just as advertised.
Thank you Sven!
I have been wearing bow ties for a while and never knew about this. I had a chance to use this tip recently and it made a world of difference. I tied the bow more quickly and tied a neater looking bow than I have ever done before. Thank you for this great tip!
