For the people who are saying "just use belt" so let me tell you that some people have much wide waist gap and if we use belt then it's gonna look bulky from the back
Also not all belts work for everyone. For example I can't use a normal belt. It's too long for me. So I have to either get a fancy custom belt or spend a lot of money on a leather belt. So I have to pay a lot regardless. Because cheaper belts that do fit me fall apart within a year.
I can’t help but laugh because this is how a lot of children’s jeans are made. They have an elastic inside so you can tighten the waist to fit them lol
The people who are saying "just wear a belt" clearly don't have this issue, because you'd know belts don't actually solve it they just end up looking weird and bunched up in the back OR the gap is still there. This is actually a really good hack! Time consuming, but looks really good!
I think also its a cost effective hack for if you thrift shop. Maybe you can get a secondhand pair of jeans that need that extra little hack to sit right
Who the hell cares about what a little strap looks like . No one is looking there anyways . Its a usless hack .yall worrry about absolutely nothing for no reason 😅
As a woman with a big booty, I can honestly say that when Levi’s started making curvy fit jeans, it was life changing!!! I fought that waist gap for years because my booty was big but my waist was small.
If the waist is much bigger than your own, it'll look bad if you do this. The extra fabric bunches up like a diaper. Only worth doing if it's just a little gap
If you have skinny kids and they have this problem, look at the insides of pants before you buy them. You will start to notice that they sell a lot of kids pants with this inside that helps you adjust the waist.
i think we all know this 💀 the issue is with us young adults/adults bc our clothes isn’t made like kid clothes 🤧 i was so disappointed when i found out “big people clothes” don’t have the adjustable waist 😤
I used to wear such jeans a lot when I was a kid, I still have a problem with fitting jeans to my waist but sadly now no jeans my size have the adjustable elastics.
“Use a belt” and “Get an ass” comments are clearly coming from people who haven’t had this issue. It’s not about the size of your bottom, its mainly the thighs. Using a belt is uncomfortable with an issue like this because the jeans scrunch up in the most awkward way possible.
EXACTLY. Also I find if ironic that they say "get an ass" because this particular problem it's caused when you have big thighs and butt. I saw a comment saying it was because she's tiny but I've had the same issue when I was overweight because of my body shape alone
For real. And “get an ass” doesn’t even make sense because for many people it’s literally caused by having a skinny waist and large thighs/ass… the jeans don’t curve enough to accommodate for the distance between the edge of the butt and edge of the waist.
@@Selakoraactually i had this problem when i was a teen and i have always been a skinny girl so i didn’t have a big bottom. My waist was extremely small amd my legs were very long so i always bought jeans for my leg size and adjusted the waist. Thankfully, i’ve grown up and am well proportioned now :D
@@Lampey22 well, there you go xD All kind of girls can have this problem. It's good to hear it doesn't happen to you anymore c: To me it's usually because if I find pants that adjust to my waist, they don't fit with my thighs and vice versa, so the easiest option is just fit my legs and live with the waist as it is lol
Omg literally! I have really long legs and I'm a bit underweight so I have to choose between jeans being long enough but too wide or else them being like 5 inches too short but fine in width, honestly miss being a kid cause of this 😭
It's somehow annoying to read the "use a belt" comments. They don't work. Most or them at least, they just get a weird shape and bend or go over the jeans because they do not adapt to the shape of the waist.
Yea especially if the jeans dont match the belt, for example like a cream or light blue colour jean with brown or black, like they dont match and they look obnoxious, whereas I personally love the look of a jean with no belt xx

@@lunaromance2243 it could be because people lost weight? for me, even the jeans I find closest to my size always have that gap. I’m short and most brands don’t carry the right size or fit for me.
Ig some people don’t get how hard finding jeans that fit is!!!! My body type is SO hard to find correct jeans for. If it’s perfect in the thighs, it’s too big in the waist and vice versa. Don’t get me started on pockets and ankle lengths 🤦♀️
I hate wearing jeans because if it fits my waist/stomach then it’s way too tight on my legs and if it fits my legs then it’s way too loose on my waist and stomach 😭😭
Funny thing is: I'm a guy and I have exactly the same problem... I am mountain biking pretty often and my legs are a bit bigger than the standard at my height. I definitely can't wear jeans and I can't wear belts on normal pants while riding my bike because those 'cut' into my hips after a few hours... Luckily most MTB/cycling pants have those things built in because most of us have that problem lol

