00:00 Intro
In this video, I'm going to show you how to tie a bow tie the easy way. Every man should be able to tie his own bow tie. Only boys at prom wear pre-tied bow ties or clip-on bow ties. You should never wear that, it shows, it's too symmetrical, it's too perfect, it looks cheap.
00:29 Slightly-Skewed Bowtie
Elegant men like Winston Churchill would always wear their bow tie slightly skewed and that shows the true character of a perfectly tied bow tie. It is not symmetrical. In recent years, bow ties have become much more popular and this is the easiest way to tie it.
00:52 Adjustable Bowtie
If you have an adjustable bow tie, adjust to the right length. Usually, you use the neck size that you have for your shirt but you can play around with it.
01:02 Fixed-Length Bowtie
If you go for a fixed length bow tie like the black bow ties from Fort Belvedere, you won't need to adjust anything. Once it's adjusted, throw it around your neck, flop down your collar, and button the top button. You may want to pull on the inside so it looks neat. Alright, this is how you tie it. First, the left side of your bow tie to be about an inch or one and a half inches longer than your right one.
01:30 How to Tie a Bowtie
So, the long end goes over the short end. Pinch with your left hand. Now, the longer end goes up through the hole and you pull it tight. Now, your right hand, you leave your bow tie here. With your left hand, you hold that end of the bow tie and you bring your index finger between your body and the bow tie and you move it over to create a bow-tie shape which you can see here.
Now with your right hand, bring the other piece in, the longer piece, and fold it over. Now it really looks like a bow tie from the front. So what I do now is I take this part of the bow tie and hold it together like so. Now I switch my hands and what I can see now is that I created a hole back here and this is where this part has to go through.
Now I create another bow tie shape here and I do that with my fingers like so, fold it up so I get a shape similar to a bow tie and I just push it through that little hole recreated. Now, I pull the folded ends so it tightens the knot of my bow tie, and there you go, the bow tie.

Totally agree! I've been trying on and off to tie my bowtie correctly and totally nailed it (well, in comparison) after watching this video.
I think the offset position of the camera helped with demonstrating the movements.
I second that! Yours is the only video that I left me with a success bow tie! Thank you
If imperfection is the goal my attempts are flawless.
Imao
Quite a paradox
Lol, same though.
Words to live by.
They talk about imperfection because they cannot master the correct technique. I think men look awful and unkempt when their bowtie is crooked.
Hey! I used this video 10 minutes before my wedding on Friday, in a hotel toilet on the Amalfi Coast after begging all the waiters for help, unfortunately all their ties were pre-tied!!! This video really helped and I was told I realy looked the part on our special day. Thank you so much for such a clear, descriptive and direct tutorial. Faithfully,Alex
That is so awesome, I'm glad you made it in the nick of time! :)
+Alex Cooke I am glad to hear it worked! Please share the video with others.
+Alex Cooke I am glad to hear it worked! Please share the video with others.
Alex Cooke Now that's a story
Kind of weird you didn't try it before. Even once just for practice
After only 30 minutes of throwing my phone and cursing vile things, I figured it out. Thank you.
Took me waaaaay longer the first time so kudos.
Who else is looking at this video on their wedding day? Thank you!
I’ve just successfully tied a bow tie for the first time in my life! Thank you!
You should be proud of the service you have provided to mankind with this video. All the best, my good men.
Thank you for showing the hole that I needed to stick the bowtie through at the end. None of the other videos showed that, so I was having trouble sticking the finish.
This! No-one mentions this, makes it SO easy.
Exactly!
I couldn't agree more. It's so precise and straightforward. I did it over and over until I got it. I honestly have to say, I felt accomplished.
after struggling for ages i suddenly had a revelation and discovered that the hole you have to stick it in was at the top of the bin !! 🤣
at the end, it is about finding the right hole and do the things properly.
Your video is the one that should have 7m views, it taught me what the top 4 couldn’t.
A wonderful demonstration on how to tie a bow tie with clear camera angles
Started to watch the video, before the tutorial even started, I remembered it like riding a bike and tied it on my own. 10/10 would recommend
The BEST bow tie instruction by far.
three of us wasted ages (obviously watching the wrong you tube video) - and gave up. Then I watched this one and, as predicted, it worked first time. Thank you
I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO TIE A BLACK TIE FROM THIS VIDEO. HE WINS.
