The Onassis Knot is named after Aristotle Onassis. He didn’t invent this way of wearing a tie, but he did help propel its popularity.

This knot resembles a scarf when finished as the actual knot is hidden under the wide part of the tie. It’s a great way to flaunt your favorite tie pin or tack and works best when you have a tie that you want to be noticed.
