When I was learning how to tie a bow tie a few years ago, I was disappointed with the illustrated how-to guides out there. So <a href=\"https:\/\/storytellersworkshop.com\/\">Ted Slampyak<\/a> and I put our heads together to create the visual how-to guide on bow tying I wish I had had when I was learning. While we think it does a good job of showing how to tie a bow tie, it will still take some practice and trial and error before you get it down pat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23842 size-full\" title=\"How to Tie the Bow Tie\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/\/2012\/04\/Bow-Tie-1.jpg\" alt=\"Basic steps illustrated to tie a bow tie.\" width=\"900\" height=\"729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bow-Tie-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bow-Tie-1-768x622.jpg 768w, https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bow-Tie-1-320x259.jpg 320w, https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bow-Tie-1-640x518.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With this guide and a bit of practice, you&#8217;ll be rocking a bow tie just like my man, <a href=\"https:\/\/healthywayoflife2018.wordpress.com\/\">Charles Osgood<\/a>. I love CBS Sunday Morning.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Star with bow tie around neck, allowing the left end (end A) to be a little longer than the right (end B). Cross the left end over the right end.<\/li>\n<li>Take end A and tuck it up in the hole between your neck and the bow tie.<\/li>\n<li>Fold end B at widest part, holding it sideways. It should look bow-shaped.<\/li>\n<li>Drop end A over folded end. Fold end A up.<\/li>\n<li>The tricky part. Pass folded end A under and behind folded end B on your left and through the loop behind folded end B<\/li>\n<li>Tighten know by holding both folded ends and pulling carefully.
