Tying a bow tie can be a bit intimidating, but with a little practice and patience, you can master it effortlessly. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to tie a Hermes bow tie.
Before we get started, here are a few things you’ll need:
- A Hermes bow tie
- A mirror
Step 1: Prepare the Bow Tie
First, drape the bow tie around your neck with the right side slightly longer than the left. Cross the right side over the left and bring it up and over to create a simple knot.
Step 2: Create the First Loop
Take the longer end of the bow tie and create a loop on one side, leaving enough fabric to form the other loop.
Pro Tip:
Make sure that each loop is roughly the same size for symmetry.
Step 3: Create the Second Loop
Next, take the shorter end of your Hermes bow tie and form an identical loop on your other side.
Hold each loop securely as you make them to ensure they don’t slip or become uneven.
Step 4: Bring Loops Together
Bring both loops together in front of your neck with one hand while using your other hand to hold them in place.
Step 5: Cross Loops Over Each Other
Cross one loop over another to create an “X” shape in front of your neck.
Make sure that each end is facing upwards so that they can be easily tied together.
Step 6: Tuck One Loop Underneath The Other
Take one loop and tuck it underneath the other loop while holding both loops in place.
Step 7: Create a Knot
Take the end of the top loop and pull it down, creating a knot.
Be sure to tighten the knot slowly and carefully to avoid making it too tight or too loose.
Step 8: Adjust The Bow Tie
Adjust and straighten your Hermes bow tie until it looks symmetrical.
Make sure that each loop is even, and adjust the knot as needed to achieve a neat appearance.
Congratulations! You have successfully tied your Hermes bow tie. With practice, you can master this skill and be ready for any formal event.
