The Four-in-Hand knot is the best way to tie a skinny tie as it has a small knot. A knot favoured by James Bond and recommended for shorter men, the four-in-hand is a small knot with a distinctive elongated, asymmetric shape.

The Half Windsor knot is larger than the Four-in-Hand knot and works best with light and medium weight fabrics such as this. The Half Windsor knot is one of the most well known tie knots in the world. It's a symmetric medium sized tie knot with the figure of a perfect triangle.
The half-Windsor knot, also known as the single Windsor knot, is a way of tying a necktie which produces a neat, triangular knot. It is larger than the four-in-hand knot and Pratt knot but smaller than the Windsor knot. The half-Windsor is derived from the full Windsor in that it is only brought up around the loop on one side rather than both. It works well with light- and medium-weight fabrics.
The Half Windsor knot
To tie the half-Windsor, place the tie around your neck and cross the broad end of the tie in front of the narrow end. Fold the broad end behind the narrow end and bring it forward on the opposite side. The left and right sides of the narrow end, and the inside of the loop around your neck, form a triangle. Continue folding the tie over the sides of this triangle, rotating around the triangle in one direction. The sixth fold should bring the broad end up over the top of the knot from behind; push the end down through the loop in front of the knot between the fourth and fifth folds, work out any wrinkles, and pull the knot tight. If the tie is unbalanced, untie the knot and try again giving yourself more or less length to work with. The steps are: Start with the wide end of the tie on your right and extending a foot before the narrow end, Cross wide end over narrow and turn back underneath, Bring it up and turn it down through the loop, Pass the wide in from the front, from the left and to the right, Then, end up through the loop, and put it down through the knot in the front, tighten the knot carefully and draw it up to the collar.
The Four in Hand knot is recommended for shorter men. It's a small knot with a distinctive, elongated asymmetric shape - which directs the eye vertically up the body - giving the impression of height. The Four in Hand was also a favourite of James Bond.
TheFour-in-Hand knot
The four-in-hand knot is tied by placing the tie around the neck and crossing the broad end of the tie in front of the narrow end. The broad end is folded behind the narrow end and brought forward on the opposite side, passed across the front horizontally, folded behind the narrow end again, brought over the top of the knot from behind, tucked behind the horizontal pass, and the knot pulled snug. The knot is slid up the narrow end of the tie until snug against the collar.
