The four-in-hand is the most classic of tie knots: simple, versatile, and always in style. Perhaps the easiest knot to master, the four-in-hand is slightly asymmetrical and produces a smaller knot than the full or Half-Windsor. Though not suitable for the most formal occasions, this knot's simplicity makes it the most common way to wear a tie in the Western world. For best results, wear the four-in-hand knot with one of our cutaway, narrow or rounded collars.
