Step 2Adjust the length

 

Some bowties have adjustable lengths. Does one end have a loop? Some ties will have neck sizes marked on the loop. If so, place the hook one number up from the number corresponding to your neck-size. This will give you a little larger loop, but will simplify the beginners efforts at tying the darn thing.

Other adjustable bowties: you pull the loop through a little buckle until you have enough tie hanging down on either side of your collar to do it up. Bowties are generally narrow in the middle and widen out to an hourglass shape on both ends. The narrow curves are where the knot will be tied. The wider places form the loops and ends of the bow.
