Screw wearing ties in general, but you don't need to use an elaborate knot, unless your boss specifically calls out the Simple/Oriental knot as unsuitable and forces you to have a more elaborate knot. In which case, what kind of fresh hell company are you working for?

This is also called the Server knot, because its what 99.9999% of servers tie for jobs that force them to wear ties. The half-windsor knot is one extra step (step #4 in the linked diagram) beyond the Simple/Oriental/Server knot, and its acceptable in every occasion. Its also really funny once you can tell the difference, because you'll see really famous people on TV with the simple knot.

i know how to tie a tie but ive never mastered the art of feeling comfortable while wearing one, feels like choking the entire time. i dont even like buttoning a shirt up all the way if i dont have to

If you tie a half-windsor or larger knot, you can undo the button on your collar and use the tie to keep it in place - assuming you have collar stays and the lapel isn't crazy long. I had to learn all of this the hard way, because my dad was a teamster, and it took 3 years of working retail for a place that didnt accept the server knot to feel comfortable. It was also in California, which is a big :lol: because only peons wear ties there.

I'm mostly a complete adult, but thats only because I compare myself to my :airquote: adult :airquote: parents.
