How to Tie a Tie: Trinity

Introduction

Active End: The end of the tie that will be used to tie the knot. This can be either the wide end or narrow end of the tie depending on the tie knot.

Shirt Collar: A band of material around the neck of a shirt that can either be folded or unfolded.

Neck Loop: The loop of the tie that goes around the collar.

The Trinity: A more complicated knot for people with more experience. This knot ends with a shorter, wider end, better suited for people wearing suits or vest.
