Jesse Tyler Ferguson Knows Style
How does Modern Family’s style Jesse achieve his look? According to the man himself, it’s a combination of exercise, leafy green vegetables and tying the occasional bow tie. According to legendary nerd Wil Wheaton, “The very best How To Tie A Bow Tie video I’ve seen on the Internet, and I’ve watched a lot of them.” That’s one hell of a testimonial.
Items you will need,
- A buttoned collared shirt
- A bow tie
- Self-esteem
And here’s some written directions to further complicate matters for you,
- Pop your collar up and place the bow tie around your neck with one side slightly longer.
- Wrap the longer side over the front and cross it and bring it up through the top, tighten it accordingly.
- Take the longer end and throw it over your shoulder, out of the way.
- Grab the shorter end and fold it inwards to create the bow tie shape.
- Take the longer end from your shoulder over the front of the bow tie shape.
- Take the shorter end and fold it, look for the hole created just behind it.
- Take the longer end, fold it inward and push it through the hole.
- Use your pointer finger and grab the loop and tighten it accordingly.
