anybody else like wearing neckties?

[yne721 10+ year member]

i just went out and spent like 200 on a bunch of new neckties, just because i like dressing up, but it's too costly to wear a suit everyday. anyone have any nice necktie collections?

i also had a question about one of the knots i use..i primarily use the half windsor or windsor, but i've been using the windsor a lot more recently, anyone familiar with troubleshooting the windsor knot? i have this problem every now and then when i tie it, but it's random and i don't know how to fix it...

I love dressing up! Full windsor is definitely my favorite knot, but I can tie most of them just perfectly. Let me see a pic of your problem.

if everyone wore neckties that would be awesome, that way, if someone pisses you off you just grap their tie and hank so they face plate LOL.

i liek dressing up randomly, just not everyday.

I just rock the standard

around the tree

around the tree

up the tree

down the tree knot

I tried tying the other knots, but they are more trouble than its worth it seems.

that's the half. IMO the full windsor is easier to tie lol.

Once you learn the other knots, it's hard to forget them.

The only necktie I know anything about is the:

Columbian Necktie.

that's the problem, is since i don't know how it happens, i can't do it on purpose to take a picture.

i guess the best way to explain it is the tie kind of tilts left. like if i lean forward and i'm not wearing a tie clip, the tie will flip left... lol i don't know.

usually i catch it before i walk out the door, i'll just retie it real fast. but every now and then, i'll just check my knot to make sure it's right, then just walk.

How so? A full windsor is a half windsor with more steps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I saw someone today at work with a "kid's knot". It made me lol.

Sounds like you're getting it off centered when you tie it.

for sure.

I taught myself how to tie my own out of neccessity. I would love to wear a full windsor, but never could get it to come out right
