Honestly, leaving aside the class associations, I think the question of which looks better is largely dependent on face shape. A wider face will favour a wider knot, a narrower face will favour a narrower knot.
Earlier this week, I asked which tie knot you think looks better. Of course, you can wear whichever you like. But here's the social history behind both knots and why some people consider one better than the other. 🧵
One knot is bigger, more symmetrical. The other knot is smaller, less symmetrical.
Which looks better to you?
