For those of you who wear a tie, what is your preferred knot? I know it depends in part on the fabric and the type of collar. For your daily silk tie, I like a half Windsor. I think it looks quite neat and tidy.

I prefer a full Windsor myself.
Me too.
Half Windsor here. It just fits better.

When we were young, my brothers and I wore clip-on ties (church, garden parties, ect..), and I didn't begin to learn how to knot my own ties (four-in-hand knot), until I joined the Army.

For many years I preferred a four-in-hand. These days I am using a “Prince Albert’ which is more fun!
Full Windsor for me.
I like a half windsor or a four in hand, I actually like a bit of asymmetry in my knot.

Four–in–hand.
I know it´s not the prettiest but that´s how I was thought and never really experimented with other knots.

Well, for me it IS the prettiest!
And... it is the simplest and least 'formal' knot maybe... It adds a twist to my really formal dressing... and so I find it loosely elegant...With a dimple, of course...
When I wear a tie it is the full windsor for men.
For many years it didn’t have a name . . . now it has two.
I tie a Shelby Knot, named after a TV anchorman in the Midwest. Always makes an even, symmetrical knot.

I started off with the four-in-one, but switched over to a half-Windsor. I do stick with the four-in-one though if the tie is made of a thicker material or is on the shorter side.

I wear a full or half windsor depending on the length of the tie.

A little poofier than I prefer
My dad taught me the half-windsor and that's what I did for probably twenty years. Lately, I've come to prefer the four-in-hand. I like the simplicity and asymmetry. Plus, it uses less of the tie, which helps me get the right length.

Four in hand here
I can tie my tie sitting at my desk with no mirror using this knot .

Full windsor man.
Full Windsor, followed by half-Windsor then four-in-hand if it's more of a fashionable look I want.
