Ties: Windsor Knot - Save on Suits and Formalwear with TM Lewin Promo Codes
This thick, wide knot is one of the simpler knots and should be used for job interviews, presentations and anything more formal than just a day at work.Firstly, start with the tie around your neck, with wide end of tie (on the right) hanging around a foot below the narrow end. Cross the two ends, with the wide end on top. Bring the wide end up and loop through between your tie and collar and back down. Then, pull the wide end under the narrow end, back through the same loop and to the right. Bring it across from right to left, up through the loop and down through the knot. Tighten the knot by bringing it up towards your collar. You can get a great selection of ties and other menswear, plus 10% off everything with TM Lewin voucher codes!
Ties: Four in Hand Knot - Save on Delivery with Vouchers from Stuarts London
This next knot is particularly popular with office guys as it's a bit less in your face than the Windsor. Follow the first few steps of the Windor knot, but then instead of looping it between the collar, turn the wide end back underneath the narrow end and then bring it back over in front of the narrow end. Pull the wide end up through the loop and down through the front loop. Tighten the knot by sliding it up towards your neck. For a great selection of premium menswear, you can also take a look at our Stuarts London voucher codes Plus, you can also take advantage of free UK delivery!Cravat: Ascot - Fantastic Deals on Suits with Burton Shopping Vouchers
Put the cravat around your neck with both ends at an equal height, then cross the right end over the left, loop underneath and bring back down until the end is sitting over the left end. Take the top end and bring behind the other end, and back up through the loop. Pull tight and pin the shorter end above the longer end.

Cravat: Day Cravat - Save Up to 66% on Selected Menswear with Suits Direct Vouchers
This style of cravat is much more relaxed and can be worn at just about any event for a splash of colour. It's a loose knot and doesn't dangle like a standard tie.
To achieve this casual look, position the cravat around your neck with both ends at an even height. Fold the right end over the left, then pull the left whilst holding the right still. Pull the left end down and rest it on top of the right end and adjust until you're happy. The Scrunchie cravat is another popular way to tie a cravat, but this can be done exactly the same as the 'four in hand' method, creating a different look.
Whether it's a formal occasion, or just updating your work wardrobe, you can save up to 66% on shirts and ties with voucher codes for Suit Direct.