It's not about the tiny waist. It's really uncomfortable to have that gap. I'm not skinny, but because of my thicker body shape and that I keep gaining and loosing weight my pants end up with that gap and it's really annoying when the gap is particularly big. I've had that gap even when I was still considered overweight Plus, even if she's skinny, if she finds it uncomfortable why should she just accept it because you think so? 😂 It's her clothes and her comfiness
Just, please don’t leave raw edges if you cut holes in your fabric. Do a buttonhole stitch (by hand) around the edge of the holes using normal thread or embroidery floss. Don’t just leave it. Those holes will fray out and continue to get bigger and bigger.

@@Unknown-pg8mn I don’t like belts they make my outfits look ugly. I prefer simple clean lines around the waistband of the jeans. Belts can be ugly and if my jeans fit big you will never catch me wearing a belt. Also they are uncomfortable and ugly :(
@@codycast generally it's not just the size but the shape of your body that affects the waist gap. You could be overweight but still have a waist gap bc your butt and hips are bigger than your waist. You could also be underweight and not have a waist gap. Just depends on the structure of your body, not your size.
I always say, having a true hourglass figure is a blessing… UNTIL it comes to buying jeans! 😂 I always have such a huge gap in the waist and even wearing a belt doesn’t look right because it bunches up. But if I try to size smaller, the jeans are way too tight on the hip/booty/thigh area…I will absolutely try this hack, thank you!!!
Use a pen with cap or any long stick that you can tie the string in. Also even you can push the string in one bobby pin and even that is sufficient to push it through, but would be a little difficult to work with it.
I find a safety pin easier to use, you can prick the pin in two points, clip it safe and then pull it through the inside of the waistline of the jeans..
This was so helpful! I remember making pants in a sewing class one time and we had to do the same thing to make a drawstring. I love this so much more than wearing a belt because the belt just scrunched up and can be pretty annoying with how hard it is
Her: "Use some string and a bobby pin" Belts: "Am I a joke to you?" This is simply a joke. People replying to my comment dont seem to understand that. If u fail to understand that this simply is a joke, then, well I feel sorry for u. Thx for all the likes btw :)

