I was amused by this photo of Jeff Bezos sporting a necktie with a Windsor knot:
(A compensatory device, perhaps?)
When I first learned to tie a necktie, almost 70 years ago, I used what is properly called a Half-Windsor Knot (though it is sometimes called a Windsor Knot). The Half Windsor is neater and more elegant than the Windsor (a.k.a. Full Windsor), which looks like a chin-cushion.
But when I began working in a professional setting, where necktie wearing was then (early 1960s) de rigeur, I adopted the Four-in-Hand knot, which is faster and easier to tie than either of the Windsors. It is alleged that the Four-in-Hand knot is asymmetric. But it isn’t if one is careful about pulling the knot up into the “notch” between collar points. It also helps to wear a straight-collar shirt (which also lends a more professional appearance than a spread collars or button-down).
In fact, a properly tied Four-in-Hand is more elegant than its cumbersome Windsor rivals. For one thing, the knot doesn’t overwhelm the wide part of the tie, which (if one has good taste in ties) is what one wants to show off. In addition, the Four-in-Hand lends itself to a neat dimple, which can be achieved with the Half Windsor but not the Full Windsor.
The neat (centered) dimple says: “I am a fastidious person” — and I am.
