Are the bottoms of your wide pants dragging on the floor? Try this quick, easy and free trick to shorten them in less than a minute.
A few years ago, baggy pants were only worn by skaters and streetwear fans, but that was before! For several seasons now, even the most seasoned fashionistas have been falling for their low waist, ultra-loose cut, and nonchalant, casual look. The only problem: they are sometimes too long, to the point of dragging on the ground… Especially for those who are under 1.70m tall! However, this does not mean that you should give up on wide pants. The solution? Get yourself a small object that everyone has at home. No sewing or cutting, no hemming involved, just a clever idea shared by TikTok user @michelleharrison21.
In order to adjust baggy pants that are too long in terms of length, you must first put them on with the pair of shoes of your choice. Then, visualize what you need to shorten by playing with the volume of the fabric. Roll up the bottom of the jeans on itself and hook the safety pin inside by placing it vertically. In this way, it will form a natural fold which will instantly shorten the pants. Finally, simply put the pants back in place so that you can admire the result. If it fits properly, repeat the operation identically on the other side. And abracadabra! No more damaged, wet and muddy last centimeters.
Note that these pants straight from the 1990s and 2000s can be combined with many styles. For a 100% casual looka loose T-shirt and a pair of colorful sneakers will be your best allies. A blazer jacket, discreet earrings and stiletto ankle boots will break up the slightly too street side of the baggy. Otherwise, it goes perfectly well with a trench coat and a striped sweater on the shoulders for a trendy back-to-school look. But the key is above all to have self-confidence!
