Can’t fit in your jeans anymore? Do not panic ! Here is the unstoppable trick to give a second wind to your clothes that are too small. On TikTok, Lily Schoknecht explained to her followers how her grandmother taught her not to throw away her old pants. Indeed, after buying several second-hand pieces that were too small for her, the young woman visited her “girlfriend”. Explaining the problem, the latter then exclaimed: “ Have you ever showered in it? “According to her, ” showering with your jeans on and wearing them while still wet stretches the material “. Then just let the pants air dry and they should be relaxed enough that you can fit in them without any problems.
Advice that the pretty blonde hastened to follow. Satisfied, she then shared this tip with her community. ” Shower with your jeans on. Trust the process “, she says now. If this technique seems odd, showering with your pants on is an effective way to get the perfect fit. In fact, even experts in the denim industry validate this advice. In 2015, Paul O’Neill of Levi’s Vintage Clothing told GQ columns that he often bathes while wearing new jeans to get the perfect fit.
” First, I buy my jeans in the right size. Then I wear them for a few days before soaking in a hot bath for about 20 minutes. Once the process is complete, I take the jeans off and let them dry in the sun. This shrinks the jeans to your body shape. I also tend to check them when they are almost dry, put them back on and stretch the waist by squatting if necessary. There you go, now you won’t have any excuses if you don’t fit into your jeans!
