Have you tried to tie a tie, only to end up with a tangled mess in your hands? Starting with these step-by-step instructions for a simple, four-in-hand knot; a sharp-looking tie; a mirror; and some patience, you can become proficient at tying your tie for maximum class, professionalism, and style. See image

Steps

Stand in front of the mirror with your collar up, your shirt buttoned all the way to the top, and the tie around your neck. The thick end of the tie should be on the side of your dominant hand. So if you're right-handed, the wider end should be hanging on your right side.
Spot the seam Look for a seam on the front of the narrow end of the tie.
Crossed at the seam Move the thick end over the narrow end so they cross each other on the seam .
Pull the thick end behind the narrow end, bring it around, and lay it over the narrow end again.

Behind the narrow end...

...and over
Repeat. Wrap the thick end around the narrow end once more, just as described in the previous step.
Behind the knot, through the loop Pull the thick end of the tie all the way through the loop around your neck.
Pull the thick end down through the knot.
Tighten the knot by sliding it up the narrow end. Make sure your tie is straight and the length is appropriate.

Tips

Make a rhyme to help you remember , such as: "Over, under, around and through."
To make a dimple, hold the top blade on both edges and then pull it down gently until the top blade starts to tighten. A slight convex should appear close to the knot. Use your thumb and forefinger to press the bottom of the knot into a V-shape and the convex will deepen to form the dimple.
There are different type of knots you can tie, some of which are more appropriate to formal occasions (like the Windsor knot), while others are casual.

Warnings

Do not let anybody pull the large bit of the tie after it has been prepared. This is called a "tie wedgie" among other things at private schools that require ties. It makes the tie very difficult to take off.
Remember to button up your top button - you will look daft if you don't.
Also remember to reverse the instructions to untie the tie, rather than pulling the thin end through to avoid stretching and prematurely wearing out your tie.
