BEST KNOT FOR A SKINNY..

Typically it is the goal to tie a tie knot so that the tie hangs straight, and that the knot itself is either symmetric (for the full Windsor tie knot), or has the popular dimple (best suited for the Four in Hand tie knot). For skinny ties, it is preferred to have a “non-perfect tie knot”. Instead the knot should be slightly loose. The tie also doesn’t have to hang straight, and instead of one dimple, multiple crinkles at the knot are preferred.

The best suited tie knot for skinny ties is the simple and most common tie know: The Four in Hand knot. The four in Hand knot is the oldest tie knot that originally was invented in Britain dueing the end of the 19th Century. Ever since, the Four in Hand is the most commly ted knot for ties - regualr sized ties, skinny ties, or even extra long ties.

 The reason the four in Hand tie knot is so popular is because it is first of all quite simple to master. In fact it is often times referred to as the simple knot. In additon it is a tie knot that simply looks best for tradtionally striped ties such as British Regimental stripes ties. It is also a preferred knot when wearing a shirt with a more narrow collar spread.
