A recent column asked readers to suggest a technique to keep the tie knot tight, particularly for men wearing a tie that often slips when it comes to a close tie. The author suggests that professional professionals, like professional men who wear ties, often do not seem to have this problem. Here are some tips from a well-dressed man who are familiar with the knot, such as watching YouTube videos and practice it. Consider the thickness of the fabric, as it is often slippery and difficult to keep tightly tied. For instance, consider wearing a silk tie with a tight tie and then flipping the collar up completely before tying it tight.
