Tie knot reccomendations?
I recently bought a nice silk tie (think Ferragamo), but I'm not sure which knot to do with it. I am currently using the half Windsor but I prefer a slightly smaller knot. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some tie knot recommendations tailored to your preferences:
Four-in-Hand Knot:
Half Windsor Knot:
Pratt Knot (Shelby Knot):
Full Windsor Knot:
If you’re looking for a smaller knot that still maintains a professional appearance, the Pratt Knot might be your best bet. It’s a step up from the Four-in-Hand in terms of symmetry and formality but smaller than the Half Windsor.

It depends on the thickness of the fabric, the collar you're wearing it with, the width of your lapel, etc. Just google tie knots and try some out.
Four-in-hand is the only answer. Windsor is great for used car salesmen (particularly with a nice, shiny tie).
Prince albert is also acceptable if its too long for a four in hand
Obviously depends on the tie but I always do full Windsor. I got my first PE offer wearing a full Windsor knot and have been using it ever since.