@@alvin5122 I didn't say it only applies to women, but obviously someone saying this has never gone through the struggle of trying to put on a belt with jeans and it not looking right due to the curves of your body. But go off I guess.
@@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie Agreed. I even worked at Levi’s for three years and this was a consistent problem. The reason that trick (or having the waist altered) works is because it literally changes the shape, where a belt squishes excess fabric together, creating folds and gaps.
Or pants that don't go all the way up to your damn belly button.... you'll have plenty of opportunities to wear high waisted pants when you're elderly....
Some 'expensive' jeans I had (given by my older cousins) actually have rubber bands and buttons inside to adjust the size if you are losing/gaining weight
If you want to elevate this a bit more you can try this exact thing but get elastics meant for sewing from the dollar store and it doesn’t take much to sew it on both sides of the pants, just weave it in. It’ll look more seamless and you won’t have to deal with string on the inside of ur jeans
🤣🤣good one. Except The jeans I bought don't have these belt things to put the belt through (sorry I don't know what they are called 😅). This helped me out a lot
Yeah yeah yeah belt belt belt, if you don't like the hack then wear a Damn belt. Personally I like it because I don't always favor belts with my outfits. Thank you for this!
@@kx_xx look at Zara’s baby jeans on the inside and you will know. You can put some elastic with buttons and adjust perfectly to your waist. And you can size up whenever you ate a bit much or got a couple pounds and size down when you lose some weight too. Game changer.
Ahhh am I the only one who's already had this done for their pants, I mean done by the company. I live in Alabama. Theres no way we're ahead of everyone. I mean it takes months to catch up, is it just the benefits of always have shopped at thrift stores? I swear I'll never forget the button indents on my skin from when I grew a little too much. I feel crazy haha why is everyone so shocked
yep, as an hour glass bordering on pear shape, I've been doing this to all my strides since I was about 12 or 13 years old... and that's a loooong time... ;))
I would recommend to shop for curvy sized jeans. They have around 2-3 more inches around the hip area so you don’t have to choose a bigger size around the waist!
@@envytee9659 but belts on the outside can severely alter how the jeans look. i hate wearing belts with wide waist jeans bc like the other person said, it bunches up unnecessarily. the shoelace/elastic hack is concealed on the inside and doesn’t cause any bunching up, therefore making it look nicer.
I needed nearly 3 inches taken out of the top. I had to learn to sew darts in the top to get pants and shorts to fit properly. Belts just bunched the pants together and caused it to droop and expose my underwear. I hope none of you had to go through what I had to to learn that clothes have never been made for my body type. “Curvy fit” pants always only had a .5-1in diffence and never did anything for me.
I can't thank enough for this hack, being pear shaped body it's sometimes extremely difficult and gets baggy from back of the jeans but this truly works ❤ thanks a ton!
A girl in my class did this (but with the string on the outside I’m guessing it’s bc she didn’t wanna cut her jeans) and our teacher (a lady) came up to her and said “I didn’t realize that was a shoe lace, I thought we had a thong situation going on” 😭
I always have this problem and I hate wearing a belt. Unfortunately almost all of my jeans have some sort of tag or label that’s stitched through both sides, and when I tried to do this it wouldn’t go through unless I cut the whole labels off😭
Perfect.. I came to the comments section to mention our age old nada, but glad to see you've already done the honours 😅 So many "innovative" ideas are so close to our traditional simple methods.. The British trashed our customs and culture to sell us their products.. e.g. koele aur namak se kaun daant maanjta hai bewakoof, hamara toothpaste use karo.. and toothpaste ads these days - kya aapke toothpaste mein namak hai? Now introducing, toothpaste with the magic power of charcoal.. All these face packs with the magic power of mud bath, charcoal cleansing, honey, lemon, rose water and what not... Arrey yahi sab toh hum barso se ghar pe karte aa rahe the.. entire generations got brainwashed into buying foreign products, forgetting our solid ancient wisdom.. 🤦♀️
I haven't heard of nada but this is closest thing I can find. Everyone else losing theirs minds over something I wear has always existed. Like I remember getting little button indents in my waist from the straps put through the pants. Theyd have little holes to button them to size I live and always have lived in Alabama but we got out clothes from thrift stores. Idk I feel a little crazy, everyone losing their minds over something I swear I've always had. Its cool to know its from India, are yalls button or straps you tie?
@@iamaperson4841 what they are talking about the nada you can think of a drawstring as an equivalent. So it's always tied. I used to have similar jeans where there was an elastic inside the waistband and it had buttonholes that you could adjust.
You literally saved three pairs of my jeans that made me uncomfortable because of that problem, but then I saw your video and I said to try it and I was so impressed and happy that it worked. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Or: how to make your jeans look gathered. It doesn’t appear like that for her, because it isn’t that big of a gap, but if the jeans were a little bit bigger or big enough to need a belt to stay up, it would make them look bunched up because they are essentially gathered
Maybe I’m going insane but why do I remember having straps to help with this built into my jeans when I was younger? And why the hell can’t the adults have them?
i remember having them! i think they don’t put it in adult ones bc kids are constantly growing and going through puberty/growth spurts, so instead of buying new jeans constantly you can just adjust it on the inside. but it’s weird cos i started wearing adult jeans at the start of puberty cos i couldn’t fit into kids jeans anymore since i grew so fast.
Belts don’t really fix this problem, they just bunch your jeans up and sometimes make the gap look even worse when it’s closed. The drawstring is genius.
@@Pickle_Riiiick It closes the gap without bunching the jeans up underneath a belt that still slides around under the belt loops. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's okay to just not worry about it.
@@Pickle_Riiiick I mean, sweatpants don't bunch up when you tighten a drawstring. If there is bunching, it's usually contained to the inside o the waistband where it isn't visible. With a belt, it's visible from the outside too.
@@SeemsLikeSomething You make a fair point, I know the goal of this video is super simple solution but it could be improved by using elastic and sewing the ends to the waistband. Or you could get away with a angle knot by stitching the one side of the string into the waistband and only tying the other side.
Belt creates a fold on the waist and that draws attention to how the waist isn’t the right size- which is the opposite of what you want. This fixes that.
Exactly Idk the people saying just use a belt like I have a big butt and I always have a gap a belt just makes it looks like I'm wearing jeans that aren't my size.
I get u- I wrote a comment on someone else's comment talking about how belts aren't always what people want so I agree with u (also thank you for not being a member of the belt army in the comments)
Hello! I'm a tailor and we do this often (with elastic instead, and it's obviously sewn down) and might k recommend a safety pin instead? It's more likely to stay when you push it through. Great video!
I feel like regardless it will be complicated to actually get the Bobby pin or safety pin to the other side…is there a trick for that? Cuz it will be hard to actually get a good grip ad pull it while it’s completely inside
@@ChotterChannel I try to find the longest safety pin I can (typically have a few 2 inchers laying around) and you really just have to inchworm the fabric along. Bunch as much of it onto the safety pin as you can, then hold the tip of the safety pin and pull the fabric to unbunch. There are some drawstring threader tools out there but its the same process. I don’t find them to be much better and a safety pin is easier for me to find.
problem with belts is that the material doesn’t bunch up and gather nicely like with the lace trick. instead, all the extra fabric folds downwards and goes under the belt, so the belt is sort of on your skin while the jeans hang below 😭
Try using a safety pin instead of a bobby pin so you don't risk losing it while travelling trough the jeans. Also if you use elastic band you can saw the two ends just out of the opening you made in the jeans. This way you don't have to make the knot but you just reduce the waist and now closing the buttons is just what you need.
For the people who are saying "just use belt" so let me tell you that some people have much wide waist gap and if we use belt then it's gonna look bulky from the back