I'm young and what you do means the world to me
Well son of a gun, it works! I wear a Western style bow tie a lot, and the way they were tied in the 19th Century is exactly the same way you would tie your shoelaces. The problem is that it NEVER lays properly, and some of the events I attend, that's not an appropriate way to tie it.
Your tutorial made it a lot easier, and now I have a very smart looming Western bow tie. Thank you, good sir!
after struggling, failing, and generally being frustrated with bow ties after watching other vids, I looked at your vid and was able to easily tie my bowtie on the first try, now i want to wear them all the time. you have a new subscriber.
PERFECTION! This is the ONLY video which explains to a novice how to tie a bowtie. I got it the 1st attempt and looked PERFECT! Everyone else's video's pale in comparison!! Cheers ;:-)
Thank you so, so, so much for this tutorial. I'm a non-binary and masc-presenting person and I have two bowties...but after trying a WikiHow tutorial, I could not for the life of me figure out how to tie one. I got really discouraged. That was 9 months ago, and these bowties have just been sitting in my closet collecting dust. After watching your video, I can now tie one! It was actually a really emotional moment for me and I started crying. There are no words to explain the immense relief and gratitude I feel. Thank you ❤
This is the only good video on TH-cam for how to tie a bowtie. Don't waste your time with the others
Not even a male but I love watching these videos.
I've recently updated my style as I'm another year older. I'm not fully formal, but much more formal than I ever was. I enjoy dressing like a true gentlemen. It makes me feel more mature and more manly. Today, after 39 years of life, I tied my first bow tie. Thank you very much.
Raphael, You helped me learn how to tie a bow tie. Thank you kindly for your research and studies of the refined gentleman and for sharing all of your videos and knowledge with the world. Your passion for classic style is similar to a musician's passion to become his/her absolute best artist possible. Bravo!
That's great! We aim to do our best and we appreciate your support and kind words. :)
😅 1215 am learning to tie a bow tie before my wedding your a life saver only took a few attempts
Thank you
I was taught to tie a bow tie by an elderly shop assistant in a gents outfitters in Edinburgh in the 1980s and I have never seen the method demonstrated anywhere else. There is only one real difference from your method (apart from the fact I start with the right end longer and go right over left, which doesn't really matter), and that is the middle part. Where you make the bow tie shape with one end of the tie and then take the long end from your shoulder and loop it round, I was taught to loop that long end round my index finger first and then push the other (bow-shaped) end through the loop thus formed. From there to the end, the method is the same as yours. But I must try your method. You make it look so simple!
All goes well, until your hands disappear during the last step and I can’t see what you’re doing
oko
Yeah I agree. Good explanation but not so great camera work.
The camera cuts away at the worst possible second
This right here. I watched that part 4-5 times because that's where I got stuck in the process. I ultimately had to move on to a couple different videos to figure the rest of it out.
I finally got it because of this video. This is how How-to videos should be made.
Thank you! Just tied my 1st bowtie at 21 thanks to your video
Finally, a video that makes the last step make sense
yes!! finally solved the mysterious "loop"
I always thought that this was hard a/f but it turned out to be easier than I expected.
Watched a few videos, yours was by far the easiest ,without uneeded banter and puns . I got it right on the first try, thanks !!!!!!!
That is straightforward and easy! We’ve all been conditioned to think tying a Bow Tie is hard, when it’s not! Many thanks.
Thank yo so, so much!I am a single mom and I was worried about helping my son with his bowtie for Senior prom on our own. Got it in the first try with your helpful video!! You are a lifesaver!! Thanks again!!
That's great. I hope he enjoyed Senior prom.
This is my go-to video any time I need to wear a bow tie. Step by step, and descriptions of what to look for, very easy to follow.
Ive been trying for years.. you made it simple. I had to leave a comment. THANK YOU KIND SIR
Perfect video. Thanks from my cousin's wedding in Jamaica 🇯🇲 🙌
I'm a product photographer and never had to tie a bow tie until today. They've all been pre tied. This is the only video after 40 minutes that made since. Your video actually made a back loop. Goodness thank you sir!
wow I can't believe this worked for me! the pinch at 2:17 is the game changer! thanks for sharing🙏
My caveman brain is not allowing me to fully grasp the concept of tying a bow tie. This is a great video by the way, my wife watched it once and did it for me. :(
Aren't women just wonderful?
