In today’s video, we show you how to tie a formal daywear ascot which is also known sometimes as day cravat.

Here is how you tie the formal ascot the more popular way.

First, find the label in the middle of the formal ascot and place it firmly against the back of your neck.

Second, you don’t want both sides to be at the same length. So you pull on the right side until it is about four to five inches longer which is about ten to twelve and a half cm.

Ideally, you want a formal ascot to be very wide on the left side and very slim on the right side. now you take the slim end from the right, fold it diagonally over the left. with your left hand, take the part that you just folded over and bring it back to the original side. pull it a little snug. now again bring that end that you just brought to the right and fold it over once more around to create what will be the knot. Now with your left hand, you take the tip, go back behind and push it up from the back, so it comes out on top.

Pull a little bit so your knot tightens up a little bit. Just like a regular four in hand knot, you take the tip now and push it through the hole that you just created. Ideally, you want to pull up and push up that knot a little bit so you create some wrinkles and so it doesn't look like a regular necktie. You'll also notice it's much bigger and that's okay. Once you've done that, simply pull on the long end in the back and adjust the knot until it sits snugly against your collar. As you can see, the front end is much shorter than the back end and it looks kind of odd, however, you only wear a formal Ascot with a formal waistcoat or a vest. As a final step, you simply have to tuck it into your vest and it looks great. Voila! the popular way to tie a formal Ascot. If you're not wearing it at the end of the day, simply unravel the knot in the opposite way you tied it which means you pull through the front part first and unwind it.
