In this guide, we are going to
look at how to tie a Windsor Knot. The Windsor knot is a thick,
wide triangular knot which promotes confident. The Windsor knot
is one of the smartest knots, and is usually worn to interviews
and on smart uniform. Hence we use it in the ATC. We wear ties
only in our light blue, wedgwood shirt, or in the band.
Follow the steps to learn how to tie a proper Windsor knot.

Step One
First of all, ensure that your collar is up. This makes
it easier to tie the knot. Take a look at the diagram on
the left. "W" stands for wide and "N" stands for narrow.
Take the "W" part of the tie and place it around your
dominant side (the side you use to write or play
sport.). Allow enough length in the "W" side for the tie
to reach your belt buckle. Cross the "W" part over the
"N" part of the tie. |
 |
Step Two
Hold the point where "W" crosses over "N" and pull the
"W" end towards your chest and up between your collar
and the cross. |
 |
Step Three
Pull the wide end "W" underneath narrow end "N" and to
the left, back through the loop and to the left again so
that the wide end "W" is inside out. |
 |
Step Four
Bring the "W" end of the tie across to the right. |
 |
Step Five
Bring the "W" end behind the tie and back up through the
loop. |
 |
Step Six
Pull the "W" end down and through the knot you just
created |
 |
Step Seven
Using both hands, one on each Tighten the knot and pull
it up towards the collar. |
Adjusting your windsor knot - If the "W" part of the
tie is too short or too long, untie the tie and start again with
the "W" part of the tie in a more suitable position.
When taking off and untying the tie, follow these steps in
reverse order. This is to prevent the tie from distorting.
Remember, wear your uniform with pride.