Women can use it for a bow. The only difference is that you pull the ends down at the ends
Two words: Shoe laces. You're welcome
Yes, topologically speaking a bow tie and a shoe lace are treated the same, but that makes it no easier than saying you tie the bow tie the same way if you're under water.
Trying to learn this the eve of my own wedding! I bought a few bow ties and trying to see which is best for my suit.
Congratulations!!
I tied my own bow tie at prom last May!
Still the clearest bestest video on this. Now my main method.
Tried several other tutorials until I got to this. Thank you!
As a retired Soldier, I take exception to the first comment about how only boys going to prom use clip on bow ties. Many Soldiers used clip on bow ties and 'regular' ties when wearing the different dress uniforms while I was in the Army. It was simple and easy. And we prefer the uniform look. As a military policeman, we would prefer the clip on tie in case someone wishing to do us harm grabbed the tie, it would simply pop off. This video was well laid out. I am considering buying a bow tie.
The best demonstration I’ve seen so far. The nipping together of the bow tie ends so you can see the hole at the back is the best ever for threading through to finish the tie.
Thank you sir. Your video is the simplest understanding of how to tie a bow tie.
I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial! It took maybe 5 minute for me to figure it out with this video.
This is the best bow tie tying video I've seen! The trick of holding the two ends of the bowtie together to easily find the hole is genius! :)
This was a step I haven't seen before. Just tied a bowtie that looks premade now!
I watched probably ten tutorials before this one. Somehow the descriptions, speed, and camera angles all came together to finally make it "click" for me. I am very thankful for this one!
Awesome video! You explain a very important step that others leave out - that you have to fold the dangling end before pushing it into the loop, a huge sticking point that I figured out watching this.
+Shaun Sukul We're glad you think so, Shaun!
That's exactly what my brain can't process. I can't manage the step!
I've been at this for over an hour & 1/2 watching many different videos....this is the ONLY one that has gotten me past the "tricky" part.
Great to know you finally got through it!
Yes, this is the easiest tutorial I found. Big thanks!
Great video, helpful, short and to the point.
Practice, practice, practice !
Winner.
I just watched several tutorials, none come close to the simplicity and efficiency we see here. Well-done and thank you.
I found this video tutorial on your website completely by chance while looking for a midnight blue tuxedo. Although I have been wearing bow ties for a few years now on and off, tying one was always an adventure and had - once! - even resulted in the demise of a very old bow tie. This video showed me the things I had been missing and I had a very literal "OMG! THAT'S how that works!" moment. After that? Easy as pie. Since my wife had only days before insisted that I wear ONLY bow ties, it REALLY was a life saver.
The problem was that since I found it completely at random and hadn't taken the time to bookmark or even save the link...I could not find it again ti save my life! Here I was telling people about this amazing video that could teach them to tie a bow tie as easy as pie but I could not find it!
Now that I finally have, I wanted to say thank you and tell you that I am going to share it time and time again.
Best video I've used, got it tied first time rather than feelings hours of shouting at the mirror 😂
It had been years since I last tied a bow tie - the times I did were frustrating and resulted in a bow tie I was not happy with (even if you say an uneven bowtie is a sign of a real bowtie - I didn't like how uneven it was)
I watched this last night and immediately understood it better than any other video ever tried and I ended up tying the best bow tie I've ever made on the fewest failed attempts.
So thanks! You made a difference to me! Maybe I'll start wearing them again.
Ok.... so I saw 2 videos about this with way more views
1st talked too much & wasn’t clear on how to do it
2nd guy did it too fast
You kept it simple short!
And Super Easy👍🏻👌
thank you!!!!
Thanks Rafael! My son's wedding is today and this video really paid off!
What a save haha :D
all other diagrams online have failed me. i watched this video once and got it right away!
Very helpful even though I'm a woman. As a wedding photographer I often end up tying grooms ties and now that bow ties are becoming more and more populare it's good to know how to tie them as well.
I wore a bow tie for the 1st time Saturday night and you taught me to tie it.
Thanks
I am not exaggerating when I say this is by far the best video I've seen. In fact I tried following your advice, got frustrated and went to other sites only to realize that with an inkling of patience you by far give the best example. Thanks!
Thank you very much. A fifty-year challenge resolved.
Having searched TH-cam for the past few hours, this is the only video that finally helped me crack the previously and seemingly impossible task of tying a bloody bow tie! Thanks very much and the Winston reference is perfect. We are all glow-worms. Thanks.