@@codycast generally it's not just the size but the shape of your body that affects the waist gap. You could be overweight but still have a waist gap bc your butt and hips are bigger than your waist. You could also be underweight and not have a waist gap. Just depends on the structure of your body, not your size.
It’s not for me I have a belly but my but and thighs are bigger so when I get Jeans that fit but not for my upper haft.
Just buy pants that are too big.
I always say, having a true hourglass figure is a blessing… UNTIL it comes to buying jeans! 😂 I always have such a huge gap in the waist and even wearing a belt doesn’t look right because it bunches up. But if I try to size smaller, the jeans are way too tight on the hip/booty/thigh area…I will absolutely try this hack, thank you!!!
I’d recommend using a safety pin, it works a bit better for inserting the shoelace since it’s a lot less likely to slip off 👍

This is essentially adding a waistband. Elastic and a button works well too, and you don’t have a knot digging into your belly.

Sometimes my belt remains up and the gap is still out. This is actually helpful for those who don’t know.
I’m still stuck on trying to get that Bobby pin all the way through the waistline
Use a pen with cap or any long stick that you can tie the string in. Also even you can push the string in one bobby pin and even that is sufficient to push it through, but would be a little difficult to work with it.
I find a safety pin easier to use, you can prick the pin in two points, clip it safe and then pull it through the inside of the waistline of the jeans..
use a safety pin it helps
Yeah the idea that this is a hack. It takes ages. Only really necessary if you have patience. The gains are minimal for a lot of time used up.
@@IshtarNike ....I tried, took me less than five minutes....
This was so helpful! I remember making pants in a sewing class one time and we had to do the same thing to make a drawstring. I love this so much more than wearing a belt because the belt just scrunched up and can be pretty annoying with how hard it is
why do people wish they had this problem😭 no you don’t
Wow, you should call this innovative invention a "belt"
Hmmm might work but I'm not sure. The name is a little bit too exotic
Women don’t like the name “belt”, it sounds too manly and complicated.
Yes they like to use primitive technology
It's not a belt though, it's literally what you do when you don't want to wear a visible belt

I think girls don't like belts for some reason. I really don't know why but I've seen on multiple occasoons girls avoiding putting on a belt.
@@dandcc9192 it’s cuz they’re uncomfortable & don’t go w a lot of outfits. They don’t even look good or sit right half the time. This solution is seamless and easy, plus, unlike a belt it stays in the pants 24/7

