It is a perfect knot for wide-spread collar dress shirts. Since this type of knot needs two wrappings, more length of the tie is needed. This can make it challenging to tie the tie to the right length — so that the tip of the tie ends near the center of your belt buckle.

This is especially the case when tall men or men with a larger neck size try to tie a double Windsor knot with a regular length tie. If this sounds familiar to you then you may want to consider wearing XL length ties. Lay the tie around your neck so that the wide end of your tie hangs down about inches longer than the narrow end. Cross the wide end over the narrow end. Loop the necktie through the gap between neck and unfinished tie knot.

Pull it all the way around and then back behind the narrow end. Pull the wide end back through in between neck and unfinished knot. The Prince Albert knot is, just like the Full Windsor knot, a so-called double knot that required at least two wrappings. But unlike the double Windsor, the Prince Albert knot is wrapped in the same direction making the knot slightly longer and a little more asymmetric looking.

It is a perfect tie knot for thinner neckties, or for shorter men that need a shorter length tie. Place the wide end over the narrow end and wrap around. Do this twice or more. The more wrappings the larger the tie knot will be. On the final wrapping create a loop in front of the finished necktie knot. Take the wide end of the tie and pull it in between your neck and the tie and through the loop. The true necktie aficionado takes his time when tying his ties. The knot has to be perfect.

What makes a tie knot perfect? First of all the type of knot chosen has to match the tie design, as well as the collar shape of the dress shirt. In addition, the perfect knot has a dimpled look — meaning it has a crevice right where the tie goes inside of the knot.

To make a dimpled tie knot is actually quite easy. During the final step of your tie knot, right before tightening, slide a finger inside the loop and carefully fold the tie along the center. Fold the tie all the way up through the knot to ensure the dimple stays in place. Then, carefully tighten the knot while pulling out your finger.

With a little bit of practice it really is that simple. If you still have difficulty making a dimple after several attempts, then try it with a different necktie. This knot is the perfect choice for medium-width and thick ties. It is the most versatile and popular tie knot. When I'm asked how to tie a tie, the Full Windsor Knot is always mentioned. Also known as the Double Windsor, the Full Windsor has a large, triangular symmetric shape and is perfect for wide spread collars, and on men with a large neck.

Additional tie length is required for the Windsor knot because of the two wrappings. Tall men with a larger neck size will need a tie that measures between 61 — 64 inches.
