How to Tie a Merovingian Knot | Men's Fashion
Complete Men's Fashion Guide Playlist - • Men's Fashion Guide
Hey, I'm Charles from Louis Purple. We're in New York. And I'm going to teach you how to tie the Merovingian knot. It's also called Ediety knot. So the way you want to start for this knot, it's a knot that goes around the narrow side quite a few times, so you want to wear the wide end fairly long compared to the narrow end, probably about 20 inches below depending on the length of your tie.
So this is how you start. The wide end goes underneath the narrow end. You go over the top once and pull it out on the same side. So this is what you have. Now you go over to the front, underneath through the back, and now you should be in this position so the tie is upside down. So this is a tie from my friend Cara Patrizio from Capelli in Naples, Italy. And this is how you proceed. So your tie is upside down. You go around the back, through the top. You're almost there. Now the last step you have to complete is reverse the knot, loosen it gently, and slide the white part inside the loop that you've created for that. Adjust it nicely. Tighten the knot, and there you go. You have your Merovingian knot. So after spending so much time tying the knot, it's something you don't want to wear when you're really casual.
It's really a knot that is used in formal occasions, probably wearing a three piece suit, for example, or a nice blazer. And definitely going with a sophisticated look with this type of knot. The guy who created this knot probably watch Matrix a little bit too much, but this is probably where the name came from, the Merovingian knot.

Instructions unclear, ended up strangling myself. Greetings from heaven.
Just completed for an awesome look for my last day of school! Thank you so much!
I believe back on Halloween of 2017, I dressed up as the Merovingian. I already knew how to tie this one, seeing as it's one of my favorites. I wore it, and I looked amazing. 😊
After struggling for over an hour with this knot and only being able to tie it twice, I had almost given up already. Thank you for this video, it certainly helped me quite a bit, as otherwise, I would have quit on this task!

My struggle was thinking the little side goes through the hole, but it was actually the big side that does
Love it! Thank you so much, I'm just getting into ties and this is a great one to use.
This knot is my favorite very elegant
Hah! This is so cool! Not only does it look really really sharp, but the 'merovingian' matrix reference is totally kick ass too!

Cool Tie knot! Some guys are just stuck in a box... Be cool people, more than one way to tie a Tie... Don't be shy!
It's a knot for formal occasion used with a vest. It would look stupid without a vest.
Absolutely love this knot, will use it instead of windsor from now on!
Thank you so much for sharing. My son was dapper at prom :)
Thanks I’m going to wear this at my daughters wedding, walking her down the aisle❤👍
What a great knot, although I think I would have the thin end a little lower to balance out the look -- but if it's behind a vest or a low v-neck sweater who cares -- it's a great knot!!
Awesome knot. Knots are cool.
This is the first way I know how to tie a tie

Thanks for wonderful tie
thank you so much
Thank you! That was very helpful and you, sir, are very nice to watch as well!
Excellent - disregard all negative expletives
omg! can we have more videos of you abt anything 😍 the whole time i was just looking at you and forgot to learn
Thanks it was easy to follow. I had tried before with no luck til now.
oh my gosh THANK YOU!!!! there are not as many likes available to me as I want to give you right now! :-)
This is hands down the single most beautiful knot I've seen. You'd need a really good quality silk- solid colour or maybe tiny polka dots and very carefully seamed. Cheap ties will not work with this.
I get a lot of compliments on the Merovingian. Especially with a black and white striped silk tie or an antique white silk tie, worn with a white shirt.
Thank You U help me with all my tie Knots

Very good I learnt this within 2 min
I think it's a great knot. Wore it to a wedding today in fact.
This is good to if yours tie is too long and you don't want to cut it or if you don't have shorter one. There's only 2 things to do: 1) reverse a tie upside down so you're watching her back side while you are tieding it 2) take her off and reverse it again so the wider side is on the front. It doesn't look bad so :)
I'm gonna rock this knot for grad this year
Thank you so much for teaching me this. Again thanks so much
Wore it to a thanksgiving party. Was well received, but other knots I've worn have been received with less confusion by others.
It looked liked an awesome knot from looking at the thumbnail, but I didn't expect this knot to be backwards!
Gracias hermano, un gran aporte !!! Espero mas tutoriales para nudos de corbata !!
This worked brilliantly when I tied it on my son.
You are a life savior !
This knot looks a lot better with a lighter color tie and a different fabric i.e. silk. Plus, this knot is meant to be worn with a vest or jacket. It's a nice knot just not stand alone.

Dimitri Dessources I think the idea is to have the lower half hidden and just the knot shown really.

I'm guessing the fact that many "cool" guys will wear this and get bullied by people who think the tie is inverted since the latter knows little to nothing about men's fashion.

Awesome tie lllloooovvvveeee iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt...
it's very good, something different from the old ways
Very, very informative, great knot's
Thanks
I really don't like the way this knot looks, but it's definitely skillfully done.
That's kind of cool. Thanks mate!
Merovingians are the french kings family dynasty
Everyone is blaming the knot, but that TIE. It's the tie that's hideous. With a smooth silk champagne and teal (and covering up the stupid part of the tie, but showing the knot only) with a three-piece or a sweater, this is *kind* of a neat knot.

Agreed. The beauty of this knot is in the application. It works especially well with a tie that has a contrasting tail end.
Thank you
Very good

I hate this knot. Thanks for sharing, but it's very ugly. I would be ashamed if I wear a suit with such a knot. It's like a tradition to keep the thinner side on the back. I hate to break that tradition. Makes me uncomfortable.

Sometimes you just got to branch out and break tradition. Express yourself essence than letting ancient precedents express you. I wore this with my contrast Tommy Hilfiger tie. And people liked the way the blue, grey, and red plaid pattern contrasted against the narrow, navy blue end. I even wore the knot during a college fair and was accepted by a few on the spot. Sometimes you got to separate yourself from the grey crowd, and one of the best way to do it is simply how you tie your tie. Give it a shot.

Ian B I agree you gotta be willing to try new stuff, but it's a pretty ugly result - the eldredge knot achieves a similar effect, but the end result is far more attractive.

I like the knot but it is interesting that at the 2:00 mark the tie is above his belt line and at the 2:15 mark it is way below the belt line.

Thank you!
In order for this to work, it has to be a really formal occasion. 3 piece suit would be best. It will cover the bottom portion of the tie to focus more on the knot itself.

I tried it and its nice! Actually this is only the flip side of windsor knot :)
Hi!, it was easy to tie it, thanks a lot, it looks kinda nice. From a boy call John.
i just did it, thanks!
I love this knot. its so cool. you stand out from everyone Your a great teacher too
Oohhh I like this tip :)
I Was wondering if It was possible to get the wide part in front while still having the knot (I do not like the thinner part being at front). So I tried it. I just did the same step but reverse. so I have the same knot but the wide part is front. Which looks much cooler to me
Going to try this to school. I'd be cool!

On unconventional knots if you are a tall person you have to have ties that are a yard long to make these work.
