How to Tie a Seven-Fold Tie: The Ultimate Guide
The seven-fold tie is one of the highest expressions of sartorial elegance. Its rich and soft structure requires special care when tying it to achieve a harmonious and well-proportioned result. This guide will show you how to do it properly.
What is a seven-fold tie?
Unlike standard ties, a seven-fold tie is made by folding a single piece of silk onto itself multiple times, without any lining. This creates a fuller, softer, and more luxurious look.

Which knot to choose?
Seven-fold ties have more volume, so it’s best to go for simple and proportionate knots such as:
- Four-in-Hand Knot: elegant, slightly asymmetrical, and easy to tie.
- Double Knot: for those who want a fuller but still refined look.
- Half Windsor Knot: ideal for formal occasions.
Step-by-step guide – Four-in-Hand Knot
- Place the tie around your neck with the wide end on the right, longer than the narrow end.
- Cross the wide end over the narrow end.
- Bring it behind and then across the front again.
- Pass the wide end up through the loop around your neck.
- Pull it through the front knot and tighten gently.