Thanks been fixing my shorts and sweats like this for years glad to see it actually works on jeans too 😂
Amazing. Now you even can use your belt to replace that missing lace in your shoe.
Women problems. Also imagine using ur front pockets but thats a story for another day... :DDD
I don't like belts so I think this is cool, even tho I knew about this since I was a kid.
some people dont like belts and you can also very much just buy extra shoelaces from the store, much cheaper than a belt 💀
I came in her to make some sort of belt comment, but yours was better. Who said women aren't funny?
.
Man, if only jeans were designed with loops that could be fitted with some kind of fabric rope to synch them to your waist size... 😕
I feel like you're not a woman. And you've never had to go through the struggle of wearing a belt as a woman with any kind of curves.
It's a cool trick it's not like you have to do it more than once
Belts are bulky and annoying, personally I don’t like belts and feel they bunch the material. This is actually genius.
@@alvin5122 I didn't say it only applies to women, but obviously someone saying this has never gone through the struggle of trying to put on a belt with jeans and it not looking right due to the curves of your body. But go off I guess.
@@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie Agreed. I even worked at Levi’s for three years and this was a consistent problem. The reason that trick (or having the waist altered) works is because it literally changes the shape, where a belt squishes excess fabric together, creating folds and gaps.

If you don't wanna risk ruinning your jeans, an alternative is to start making daily trips to Macdonald's.
Or a belt
Or pants that don't go all the way up to your damn belly button.... you'll have plenty of opportunities to wear high waisted pants when you're elderly....
or you can just wear a belt

I don't get a perfect jeans that fit my waist ,now I am wearing my jeans perfectly with the help of this hack ,really amazing
Some 'expensive' jeans I had (given by my older cousins) actually have rubber bands and buttons inside to adjust the size if you are losing/gaining weight
most men’s dress pants have similar
Most children’s pants have them too lol
Yeah.. i miss those times when those bands were included in every single pair of jeans
I've only seen those with kid's jeans and old men dress slacks
Or just eat more.

Built? She's purposely pushing her ass out. Giving herself a case of ATP.
If you want to elevate this a bit more you can try this exact thing but get elastics meant for sewing from the dollar store and it doesn’t take much to sew it on both sides of the pants, just weave it in. It’ll look more seamless and you won’t have to deal with string on the inside of ur jeans
I do this hack but with elastic, and sew it in. Gives me a cute elastic waist for my jeans, I get compliments all the time! Also VERY comfortable.
Y’all, when I do this with a regular belt it gets all jumbled and scrunched and looks rly bad, stop hating it’s a good trick