+RoryH25 You're most welcome! :)
Thank you so much for this great video! After 47 tries, I finally got it. LOL
I only came to own real bowties in the past year and a half or so. I also own several very nice readymade bowties that I often use for costumes.
Anywho, thanks for the simple step by step instructions, a lot of other videos seem to assume that you at least have a passing familiarity so don't quite break things down quite as much.
I can’t believe I made it work. I literally scheduled 2 hours before my black tie event to make it work.
It did. Thanks
Thank you for the help! Going to a formal dinner and wanted to tie my own bow tie, you made it extremely easy! I always love your videos.
You are welcome!
This video was a great help. I learned to tie my nie tie here before my wedding and now i am an absolute fan of your chanel, bow ties and evening wear.
Greetings from germany.
I've been more than a year without wearing a bow tie. After trying again and again I needed to watch this video again to get it right
The gentleman’s gazette to the rescue as usual!!
This is definitely a lot better and easier than other methods
I always wanted to wear a bowtie, but did not want to go with a clip-on, but learn how to make an actual one. This was perfect!
Thank you for this tutorial! This video helped my 10 year old learn to tie his own bow ties.
+Heather Schott You're welcome!
Best tutorial yet! Have struggled for years to tie a bow tie quickly and consistently. After 3 attempts following along with this video, I can now do it with my eyes closed and without a mirror. Thanks Sven!
+KidRynomite Nice to hear that. For more of this + articles, you can visit our website at www.gentlemansgazette.com.
Thank you. spent 40 mins pissed off watched this and now I got it!
Amazing thank you, this saved the wedding
Probably the best bow-tie tutorial on TH-cam!
Now that’s how you make a tutorial video. I watched countless videos, but none was this clear. Hence I got it on the first try.
Thank you so much! We struggled for 3O Minutes until we watched your video. Happy New Year!
I tied my tie on the first try, great tutorial
My actress wife’s first film premier in London Leicester Square… I had completely forgotten how to do this seemingly impossible task. Thank You!
Not joking, this is the video that works. Trust me. Follow his instructions to the word, (even though it's a left handed method)
Not only did you teach me to tie a bow tie, but I bought the black silk tie for my wedding from Fort Belvedere! Thank you so very much!!!
Thank you for the video. I have tied ties for more students, but never bow ties. Just showed two high school gentlemen how to tie a bow tie. Happy students! =)
That last maneuver with the 2nd bow tie shape at around 2:40 was tricky, but fair! Good work Gentleman's Gazette I feel like a real man!!
Best Tutorial of all on the Bow-Tie. Many thanks. Captain RED
We have 1 dress up type dance each year in our middle school, in 6th and 7th grade I wore pre tied but this year Im going to buy a self tie bow tie. This is the easiest tutorial ive seen, im bookmarking this. Thanks
+Jesse Ward Awesome. Please spread the word!
Like so many previous comments, many thanks for this tutorial. I make cosplay outfits for others and always have just sewn bows together instead of learning to tie them. I understand there is a difference between a bow and a bowtie, but after using some old clip on bowties on a costume, I realized that the effects bowties (as opposed to handmade bows) give to the final overall look gives the entire costume more of a realistic feel instead of a professionally made costume. It's hard to explain, so I will just say thank you so very much for being a gentleman and assisting this lady.
Thank you for this tutorial! It was quite easy to follow, and I had an acceptable result after just 2 tries. Definitely one of the best tutorials I've seen for anything, but to mention for bowties.
I tried for an hour trying to knot a bowtie and you did it in a flash. Thank you
One of the Best teachers I've seen on here in a while
Thanks!
Bow tie successfully tied with 5 minutes to spare until wedding photoshoot. Thank you so much for the easy to follow tutorial! (still took me a good 30 minutes to get it right :))
Brilliant, so easy. I have fought with bow ties for 65 years. Thank you for finally teaching me.
Between the camera angles, the cut between angles, the presenter's hand and the fast pace what's actually happening from 2:30, the hardest part of the knot, is inscrutable.
Wow, thanks buddy. Easiest method ever. Lifesaver!
Thanks! I spent several minutes in front of the mirror, swearing, because I hadn't tied a bow tie in quite some time and had forgotten how to do it. Went on youtube, found your video, BAM, bow tie tied. Thank you!
I tried a few videos and could just not get the hang of it, I watch your video and got it in the first try. Idk why but you explained and showed it so much better.
