Corporate life: How to Tie a Tie

man tieing tie.jpgHow comforting it is to read that in these days of economic crisis, the most frequently asked question on Google's "How to" is "How to tie a tie?"
 
Not "How do I find a new job?" or "How do I get rid of these worthless shares?"
 
The question of tie-tieing leads to this informative video clip which leads you in no doubt as to how to produce a Full Windsor or a Half Windsor. It's a lot more helpful than the neighbouring clips on "Men's Fashion: How to Wear Jeans," or "A Men's Guide To How To Look Good On The Beach."

There's quite useful way of tieing ties devised by Americans. Naturally, I derided it at first, as it wasn't handed down to me by my father. It is counter-intuitive. You start with the tie the WRONG WAY ROUND, with the seam facing AWAY from your shirt. Anyway, it works really well with silk ties that tend to slip using conventional four-in hand and both types of Windsor. I apologise and concede that there is one area where American ingenuity has eclipsed that of the UK.
