half-Windsor
Asymmetrical necktie knot
A half-Windsor is a method of tying a necktie that produces a medium-sized, slightly asymmetrical triangular knot.
It requires fewer steps than a full Windsor and works well with most collar styles and tie fabrics: He tied a quick half-Windsor before the interview.
The knot suits both formal and business casual settings.
