Of course, but there's no need to when you wear these shirts:

It ain't pretty 99% of the time. However, I did a damn good one the day of prom... only to have my asshole friend undo it.
stupid git.

Yup, need a couple of tries, though.
Didn't use suit and tie today, though, I'm a senior, so I'm what we in Norway call "russ", meaning that we wear something I would (almost) call a "uniform". Red baggy pants and a hoodie, in addition to a white lab coat in my part of the country.

Yep. I use a Windsor knot every day.
I learnt (a four-in-hand, not the Windsor) in my first year of school (when I was 4) and there was a poster on the door containing a list of all the people who could tie their ties and shoelaces (I was one of the first people on it ).

My secondary school featured a tie as part of the uniform, with suits in the 6th form, so yes, I can tie a tie. Full Windsor knot too!
I can also tie a bow-tie! That takes a while to learn...
EDIT: Ha, I posted directly below someone who went to the same secondary school as me!

Ties weren't mandatory (and I don't recall them even being optional) for girls in my secondary school so I really have no clue how to do it. I mean, I can sort of picture my father and brother doing it and can probably mimic the movements but it would look bloody horrible.Icecoldcynic said:

A quarter of don't know how to tie a tie? Really? I mean...
I went to an english secondary school, so, yeah, I know how to tie a tie. Intentionally badly, admittedly, but I still know how.

Since the age of eleven when I first began to attend boarding school.

It's about as firmly ingrained into my brain as the Konami Code.

Yes, I had to learn when I went to prep school, they had ties at my school in Dublin but they had fake ties for people who didn't know how to tie proper ones.
I always like to overdress for a party. Ergo I tend to wear a tie or bow-tie to a lot of events.
I once tried to explain to a girl how to tie a bow tie, and tried to demonstrate on her thigh. And stupidly said that I probably needed something slimmer about halfway through. Bad move.
Half windsor looks best on most of my shirts, some look better with a Pratt (haha). Does anyone use a tie slide? I like the look of them but I have never got round to getting one.
