How Do You Tie A Merovingian Necktie Knot?
The Merovingian tie knot gets its name from a character in the film, “The Matrix.” The Merovingian, a Frenchman with an intricately tied tie, shined the light on this forgotten tie-tying technique–originally called the Ediety knot. After “The Matrix” was released, the Merovingian knot unintentionally stole the identity of the Ediety knot and has been parading around as such ever since. You can call the knot by either name; both are accurate. Hang the tie around your neck. The thin end should hang over your left shoulder, and the wide end should hang over your right shoulder. Be prepared to do the tying with the slimmer end of the tie. Pinch the wider side with the fingers of your right hand as far up and as close to your neck as you would like the knot to be. Take the thin side with your left hand and cross it over the top of the wider side. Loop it around the wide side and then pull it through the neck loop from back to front. Then, hang it forward over the knot you have just created
