I can tell you've been browsing SF. 
Try pulling your knot a little tighter, and pinch the base of it a bit while doing so. This should help you get a better dimple. See the pic of Spoo's knot in the post above yours. Once you figure out a basic dimpling technique that works for you, you'll pretty much get a decent dimple every time you tie your tie without much thought. Also, excellent choices for your first suit, shirt, and tie (and pocket square).First suit, tie & shirt purchase. Had a crack at the dimple. Got some practice ahead of me...

Thanks Flyswatter. I have been researching a lot on here & browsing heaps of threads for ages to try and get something stylish. I don't have heaps of coin so want to get it right without spending.wasting too much money. Plus, I don't wear a suit for work so don't need alot but I love when I get the chance to wear one! The hardest thing seems to be getting slim enough fit shirts as I am pretty skinny.
Cheers for the knot advice. I will keep practicing. I love Spoo's knots & hope to achieve something like that.

Yeah, it's not self releasing. Pull ends to get out the first loop. The second loop you have to take out by hand.

You should always untie your tie by carefully reversing the knotting process.
