Hey, Veeky Forums, don't usually post here (since I'm straight)...

Hey, Veeky Forums, don't usually post here (since I'm straight), but you guys kinda seem like you know what youre talking about so i wanted to ask a quick question:
Prom is coming up and I've watched a lot of style tips videos since my father doesn't even know how to tie a tie. I think i did a pretty good job heeding their advice. That being said, should i shoot myself in the head if i show up at prom with an eldredge tie knot?

No, it's fine. Some people might just ask you what style of tying it is, but that's all.

Don't do it you autist. There's a standard for a reason

Fuck outta here

Stop overthinking everything, you bitter bastard.

Depending on the color of the tie it will be hard to even notice.

Personally i think the eldredge is kinda edgy and fedora-tier. Try a trinity knot, pic related.

nice shirt.....
trinity is not my type, don't like the shape
i've been doing windsors up until now, tried the eldredge and i have no idea why all the reddit plebs can't tie a fucking tie...

Jesus no

drop that trip already you fucking twat

>Prom is coming up
underage fag detected

>(since im straight)

no ur not

please don't tell me that you think i'm 15 and wearing a suit to my 8th grade prom...
nobody can be that dumb...

i wasn't asking for your favorite drink u fucking faggot

Just go with a windsor or four-in-hand. Become a normie, but focus on the goddamn fit of the suit first and have nice shoes

got everything sorted perfectly, will probably post pics when shirt is back from tailoring
well, the jacket is a bit wide, but money is short...

>focus on the fit of the suit and shoes
This this this this this.

If you do an eldredge knot and the rest of your suit isn't fabulous you'll look like a fool. Master formal wear before adding flair. Don't add racing stripes to a Ford escort.

be sure to post it, if the jacket is wide is alright aslong as the legs are balanced with it

it'll look shit no matter how well his suit fits

yeah i know that shit already, fit is the most important thing and suicide is the only option if you look like a dumb kid wearing his first suit

Don't be a fucking autist user. You have me cringing for you. Half windsor and call it a day.

nah, i'm a full windsor guy

fuck off

Non-standard knots should be avoided when you're young. It will just look like you don't know how to tie a tie and fucked it up.

>Non-standard knots should be avoided
fix't for you

This no one cares about your stupid ass knot aside from some faggot "menswear expert.

why? why do it?
cause it has a greater chance of looking bad instead of good, especially if you barely visit fa and dress poorly. granted, you can dress well without ever visiting fa, so who knows maybe u do dress well. anyways, you should probably not do it. spend your time/money making sure everything fits and the colors work. or not, it's your prom.

here you go

>since Im straight
Ah, wrong board. You'd want /cm/.

High school seniors can be 18 dude.

>windsors
>not four in hand
embarrassing

>don't usually post here (since I'm straight)

you act like a condescending douchebag. as if sexuality has anything to do with caring about fashion.

>should i shoot myself in the head if i show up at prom with an eldredge tie knot?
no, but refrain from doing it.

practical issues: it's a not that doesn't allow you to easily (un)fasten it, which means you'll be stuck with whatever length you've made in the first place. the trinity knot is also this level idiocy as it defeats the usefullness of a the knot.

fashionably it's similar to pinrolling. it's making cake out dough, when all you need is bread.

>practical issues: it's a not that doesn't allow you to easily (un)fasten it, which means you'll be stuck with whatever length you've made in the first place.
The eldritch is perfectly adjustable. It's just a knot that rides the broad end of the fabric rather than the tail like most traditional knots.

>what is counter-shitposting

you will look like this

or like this

>look at me I'm straight
>watching style tip videos on YouTube

Kys

Holy shit. Goals

Not that bad, to be honest.

Obviously the wizard staff has to go, but the fit of the suit is pretty good. The only real problem with the outfit itself is that ridiculous giant brass belt buckle.

Everything but four-in-hand is fedoracore

had no internet access for a whole day, but i survived
i'm 19
it's no symmetrical, i don't know how you people can go around with a knot that looks that sloppy
i know you can fix it up but why not do the easier, better looking one?
desu, if he dropped the edgy bs he would be golden
also, you sure thats the eldredge? looks a bit off...

fucking desu filter?

Had to wear suit and ties for sports in HS and would sometimes do it. Girls honestly complemented me on it and thought it was cool.

Loser, I didn't go to prom.
Need a date?

There is only one tie knot, and that tie knot is the four in hand. Everything else is for people who either

a) want a thicker knot but can't afford a thicker tie, or

b) want to show everyone how duded up they are, wearing a neckingtie made outta shiny stuff and everything

Four in hand is the only tie knot.
If you want to impress girls, get a deep purple paisley tie in pure silk or something, not a knot you spent half an hour fiddling with

>Personally i think the eldredge is kinda edgy and fedora-tier
>Try a trinity knot, pic related
Fuckin lol

>it's no symmetrical
It's not supposed to be symmetrical

>Don't add racing stripes to a Ford escort
The Ford Escort was a successful rally car.

>i don't know how you people can go around with a knot that looks that sloppy
It's insouciance is the whole fucking point. The idea is to look like you don't have to try to look good. A bit of imperfection is key.

Fuck off, stupid underage kid.

yes, but yours wasn't

Nobody is ho home to take a pic of me so heres a demo on a dusty mirror with the cancer knot

You look like something out of Harry Potter

w2c skull?

No. Your jacket also looks too short.

R u perhaps related to denim Dan? Do u also consider urself an aficionado of ceilings fans?

Tall + skinny + your sister who's taking the photo not noticing it looks like shit = i am very scared of prom now...

also, the camera on the phone is very bad and the lighting is awful... this is the best picture i could get before undressing and noticing the tiny shit details...

anything that isn't a half or full windsor is autistic

>jacket is too short
>is a different colour/texture to the trousers
>tie isn't even pulled up to cover your top button
>no belt
>shoes same colour as the jacket

there is a belt
tie is the tiny shit detail
shoes are another victim of the shit lighting and camera, they are a darker shade of brown
the short jacket is killing me

WHEW

I work in menswear, I dress rich kids for prom all the time. I would never dream of letting one walk out suited like that. Jacket is too short, both in the sleeves, and the overall length of the jacket. Pants need to be hemmed. The shirt and tie combination isn't working brilliantly with the suit.

Don't worry though, most kids' families can't afford to visit high end retailers and get them professionally suited, you won't be the only one looking like shit. I had a 1200 dollar sale returned by some Malaysian kid whose parents had given them their credit card. He ended up buying everything - suit, shirt, accessories, shoes even, apparently. at H&M for 100 dollars. Less than the commission I had gotten taken away from the returned sale. You probably won't look as bad as him.

PRATT KNOT BEST KNOT. SYMMETRICAL AND IT IS NICE AND SMALL.

the short jacket is why i'm jumping off a bridge tonight... It was the only one that fitted well around the waist and i didn't notice the length... I'm skinny and tall so I should be used to this bullshit by now...

i thought pink and brown maroon would work quite well, desu

when is your prom? just get a new suit - it's prom mate no one is really bothered
