So basically just buy/get pieces that fit the way you want them. Most of these hacks though are useful when you just happen to own pieces that are too big or long for you. Btw, I just realized how much I like the background of your videos.

[@JamesLeung]

For sure man. As I said, the best thing you can do is buy things that actually fit! But sometimes with a vintage piece this isn’t the case, or maybe you have old clothes that used to fit and maybe too big for you now. Thanks for watching ✌️

[@flufftronable]

Another good one mate

[@rlamata86]

The black elastic bands are everything! I bought a pack of those just for the purpose of styling and cuffing. And I made sure I have a couple inside my everyday bag or pouch for back up or just in case you'll need it. 🔥🔥🔥

[@HarryHas]

Nice tips man! All about the inverted V with denim jackets. Have a good one

[@JamesLeung]

Nice one mate!

[@bechirbensaber5277]

I can hear this comment and see the smile while you are saying it ! haha good job mate have a nice day

[@allegrifan4933]

My mom always bought me clothes that are too large because she wanted it to last if I grew taller lol so these tips are helpful. New subscriber

[@JamesLeung]

Haha same, thank you!

[@moog5260]

I have done the 'aesthetic v' for a long while I never really thought about it but always felt it looked better

[@JamesLeung]

You’re naturally stylish haha!

[@yey2371]

I’ll try hairband with my uniqlo t-shirt thanks !

[@JamesLeung]

Nice, let me know if it works!

[@30m3]

I was not aware of that reverse cuffing hack. Thank you.

[@JamesLeung]

It’s super useful! Thanks for watching

[@suhben]

Never thought I'd be in the market for hair ties but here I am

[@shaunmeyer3202]

Great video James, lots of useful style tips! 😀

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you!

[@albertiglesias5309]

Great tip. I'll definitely do this with my oversized lakers swingmans:)

[@abidmiah6193]

Another great video James, have a good day. ✌️

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks man 🙏

[@duyluu3354]

Yes. There is so many ways to wear existing clothes. I like to pin roll my denim pants or give it one up turn when wearing low cut socks with sneakers to show ankle. The look pairs well with rolled up t-shirt sleeves and shirt hem tucked in.

[@kensheesh]

Good to see you again, please do more videos :)

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you! Will do mate haha

[@Oily_Jimm]

For cropped basic tees i highly recommend the Hollister boxy crop tee. Under 20 quid each, Large fits me perfectly at 6ft3 sitting right below the waist line and are really soft with a brushed feel 👍

[@Living_galaxy]

Thank you sir

[@JamesLeung]

I’ve heard good things about them, thanks!

[@rielana]

Ah, thank you, James! You dont know how helpful these are to me. Especially the tee cropping with rubber band one❤

[@JamesLeung]

You’re welcome! I use that one all the time!

[@victornewman508]

Love the inverted V look on jackets and shirts, thanks

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you!

[@who_what]

I find the invisible cuff is sometimes even better than pants already tailored to the correct length because it adds some weight to the bottom of the pants for drape

[@JamesLeung]

Very good point!

[@DMorgan77]

Another great one James!

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you!

[@marsyu5816]

Very useful hacks, thanks James!

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks for watching!

[@jhieatt20]

great tips, thank you sir!

[@chrisduran]

That saftey pin hack for the back of the leg is going to allow me to wear some wide leg jeans that have been sitting in my closet for months. Thanks mate!

[@andreimakhoul7133]

great video as usual!

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you 🙏

[@BobMaree]

Very good and helpfull video mate 👍

[@JamesLeung]

Glad you liked it mate!

[@carolinefiller3745]

Great hacks

[@KciNim0D]

where is your western belt from? amazing tips by the way! ◡̈

[@Lilothestitch]

6:45 Speaking of Baggy Jeans, I bought a pair of Weekday Astro Baggy Loose Jeans in Europe but they seem too big on me even though my size is 32 x 32. What do you recommend I do for this?

[@JamesLeung]

I usually wear 29 and I had to size down to a 27 and they’re still a bit big on me, so annoying!

[@user-sn6fe7qn6w]

For the over the shoulder sweater look, just fold the top of the sweater over and wear that part against your back: easy!!!

[@JamesLeung]

Sounds much easier haha thanks

[@coffee-jezus]

Massive food for thought. Often I'll have pieces I've judged on their immediate impression, rather than hacking them for different looks, seasons and changing styles, and there's a fair bit here which are not only really effective for me in principal, but they look fabulous after. Did you pick these up from elsewhere, from trying stuff out yourself or bit of both? Something else I've been thinking about regarding your personal; preferences and shopping in the Women's section; I think it was John Lewis who said they would be combining their kids sections because a pair of jeans or a tee in that regard worked across both genders. Do you think such a thing could apply with clothes .. ie all the items being unisex and leaning into the different cuts and options available? Or does this exist anyway with some retailers? Genuinely curious :) Thanks again for an ace vid!

