    Can't really tell that well (blurry) but I'm guessing either a four-in-hand knot or a Christenson knot due to how slender it looks.

    But it could just be a badly tied Windsor knot.

    I was going to say four in hand, it is one of the easiest to tie but should be used with ties of a heavier weight fabric, if used with ties of lighter weight fabric it can tighten up too much where it shouldn't.

    I just looked up how to tie a four in hand. And you weren't lying. It's incredibly easy.

    The top one can definitely make that case, the bottom one looks like a dead ringer for a four in hand:

    I myself prefer the rose knot, when I'm taking a break between pondering Isaac Barrow's approach to calculus, and teaching my dog how to speak Mandarin:

    I think I would probably choke myself to death if I tired that rose knot.

    They look like the quick method we used in high school due to having to wear them so often. Loop around once (over?) Then pull through and done. No idea about the proper name.

    Up your game bitch.

    Buy a Bowtie.

    And then....

    Make it look cool.

    (Psst...P.S. that's an Eldridge, not a Rose knot.)

    Bowties have as much potential of being cool as AIDS.

    Who wears a straight tie, with a Tux?
    Making it look cool, is a matter of retying it in full view of an audience while walking...without fumbling.

    You'll like like James Bond, without having to shoot someone.

    (Yeah, I know...that's like dry humping)

    Fucking tux? You go somewhere in a tux and usually every other guy there is in a tux because it's required, so nobody has the feel like the only dipshit in the room wearing a bowtie.

    You go somewhere in a tux and you're the only one? You better be James Bond, otherwise you're just a retard.

    You go somewhere in a tux, and can tie the tie while walking to sharpen it up...and you'll be the only one that can.

    Everyone else will hold their clip on or elastic manhood cheaply,
