me tell you that I have spent years tying tie knots. When I was in 5th grade, my school district decided that every school will have the same uniform, which included a red tie for both girls and boys. So ever since then up to 12th grade I had to use my tie in order to become creative with the one thing that could not be regulated in our dress code, the tie knot. IV. Today I show you how to do a Windsor Knot in a few easy steps. V. We will follow 3 main parts: preparing for the knot, the actual tying and, finishing details.

CONCLUSION
Review of Main Points
I. Today we learned how to make the Windsor Knot. Probably the most famous out of 85 possible knots according to Thomas Fink and Yong Mao of Cambridge Cavendish Laboratory ( Fink, Thomas; Yong Mao (November 5, 2001) [October 3, 2000]. The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie: the science and aesthetics of tie knots(1st Paperback ed.). New York,
Center stage
NY: HarperCollins. ISBN 1-84115-568-3. ). So we took a clean tie and
prepared the shirt in order to tie the knot. We tied the knot and we arranged the shirt the way it’s supposed to look. Clincher/tag/ exit line or Final Appeal
II. Now you’re ready to have that Skype interview even if you will only be wearing a shirt, a tie and pajama pants(hopefully).
