How to Tie a Tie - THE TRINITY KNOT (slow+mirrored=beginner) _ How to Tie a Trinity Knot (easy)

Hi , my name is Ben and I'm going to teach you how to tie one of the coolest knots of this generation , the Trinity knot .

All right .

So first a quick word about the type of tie you want to use .

When , when tying this knot in my experience , you want to go stripes all the way it gives it the contrast that makes it stand out .

Otherwise it just blends in and looks like any old tie .

However , when I teach this knot , I'm gonna use this tie because it , the stripes kind of make it hard to , to follow what , what I'm doing .

So we use the yellow tie .

Both of these ties are found on our website and with that , let's get started .

Um Right .

So you get your neck tie over your neck , your shirt button and your collar up .

If you're not there , get there quickly .

The Trinity knot is tied with the skinny end .

So you wanna line the wide end up to about where you wear the neck tie regularly .

I wear it at the tip of my belt .

So it's about perfect right there .

Then you cross your left hand over and pinch the wide end , cross your right hand over and pull the skinny end over the wide end .

Are you there ?

That's the first step pretty easy .

All right .

So you have the skinny end pulled in front of the wide end .

And then the second step is to take the skinny end and push it up and through the hole between your neck tie and your neck .

You pull it all the way out and then you keep the skinny end on the right side .

Then you push the skinny end behind the knot that is now forming up and through the hole between your neck tie and your neck .

But this time , the opposite way that you went through .

Last time at this point , I try to get this middle knot as tight as I can because this is gonna hold the shape of the knot and you're gonna need the length later on depending on your tie .

So now you take the skinny end and you pass it in front of that triangle that you just made and that starts to look like a , like a neck tie .

This will eventually be the bottom piece of our , of our Trinity .

Now , so now I'm going to push the skinny end up through like we've already done one time , pull it through and then I'm going to loosen this front piece .

Remember I said it was the bottom of the Trinity knot and I'm going to stick the tip of the skinny end through the cover piece , the bottom piece .

Now this is the top piece of the trinity knot .

And at this point , the skinny end is still on my left side .

Then I'm going to pass the skinny in behind one more time and then up and through the top piece and you can fish for it to the other side , pull it through just a little bit .

So at this point , the knot is tied , we are done , but we need to tighten it and tightening is particularly important when you're tying with a striped tie .

The way that is done is when you pull on this piece , the right piece , it is going to tighten the top piece .

You see that and when you pull on the top piece , it is going to tighten the bottom .

And obviously when you pull on the tip , it's going to tighten the right piece .

So remember how we put the bottom piece in place first .

So you're gonna wanna , if you need more slack , you're gonna wanna do tighten that one first and then the side one because that tightens the top , which was the second one we put in place .

And then the third one , I always like to open the bottom up a little bit .

All right .

So I just tied the training knot with the stripe type show .

You how tightening is so important right now .

The training knot looks OK ?

You can tell it's a training knot , but it looks the best when you can get the stripes to all hit the center of the knot at the same time .

And so tightening is critically important to do that .

Remember by pulling the bottom , you're gonna of the right piece , you're gonna tighten the top and by pulling the top of the top piece , you're gonna tighten the bottom .

And so this stripe already looks like it's in place .

We just need to get the top and the right aligned with it .

So to get the top aligned with it , I'm gonna get a little more slack on the top and then I'm gonna pull the right down so that those two lines kind of meet at the center of the knot and then I just pull the right piece so that it meets at the same place and where the experts practice tightening and you can get a knot that just looks fabulous of Wesley and that is the Trinity knot .

If you master this knot , post a picture or video on Instagram and tag it .
