Which necktie knot do you go with? It has to make an impression, but not be flashy. It needs to convey power, confidence, and authority. The choice is simple: the full Windsor (also sometimes called just the Windsor or the bouble Windsor). It&#8217;s on the larger end of necktie knots, maintains a classic feel, and shows that you mean business.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, it&#8217;s a knot that is to be worn for more formal occasions and meetings. Think weddings, very important business meetings or pitches, and, should you find yourself in the highest echelons of politics, presidential debates.<\/p>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s a large knot, the Windsor should be worn with a spread collar. For men who are stout, or have wider faces and necks, the knot will look appropriately proportional with your build and mug, and should be your go-to tie knot.<\/p>\n<p><em>Learn how to tie other necktie knots:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/featured\/how-to-tie-a-four-in-hand-necktie-knot-your-60-second-visual-guide\/\">Four-in-Hand<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/featured\/how-to-tie-a-half-windsor-knot\/\">Half-Windsor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/ties\/how-to-tie-a-tie\/\">Shelby<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/style\/ties\/how-to-tie-a-simple-oriental-necktie-knot\/\">Simple<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Like this illustrated guide?