Yes! You can also use elastic and hand stitch both sides down. Game changer
Wait what do u mean by “hand stitch both sides down” what sides? Which part do we stitch?!
@@kx_xx look at Zara’s baby jeans on the inside and you will know. You can put some elastic with buttons and adjust perfectly to your waist. And you can size up whenever you ate a bit much or got a couple pounds and size down when you lose some weight too. Game changer.
Ahhh am I the only one who's already had this done for their pants, I mean done by the company. I live in Alabama. Theres no way we're ahead of everyone. I mean it takes months to catch up, is it just the benefits of always have shopped at thrift stores? I swear I'll never forget the button indents on my skin from when I grew a little too much. I feel crazy haha why is everyone so shocked
@@allwhatilove914 I wish they still put elastic to adjust the waist in adult jeans.
yep, as an hour glass bordering on pear shape, I've been doing this to all my strides since I was about 12 or 13 years old... and that's a loooong time... ;))
I would recommend to shop for curvy sized jeans. They have around 2-3 more inches around the hip area so you don’t have to choose a bigger size around the waist!
To all you crying about using a belt, this is also useful for other pants that do not have belt loop smh
Funny how this problem can be solved just by wearing a belt.
Actually with a belt it'll bunch up and look uneven. That's what happens with my jeans and I wear belts...
@@lungilecele1975 But you do realize that the string is simply acting as a belt right? Just hidden under the seam.
But it wont look nice 😂 I hate belts for that reason
@@envytee9659 but belts on the outside can severely alter how the jeans look. i hate wearing belts with wide waist jeans bc like the other person said, it bunches up unnecessarily. the shoelace/elastic hack is concealed on the inside and doesn’t cause any bunching up, therefore making it look nicer.
Belts don't look good on jeans
I needed nearly 3 inches taken out of the top. I had to learn to sew darts in the top to get pants and shorts to fit properly. Belts just bunched the pants together and caused it to droop and expose my underwear. I hope none of you had to go through what I had to to learn that clothes have never been made for my body type. “Curvy fit” pants always only had a .5-1in diffence and never did anything for me.
I can't thank enough for this hack, being pear shaped body it's sometimes extremely difficult and gets baggy from back of the jeans but this truly works ❤ thanks a ton!
A girl in my class did this (but with the string on the outside I’m guessing it’s bc she didn’t wanna cut her jeans) and our teacher (a lady) came up to her and said “I didn’t realize that was a shoe lace, I thought we had a thong situation going on” 😭
Ye think it’s sort of a new trend to use shoelaces as a belt. Seen a lot of girls lately wearing it.
@@kittycatcuties Nah, kids have been doing that since the Scene days
@@lindsey9958 Oh didn't know that, but still trends are usually recycled anyway soo... guess it's just more mainstream now to do this.
@@kittycatcuties skaters have been doing this for a long time as well
i miss being a kid and having those elastic adjustables on my jeans 🥲
You can still buy them, can't you? Jogger jeans?
@@kc4276 I’ve never heard of those
Jeans… for jogging?
I always have this problem and I hate wearing a belt. Unfortunately almost all of my jeans have some sort of tag or label that’s stitched through both sides, and when I tried to do this it wouldn’t go through unless I cut the whole labels off😭
Instead of cutting the labels make two more holes on the sides of label and pass the shoe lace through it.
I'm in love with this hack FIXED MY JEANS PROBLEM I'M NO LONGER DEPRESSED I LOVE WHOEVER MADE THIS HACK HAVE A GOOD LIFE MWAG