[@JamesLeung]

Sometimes I’ve purchased things too big for me because I like the look of them (I don’t do this much anymore). Or sometimes ordered something vintage and it turned out to be a lot bigger than expected (the denim shirt for example). And for whatever reason I haven’t got around to tailoring them, but I find these hacks work very well in the interim! And yes I definitely think unisex clothing is on the horizon, some brands are already doing it which makes a lot of sense! Thanks for watching

[@Azoki]

What jeans were those at 7:30??

[@moog5260]

hairbands is a nice trick thanks for that one!

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks for watching!

[@KamisatoElias]

Gosh I feel mortified, it said I wasn’t subscribed and I’ve been watching you for over a year!! I must’ve accidentally unsubscribed at some point

[@LucaMatteis]

The tip on cropping tops with 2 hair-bands is game-changer for me. I just tried it on my oversized tshirts and i love how the weight of the bands make the tshirt stay close to my body and feels much better fitted. Before the tshirt would just float on me. Such a nice hack thanks!

[@patrickpatel5527]

I’m off to the shops to buy myself some hair bands. Thank you for the advice 👍

[@JamesLeung]

Awesome, let me know how you get on!

[@jasonarias6828]

💛💛💛

[@fritesmetkaas]

I have (unfortunately) a detroit jacket that is too long, is there any trick to wear it better?

[@JamesLeung]

It will be tricky with a Detroit because the material is so stiff. Might be best to sell and buy a smaller one!

[@fritesmetkaas]

@@JamesLeung indeed. Thank you for your advice!

[@casuallyworked4698]

James many of these are poor hacks. When cinching the back with a safety pins, as soon as you do any movements, stretching, hugging someone etc the pin will come out. Reducing the pants waist makes the crotch area look terrible. The hair bands hack? Just buy clothes that actually fits you.

[@itstheKT]

He mentions a lot of that in the beginning and throughout the video. Maybe more emphasis on the safety pin stuff? I’ve tried the safety pin hack for my ankles and they came apart and stabbed the back of my ankles when I was just walking around

[@jacobjb]

I've done the safety pin hack for like 7 months now but I stopped because I finally found better pants. Anyways my point is it never came undone so maybe you guys need to get sturdier safety pins because I've had some that are really flimsy and others are real good and hard to bend.

[@mykrulestheworld943]

😍😍😍

[@JamesLeung]

✌️

[@rushankhan7]

Aaahh! Rubber bands! thats what i was missing this whole time *facepalm*

[@timotialban2688]

James my favorite is sholace as a belt and when wearing dunks I slide the tongue up all the way from the inside and stop at the height of the unkle. This makes sure it looks like a nice keds and the toung is in place. Also using a fjalraven backpack as a sidebag or a portfolio adds ten points to a simple normie outfit. For perfume hacks, buy those rollon tiny versions of your favorite so you can refresh up the fragrance after a few hours. For nice hair, use redken treatment cream after showering, looks like cum but if you mess with it until its dry, your hair will be so soft and allow any style you want and it smells nice too.

[@socializewitheveryone6172]

Harry has and you dropping at the same time

[@JamesLeung]

Always haha

[@memelord3348]

honestly just get it tailored

[@ahmed]

if thats a stained sweatshirt, mine is a church window

[@TuneinR]

Honestly...most of the items i buy,they are the right sizes but i alway do some little tweaks to get them right.Example,if the jeans is 100% cotton and slightly a bit long or big in the waist,i soakes it in warm water to give it a slight shrink.I do the same thing with 100% polos.These tips are necessary for items that are your size but SLIGHT big.....Not toooo big.Anything above that....visit a tailor.

[@JamesLeung]

Good call 👍

[@dunwannaduit]

8:07 For pants that are loose on the waist, as a slim guy, I wear shorts inside and a belt. A bit uncomfortable but gives me a perfect fit.

[@JamesLeung]

That’s such a good tip, thanks!

[@Lilothestitch]

This is so interesting that I like it

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you!

[@habl00pep]

life’s a drag but yer jeans don’t need to

[@andygarcia4497]

Short lenght trousers arent professional... as in the last brown pants

[@Aslamxsha]

Camera is too near you man .

[@brcgaines]
