How to get rid of annoying waist gap in your jeans using the shoelace hack

[@anubhutitrivedi7455]

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

[@nikitatavernitilitvynova]

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.

“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.

[@Selakora]

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

[@YourFaulty]

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.

[@Lampey22]

@@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

[@Selakora]

@@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

I think another good solution is to get jeans with the elastic on the inside, the one where you attach it to the button. But using a shoelace is a nice idea too! 😊

[@Nyxthehawk]

Elastic also works if you think the shoelaces will bother you. I work in a costume shop and I’ve done this on both pants and sleeves that were a little too big. Depends on exactly how much it needs to be taken up though, both the elastic and shoelace techniques work if the gap isn’t too severe but it’d need to be actually sewn if the waist is huge on you.

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 😭

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

If you want as easier way to get a lace through any kind of clothing (like a hoodie too for example) use a long plastic reusable straw! They are long but slim enough to get easily through the fabric and you can simply put the lace through it after, it glides super easily!

@@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.
