Tie Knots That Have a Power To Impress

Some men are really troubled when it comes to tying a necktie. Many of them will admit that they know only one or two tie knots. In general, one or two tie knots are quite enough to use every day for work or business meetings. 

But sometimes we get tired of wearing one and the same tie knot every day. Of course, the knots such as four-in-hand, or simple double or half-Windsor are the timeless classic, but let's consider some new, fresh and unique tie knots that can make your day.

One of the popular knots now is the Eldredge knot named after its author, Mr. Jeffrey Eldredge.
The Eldredge knot looks very extraordinary and beautiful. Its form resembles a maiden's braid in structure though it keeps a traditional triangular shape. Tying the Eldredge knot is not very easy and it requires some practice. But if you try it a couple of times and finally succeed in tying it, you'll be surprised at how many compliments and attention you'll get. Just remember that you can use only solid color or small pattern ties for tying this knot. Plaid, Paisely or striped ties don't work with the Eldredge knot as they reduce the visual appearance of this amazing knot.

If you stick to traditional tie knots though seeking for something new, one more suggestion is to try the Atlantic tie knot, also known as the Cross knot. This tie knot also looks very original and unique. It is wide and triangular in shape and it is suited for spread collar shirts.





The Christensen knot can be your second choice. It's tied similar to the four-in-hand but gives a result with much straighter sides. The Christensen knot has an unusual cross-pattern which make it stand out and drape nicely.

The Greek billionaire Aristotle Onassis is known not only for his getting married to Jacqueline Kennedy. He also created a tie knot which is named in his honor. The Onassis knot is a simple four-in-hand knot but with one additional move. To tie the Onassis knot, simply pull the wide end through the middle from the inside and let it drape loosely over the knot.
