Step-by-Step Guide to Tying the Onassis Knot
Start with the Wide End on Your Right: Position the tie so the wide end is on your right and the narrow end is on your left. Ensure the wide end hangs lower than the narrow end.
Cross the Wide End Over the Narrow End: Take the wide end and cross it over the narrow end in the front.
Wrap Around from Behind: Bring the wide end behind the narrow end, wrapping it around to the right.
Cross to the Left: Take the wide end across the narrow end to the left.
Up Through the Neck Loop: Pass the wide end up through the neck loop from underneath.
Create the Band: Bring the wide end down through the loop created in Step 5. Gently pull it through to form a neat band.
Drape the Wide End: Take the wide end behind the knot and drape it over the front, allowing it to hang freely.
Final Adjustments: Pull down gently on the wide end and adjust the knot to ensure it sits comfortably at the collar.
Why Choose the Onassis Knot?
The Onassis Knot is less about symmetry and more about effortless elegance. Its draped appearance gives it a modern, fashion-forward edge while maintaining a sense of timeless sophistication.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Onassis Knot
Fabric Choice: Lightweight, silky ties work best for achieving the smooth drape of the Onassis Knot.
Collar Match: Pair it with a shirt that has a spread or wide collar for a balanced look.
