KNOTMYSTYLE - The Trinity Knot

The Trinity knot is, hands down, one of the most popular necktie knot styles out there.  This slick knot has a three-way symmetrical look that get its influence from the Celtic Triquetra, a design used as a religious symbol during the ancient Christian era. The pattern “hold hands” at a center point, producing a very conversational effect. I can see how a guy can be a bit intimidated by the Trinity at first glance, but it’s one of the boldest tie knots you can learn and surprisingly not as hard as it looks (that’s what she said).  The trick is, unlike most tie knots, it is tied somewhat loosely.  This can take some getting use to and can be a little frustrating at first, but with some patience the Trinity knot can be mastered.

Knot My Style: The Eldredge Knot

This unique tie knot, which definitely demands recognition as a conversation piece, was invented by, whom some people would call eclectic, Jeffrey Eldredge.  I was luckily able to come across a recent interview with him where he speaks about how the idea came to him.  The (then) 27 year old techie hails from Salt Lake City, Utah, who, oddly enough, drag races when the chance presents itself.  When asked, what inspired him to come up with this unique twist to the “Ediety Knot”, his response was simple: “tying a four-in-hand everyday got old.”  I love this guy already.  So in the wee-hours of the night out of sheer boredom, after a few tweaks here and there, the Eldredge Knot was born.  Despite its beauty, the Eldredge Knot is not your everyday tie knot, even JE admits to only sporting it maybe once a month, if that.  I personally can’t wait to give this tie a try myself, just waiting for the right occasion.  Anybody need their wedding crashed?  I can surely woo one of the bride’s maid with this one.
