The Windsor Knot

The Windsor Knot is the knot for special occasions. Typically English, it owes its name to the Duke of Windsor who made it popular. Because the finished knot has considerable volume, it is preferable to restrict its use to spread or cut away collars. This knot is complicated to tie and the knot takes up a lot of the tie, so typically, Windsor knots are used with printed neckwear as opposed to woven neckwear.
