Four Fashion Hacks That Will Change Your Life

Its always good to be intelligent about what you wear, but have you considered the intelligence of how you wear clothes? With anything in life, hacks exist to make it easy, convenient and smooth. Fashion hacks serve two main purposes: maximizing convenience and elevating style. These unique fashion hacks are going to make you feel like your best self, and once you try them you may never want to go back.

Why Pick Between Shorts and Pants?

If you participate in any athletics or sports, you might wear shorts as apart of your athletic attire, but what if, they can be used in more than just sporty outfits? Wearing shorts under your pants is a fun way to elevate your look as well as provide many benefits, regardless of your athletic level. Perhaps your pants are too low-waisted, and are uncomfortable, shorts under your pants would solve this problem by covering any unwanted areas of skin exposure. Or let’s say, the material of your pants is too slippery and tend to slide down, the shorts underneath would create friction between the pant fabrics, helping your pants sit at your desired level without sliding or shifting. If you need additional pocket space, utilizing shorts with pockets can serve as a secret compartment for all your storage needs. You can collect a whole bunch of colours, styles and patterns to mix and match with all your pants, whether u want the shorts to blend in or have them stand out as and accent or statement, they can look super cool!

Cinching Made Easy

This next hack might be super helpful to fellow short people. The reality is, it’s hard to buy pants that fit because they’re all too long. If you don’t have sewing skills or resources, altering the pants can be a nightmare, but not anymore. Try using hair ties or elastic bands to cinch the bottom of your pants. Its simple, after putting on the pants, slide a hair tie around each ankle of the pant, then fold the fabric over the elastic as many times as your heart desires (and your height requires). Not only does it serve a practical purpose, removing the elastics also gives you an alternative way to style your pants, that’s like buying 2 pants for the price of 1!

Strong- Headed

Have you ever worried about your hat falling off your head? Try attaching shoelaces to them for the most secure fit. If you don’t have extra shoelaces laying around, you can use ribbon or any other string-like object you can find. Start by putting on the hat and indicate which spot is closest to your ears, then simply attach a strand of the lace to each side. This can be done with glue, a sewing needle and thread, or honestly, even a stapler. Once the strings are firmly attached, put the hat back on and tie both sides together at the nape of your neck and tuck under your hair to hide the string. Now you’re all set and it won’t come off until you’re ready to take it off.

Sweatpant-ifying Jeans

This last hack is more of a fun way to wear jeans, though, it could be beneficial if they’re too loose. Sometimes, a belt can seem too chunky, tedious to buckle or unbuckle, or perhaps not quite the right colour. There are also cases where the right gromet may not exist, the perfect fit is in the middle. Why not use a drawstring like sweatpants? Just string one through the belt loops the same way you would a belt, and boom, the perfect fit every time! This hack can be applied to any pants with belt loops, not limited to jeans. Did any of these hacks sound useful to you? Maybe it inspired you to level up some of your own hacks. Try them all out and experiment with your fashion, you’ll be surprised how easy it is to look and feel awesome at the same time!
