TIE KNOTS!
You don’t shirt a shirt, you don’t hat a hat but you tie a tie!!

Have you at some point as a gentleman wondered ‘how many tie knots are there’? Maybe, because you have seen people wearing their ties in different styles.
There are so many of them and most gents don’t know their names. Most of them look the same, only differing in the way they are tied.
FUN FACT: A TIE IS THE ONLY PIECE OF CLOTHING WITH A NAME SUGGESTING HOW YOU PUT IT ON. You don’t shirt a shirt, you don’t hat a hat but you tie a tie!!!
Speaking of ‘knots’, one particular type that caught my attention around the year 2017 is the Eldredge knot shown in the pictures. This one is considered an unorthodox knot but we can’t deny the fact that it’s nice, stylish and popping. Gents you need to try it!!
It was introduced back in 2007 by Jeffrey Eldredge, unfortunately I got to know of it a decade later. When tying this knot, you would need to follow more than 10 separate steps as shown in the other picture and you use the smaller end to achieve it. This knot is nice but also unusual to many, so consider when to wear it and with the right type of shirts, with better collar size than the small ones. A jacket is always great when added to the outfit be it a sport coat/jacket or a suit.
