OK so Windsor Knots look great… but who can ever remember how to do them?!

The Windsor Knot, produces a wide triangular knot and lets be honest it’s the only knot that will do your Amalfi Shirt justice. While it is a common held belief that the Windsor Knot is worn for more formal business shirt occasions, we at Amalfi Shirts chanllenge you to find a better knot for any occasion…

Some pointers:

  • Wide end should be 15cm longer than thin end and cross wide end over the front.
  • Bring the wide end through the loop that’s been made between the tie and the collar.
  • Pull the wide end underneath the narrow end and to the left then pull the wide end back through the loop and to the left again so that the wide end is inside out.
  • Now bring wide end across the front from left to right and pull wide end up through the loop again.
  • Bring wide end down through the knot in front and you’re done!

The best way to remove your Windsor knot is to follow the steps taken to do it up but in reverse order, sound easy!! Good luck with this one, you’ll get the hang of this with practice.
