The trinity knot is a somewhat less traditional tie knot, a fun option for semi-formal occasions. It is slightly more complicated than many other standard tie knots, and less conventional. If you're looking for a more unique appearance, the trinity knot can be an excellent choice.

​With Your Collar Raised, Align the Tie With the Narrow End on Your Right, Hanging Lower Than the Thick End.

The thick end should hang down to approximately your bellybutton.

Cross the Narrow End to Your Left, Over Wide End, Forming a Triangle Shape Where the Sides Meet.

Fold the Narrow End Behind the Loop (the Loop Formed by Crossing the Two Sides) and Raise It Up Through the Loop.

​Drop the Narrow End Straight Down Over the Loop, So It Hangs Down Directly in Front of the Wide End.
