How to tie an Ascot? Here are three ways that you can do it.
00:00 Introduction
00:10 1. TRADITIONAL
pleats up or down, it doesn't matter. It is necessary to have the pleats overlap the knot so the knot will be tighter and look your best all day. The right end needs to be about three to four inches longer than the left one. Second, the right end, the longer end, goes over the left end. What's important here is that the pleated part is actually part of the knot. With the traditional ascot, you may want to unbutton your shirt and then you close it once you have it tucked in and then simply adjust it to your liking.
01:52 2. SIMPLE
simple because of a single knot. For this type of knot, it is rather loose so it is likely for it to become looser over the course of the day.
02:30 3. MODIFIED FOUR IN HAND
The right end should be about 2 inches longer and follow the steps when tying a regular four in hand. With an ascot, it's more complicated because it is unlined. The advantage of this is that even if it comes loose which is not likely, you can always simply tighten it. The modified four in hand adds more volume in the knot making it pop and flow down nicely.
04:42 Half Ascot
Some of you may have half ascot versions where you have one loop and one wide end. To tie this, the wide end goes through the loop and you pull it tight, adjust it, and just bring this end through the back, adjust it, and put it in. It's not as full but can be advantageous when it's warm and you want less material on your chest.
05:45 Things to avoid when wearing an ascot?
- Never button your shirt all the way up.
- Never unbutton more than two buttons an exposed chest is not attractive.
- Avoid cheap silk on your skin or jacquard woven silk because it will pull more threads and it will be more uncomfortable.
- For daywear, avoid ascots with interlining because it's stiffer and not very comfortable to wear.
- If you sweat a lot, be careful with your shirts because cheap silk has the tendency to bleed off the color and you don't want to ruin your shirts.
