Tie Knots

The Windsor (1): Popularized by the Duke of Windsor, this knot creates a perfectly symmetrical shape, suitable to fill wide spread collars.

The Half Windsor (2): The Windsor knot only less so, the half Windsor has one less loop and a slimmer shape, with the same symmetry as its big brother.

The Four-in-Hand (3): The simplest knot of all. Suitable for smaller and softer collars like button-downs.

Collars

The Small Collar (1): A low collar redolent of the sixties, it's the sort you should look for if you're into leaner suits and narrower ties. Its tie knot: the four-in-hand.

The Spread Collar (2): A classic shape that works for all ages and neck shapes. Its tie knot: the Windsor.

The Tall Collar (3): Set on a wider band with two buttons at the neck, the tall collar can be worn without a tie altogether, since it's substantial enough on its own. Its tie knot: the half Windsor.

Cuffs

The Turnback Cuff (1): Rare but in the ascendant, the turnback cuff was popularized by the first James Bond, Sean Connery, in Dr. No. It combines the elegance of a double cuff with the ease of buttons.

The Button Cuff (2): Functional and modern, with none of the fiddliness of cuff links, the button cuff is right for normal office days but not too dressy.

The Double Cuff (3): Still the most dressed-up choice, the double cuff, or French cuff, is best for showing a quarter inch of shirt cuff from underneath your jacket sleeve.
