• There are three ways to tie a necktie, providing different sizes of knot from small (essential knot) , medium (half windsor knot) to large (full Windsor knot).
• The option is dependent on fashion and personal choices, and affected by the types of shirt collars.
• In general, a essential knot fits tag and pinhole collars, a half windsor knot suits regular collars, and a full windsor knot matchs wide-spread collars (windsor collars); Button-down and short point collars normally tie small or half windsor knot; Wing collars harmonize with bow ties and standup collars go well without any tie.
