The groom does not have as many wedding dresses as the bride. An originally tied tie can become a highlight in the costume of the future husband and earner.
How to tie a tie to the wedding of the groom
Tying a tie is a real art, it is recommended that both gentlemen and ladies master it.
What are the ways to help a man not only to tie the necessary wedding attribute correctly, but also to choose the right tie for the wedding?
Simple knot "4 in hand"
This is an asymmetric node, it has an irregular triangular shape, looks more like a cone. The wide end of the tie on the right is superimposed on the narrow one, the back, then the front, and all that remains is to pass it through the loop formed, pull the thick end down, then to the left and raise the bundle above the loop.
Prince Albert Double Node
This method is relevant for simple long ties. Named due to double knotting.
In fact, this is the same usual method of tying “4 in the hand,” only with an extra revolution around the narrow part of the tie. The knot becomes more voluminous, it is appropriate on a high collar. If you tie a tie for the wedding with this method, you can achieve a spectacular appearance. This image looks very elegant.
East knot
It also has the names “Red”, “Small Knot” or “Oriental”. Suitable for heavy ties. Tying is easier than a simple knot. The narrow end of the product is placed on top of the wide, then wide - around the narrow and fits to the left. Through the neck loop, it is precisely the wide end that is held behind the knot, then we draw it again through the loop from top to bottom. It seems that this method is really the easiest. However, it is unlikely to tie a tie perfectly the first time. You need to train, starting with the node "4 in the hand."
Windsor knot
This tie for the groom is designed for shirts with a wide collar in the official business style.
This is a volumetric node. You can achieve the required size by changing ties with different widths or by varying the ends of a regular tie to the site of the knot.
Node "Semi-Windsor"
Suitable for any tie made of silk or light heavy fabric, the collar should be with wide apart corners, possibly attached with buttons to the shirt. This is the so-called "open" collar. The principle of tying is similar to Windsor, but the knot is less voluminous and with a dimple under it, which gives piquancy to the whole image.
Pratt or Shelby Knot
The node has a double name, since there is still debate about who owns the idea of its creation - either to the American Jerry Pratt, or the European Don Shelby.
The method of tying is similar to “Windsor” and also requires space for its volume, which is achieved due to the tie with a filler.
Hannover Node
This is a symmetrical node. The shape is triangular. Ideal for the widest possible collars. In size, it is larger than the "Windsor" site. There are two nuances when tying: a tie is seamed outward, and the wide end remains longer than the narrow one. The principle of tying is double overlapping, due to which the desired volume is achieved.
Onassis node
Starting position is a simple knot. Then you need to take the wide end of the tie to the right side and throw it through the entire node. No need to tighten. Let it hang freely.
Thus, the node itself is as if hiding from prying eyes. Smirits unusual. The method is named after Aristotle Onassis, a millionaire, owner of ships and steamboats, a man who possessed the style and knew how to properly wear a man’s tie. At a wedding, a tie tied in this way will be a great addition to the overall look.
Node "New Classic"
It is also based on a simple way to tie a tie. The difference is the final touch. Before tucking the wide side of the tie into a knot, you need to wrap the edges of this side on both sides, then tuck it in, as in a simple knot. It turns out quite unusual. Before you tie a tie for a wedding in this way, you should pick up a shirt from silk.
Freestyle Node
If you own a simple node and Windsor, it’s worth nothing to tie Freestyle. The knot is very elegant, easy to use. Looks flawlessly on silk ties with filler.
Balthus Node
This is the largest node of all available.
In order to decide how to tie a tie for a wedding in this way, pay attention to the length of the product. The principle of tying is complex, and a beginner cannot cope with it.
Kristensen Knot (Square, Italian)
At first, in the 19th century, the Christensen knot was designed for ties that were equally wide along the entire length. Invented by his manufacturer of ties in Europe Amanda Christensen.
Today, this knot is relevant for all long ties. Ideally, this should be a woolen or cashmere tie on a shirt with a high collar. Knowing how the Windsor assembly is performed, one can also master this method by making two more turns in front.
Nuances when choosing a tie for the groom
Before you tie a tie for the wedding, you need to take into account all the subtleties of the costume, as well as the figure of the groom:
- Men of medium height and tall, normal build, any tie is suitable. To a tall thin man - wide or with a large pattern, a tall large man - a wide tie with a large pattern, short and in the body, a man should wear ties with a vertical strip or a small pattern.
- The tie should match the color of the suit: plain ties will suit suits with ornaments and geometry, light and bright - for dark suits. Dark is worn only with a light shirt and a contrastingly dark suit, and if the groom's suit is traditionally light, then the tie is matched to the tone. The tone should be different: either lighter or darker.
- The tie should match the accessories of the bride.
- The length of the tie should be either slightly higher than the strap on the trousers, or the end of the tie should half cover the buckle.
- A tie should look harmonious either with a scarf in a pocket or with a buttonhole of the groom.
- The material for a wedding tie can be different, the main principle is nobility. It is better to choose silk or jacquard.
Whatever tie the groom chooses, no matter how tied up he is, it is important that the entire suit looks harmonious.
Conclusion
Before you tie a tie for a wedding, you should decide on the general style and image. In turn, the shirt also plays an important role, since if it is thin and airy with a short collar, then heavy ties will definitely not work. And, of course, it is important to remember the style of the bride’s dress.
