One of the most underrated and overlooked things in life that you need to know is how to tie a tie.  Its so easy and important for all guys to know.  I never thought it was easy ever I still don't think that but its something you have to know.  Many jobs require you to wear a tie as well as some special occasions.  Wearing a tie just makes everything look better if you have a job interview and you wear a tie it makes you look professional and it also shows that you care so having on a tie is helpful in many aspects.  Many people mess up the first couple of times then give up and search on the internet.  The most common mistake people make is that the skinny end of the tie is too long.  Here are some easy steps that will help you tie your tie;

1. Drape the tie around your neck. The wide end should extend about 12 inches below the narrow end of the tie. Cross the wide part of the tie over the narrow end.

2. Turn the wide end back underneath the narrow end.

3. Continue wrapping the wide end around the narrow end by bringing it across the front of the narrow end again.

4. Pull the wide end up and through the back of the loop.

5. Hold the front of the tie knot with your index finger and bring the wide end down through the front knot.

6. Tighten the knot carefully to the gills by holding the narrow end N and sliding the knot up. Center the knot.

Its a sad fact that most guys don't know how to tie a tie and that they ask someone or even buy a clip on so hopefully this helps.
