To fit a tie, you need to place it around your neck, adjust for the correct length, and then tie it. The YouTube video "[How to tie a tie in 10 seconds - YouTube]" (0:15-1:57) explains the basic steps to get started.
Here's a breakdown of how to initially position the tie:
- Placement: Begin by placing the tie around your neck. Ensure the seam is facing down.
- Length Adjustment: Make sure the tie is at the appropriate length by adjusting it. Refer to the video for specific advice on tie length adjustments.
- Crossing: Once you have adjusted the length, cross the wider end of the tie over the thinner end, forming an 'X'.
- Starting the Knot: After crossing the tie, grab the tie to proceed with tying a knot.
It's important to note that adjusting for length may vary depending on individual preference and the type of knot being tied. The video "[How to tie a tie in 10 seconds - YouTube]" suggests checking a separate video on tie length.