This is called nada in india its been for ages even before elastics and belt were a thing in india
Perfect.. I came to the comments section to mention our age old nada, but glad to see you've already done the honours 😅
So many "innovative" ideas are so close to our traditional simple methods..
The British trashed our customs and culture to sell us their products.. e.g. koele aur namak se kaun daant maanjta hai bewakoof, hamara toothpaste use karo.. and toothpaste ads these days - kya aapke toothpaste mein namak hai? Now introducing, toothpaste with the magic power of charcoal..
All these face packs with the magic power of mud bath, charcoal cleansing, honey, lemon, rose water and what not...
Arrey yahi sab toh hum barso se ghar pe karte aa rahe the.. entire generations got brainwashed into buying foreign products, forgetting our solid ancient wisdom.. 🤦♀️
🤣🤣 right, fact that they are learning this now.
I haven't heard of nada but this is closest thing I can find. Everyone else losing theirs minds over something I wear has always existed.
Like I remember getting little button indents in my waist from the straps put through the pants. Theyd have little holes to button them to size
I live and always have lived in Alabama but we got out clothes from thrift stores.
Idk I feel a little crazy, everyone losing their minds over something I swear I've always had. Its cool to know its from India, are yalls button or straps you tie?
@@iamaperson4841 what they are talking about the nada you can think of a drawstring as an equivalent. So it's always tied. I used to have similar jeans where there was an elastic inside the waistband and it had buttonholes that you could adjust.
@@Checkitytu 🤣🤣🤣 pta tha
Dude! I have this problem with nearly all of my jeans, will definitely try this!
You literally saved three pairs of my jeans that made me uncomfortable because of that problem, but then I saw your video and I said to try it and I was so impressed and happy that it worked. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
how did u make a hole in the jeans im struggling
Or: how to make your jeans look gathered. It doesn’t appear like that for her, because it isn’t that big of a gap, but if the jeans were a little bit bigger or big enough to need a belt to stay up, it would make them look bunched up because they are essentially gathered
Still looks better than a belt
@@MichelleWilliamsPewDiePie that's a personal preference
@E C Yeah says me. Cause it's my opinion based off of my experience. What's the issue here?
@@Lockz1111 Yeah. It is. And?
Ok well obviously you're supposed to get jeans that fit you smart stuff, this is for a small gap
Maybe I’m going insane but why do I remember having straps to help with this built into my jeans when I was younger? And why the hell can’t the adults have them?
Those were definitely a thing! I had them too
I was wondering the same thing. I don't know why they don't have it for adults.
First of all, you are not going insane, those are pretty common in kids jeans. For why adults don't have them, I have absolutely no idea
i remember having them! i think they don’t put it in adult ones bc kids are constantly growing and going through puberty/growth spurts, so instead of buying new jeans constantly you can just adjust it on the inside. but it’s weird cos i started wearing adult jeans at the start of puberty cos i couldn’t fit into kids jeans anymore since i grew so fast.
i remember having pants with elastic bands + buttons, they were amazing
This is actually really smart!
AMAZING! THANK YOU! 👍
Belts don’t really fix this problem, they just bunch your jeans up and sometimes make the gap look even worse when it’s closed. The drawstring is genius.
And what do you think the drawstring does🤔
@@Pickle_Riiiick It closes the gap without bunching the jeans up underneath a belt that still slides around under the belt loops. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's okay to just not worry about it.
@@Baratsuki it’s still going to bunch the jeans up lmao. Where do you think all that extra fabric goes???🙄
@@Pickle_Riiiick I mean, sweatpants don't bunch up when you tighten a drawstring. If there is bunching, it's usually contained to the inside o the waistband where it isn't visible. With a belt, it's visible from the outside too.
@@Baratsuki jeans are not as flexible as joggers my guy
Don’t tie the two sides together, make a knot on either side and it’ll keep them like that without the need to retie every time you wear them.
Great idea.
@@BettyAlexandriaPride Trick from an old army field jacket
@@johnbeauvais3159 aww thanks for the tip John!
In theory it’s more efficient but I suspect the bump from the knot on both sides will be irritating against your body.
@@SeemsLikeSomething You make a fair point, I know the goal of this video is super simple solution but it could be improved by using elastic and sewing the ends to the waistband. Or you could get away with a angle knot by stitching the one side of the string into the waistband and only tying the other side.
Best hack I ever seen ,really amazing,it's work
Wishing I had this issue so bad rn
Belt creates a fold on the waist and that draws attention to how the waist isn’t the right size- which is the opposite of what you want. This fixes that.
Exactly Idk the people saying just use a belt like I have a big butt and I always have a gap a belt just makes it looks like I'm wearing jeans that aren't my size.
I definitely would struggle with getting the shoe lace through the pants. A belt would be better for me
I get u- I wrote a comment on someone else's comment talking about how belts aren't always what people want so I agree with u (also thank you for not being a member of the belt army in the comments)
For me also the same
Or just buy jeans that fit…..
Hello! I'm a tailor and we do this often (with elastic instead, and it's obviously sewn down) and might k recommend a safety pin instead? It's more likely to stay when you push it through. Great video!
I feel like regardless it will be complicated to actually get the Bobby pin or safety pin to the other side…is there a trick for that? Cuz it will be hard to actually get a good grip ad pull it while it’s completely inside
@@ChotterChannel I try to find the longest safety pin I can (typically have a few 2 inchers laying around) and you really just have to inchworm the fabric along. Bunch as much of it onto the safety pin as you can, then hold the tip of the safety pin and pull the fabric to unbunch. There are some drawstring threader tools out there but its the same process. I don’t find them to be much better and a safety pin is easier for me to find.
What’s a hack for making shorts legs narrower? I have skinny legs and my shorts fit my waist but are too big on my legs
Yes! Safety pin is much more reliable!
problem with belts is that the material doesn’t bunch up and gather nicely like with the lace trick. instead, all the extra fabric folds downwards and goes under the belt, so the belt is sort of on your skin while the jeans hang below 😭
This is the BEST hack for this that i found. Thanks
Try using a safety pin instead of a bobby pin so you don't risk losing it while travelling trough the jeans. Also if you use elastic band you can saw the two ends just out of the opening you made in the jeans. This way you don't have to make the knot but you just reduce the waist and now closing the buttons is just what you need.
Or a wire coat hanger withe shoe lace taped to the end of it
Or wear a belt
Or get fatter.
Omg yeah my mom has been doing this from years
u know too much
