Whats the best way to tie a tie?

Depends on the width of the tie, the shape of the tie (lots of cut or not so much), the collar of your shirt and how it lays.

 
my dads gonna tie it

but hes about as professional dressing as i am...

the half windsor seems like the best bet so far i think
 
if its a wider tie, go with a wider knot. The stiffer and newer the tie is makes it easier to make the knot wider. Id its a skinny tie go with a skinny knot.
 
NOOO! thats the worst. I fucking hate when I see people wearing a skinny tie with a skinny ass knot. Its soo unsightly and looks horrendous, no class. /rant
 
Half windsor all the way. Compliments a spread collar nicely. For a button down collar I would say four in hand knot.
 
here, this might help

depends on the collar. and the diameter of your neck looking in the mirror, 2d. 4 in hand is easiest, i like the half windsor. fits my neck well and works nice with a spread collar. only wear a spread collar if you have a narrow face and a more traditional collar points down shirt if you have a wide face. wearing a spread collar with a wide/fat face makes your face look fatter.
 
ok i found this picture, this is me, i'll be wearing the same shirt, the only difference is that i had to get a green tie

and the people at mens warehouse tied that other one for me, so im lost

also pull the tie tighter, and use your fingers and bring the tip as close as to the top of the collar, where the fold begins, and then hold the tie out horizontally with your hand and tighten it, then let the tie fall flat, you don't want to tie pressed against your shirt, but sticking more out, it creates definition rather than just being pressed flat which is boring.
 
Thats a Half Windsor in your picture. Looks pretty solid, my favorite knot, can't go up to the full windsor with that shirt but try to pinch the sides and make the knot into a Y shape like people do with the full windsor. Boss status
 
your angry settle down skinny ties only work on skinny dudes. big dudes in skinny ties look foolish. all i tie is the half windsor. full windsor is just too much knot. but in all seriousness bowtie
 
haha thanks for the input ian but seriously, fucking hate when people have skinny ties with skinny knots, not matter the size of the guy
 
Full windsor. I always find the half becomes bit mishapen after a little while. However it depends - if it is a thin tie it is better with a thinner knot, but hopefully your not wearing a thin tie...
 
BOW TIE.

shit is so hot right now.

but otherwise the half-windsor served me spectacularly for 5 years of everyday tie wearing
 
it really depends on the thickness of the fabric used to make the tie that dictates the size of the knot. a thicker fabric tie is easier to make the dimple at the top near the knot, but it also limits you to the half windsor, but it does depend on the size of your next also.
 
Windsor like a boss! i have to wear ties all the time for school, old people events, and other things MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION do.
it gets the proper attention you need, and you look like a straight up pimp. women love it.
 
the music in that video sounds like the backround music from mario 64's dire dire docks level
