If you are a regular tie wearer, you would probably know how to a tie in a matter of seconds without having to dread doing so. You will surely know what a Windsor knot is and how to do one, and you should be knowledgeable of how to get rid of tie wrinkles as well. Remember the time when you were trying to learn how to tie a tie? The moment you finally learned how to do that Windsor knot - it felt good right? Looking at you in front of the mirror, looking nice and confident... You surely felt like a different person. Before you knew it, your professional life had started and things were never the same.
As you go through your everyday life wearing a tie, knotting your tie becomes a routine. You go about it without having to think about the steps you need to take. Some people are very wary about taking care of their tie as much as they have been when they were still learning how to tie a tie. These are the type of people who have neat ties all the time. On the other hand, if you are one of the rather normal ones, you usually do not pay much attention to your tie. You know how important it is not to keep your tie knotted when stored no matter how nice that Windsor knot you did this morning. However, finding your tie with wrinkles is normal for you. How do you deal with wrinkles on your tie anyway?
If your tie is thick or is made of heavy silk, wrinkles will be a common occurrence. It makes your tie look worn and very much used, and looks untidy as well, even if you have only worn it for a few hours. Despite that nicely-done Windsor knot, the beauty of your tie will not be much appreciated if it is wrinkled all over. Fortunately, it is very easy to remove wrinkles on your tie and it can be done overnight.
To remove wrinkles, you basically just need to wrap the tie around with your hand. First, simply hold the narrow end of the tie with your thumb while letting the rest of it hang down on the floor (without having to touch it). Then, start wrapping the rest of the tie around your hand, rolling it until the rest of it is rolled up. When it is neatly round up, simply lay it flat on top of a table or inside your drawer where it can rest and "recover" for a while. Some people also simply hang their ties on their tie hanger until the wrinkles disappear.
Equally important to learning how to tie a tie or to do the Windsor knot is knowing how to properly take care of your tie. Remember that your tie should not only be well-knotted, it should look smooth and perfect as well. The next time you look at your perfect Windsor knot in the mirror; do not forget to check for wrinkles on your tie as well!
