- Look what happens!
It loosens!
(upbeat music)
Hey everyone, I'm Chloe and I am very new to TikTok.
Yeah, I didn't quite jump on the bandwagon quick enough,
everyone was talkin' about it and I was like,
"Okay fine, I'll go on it."
I was worried it was just gonna be a bunch of people dancing
which I don't really care about, but I realized
there is so much more to it than that,
and one of the cool things I found
was a lot of fashion DIY hacks and I wanna see
if they actually work
because you gotta try these things out.
Let's give them a go!
So the first hack I'm gonna try is a hack to get jeans
that are too big for you to fit you again.
I don't have jeans, I only have shorts that are too big
but yeah, you see this?
So what she says to do is undo top button,
get this button and put it through this hoop,
which I feel like is gonna be difficult.
These belt hoops are pretty stiff.
So now you're like that,
and then you're supposed to do it up like so.
Ah man.
Ah, this is so difficult!
Hmm, (laughs).
They fit nicely now, this is how I want them to fit,
and I like the fact they dip in the middle here.
They just are all bunched up here.
It might be 'cause these are buttons.
It just looks a bit weird,
I could maybe pull it off as a style.
So it doesn't look too bunched up at the side
which some people were complaining
that that's what they didn't like.
I'm just not tightly down with the front.
I think maybe belt loops are too far away from my button
so I had to pull it over so far to get the button
around the belt hoop, 'cause it doesn't look like that
on the TikTok I'm copying, it looks better.
So maybe if I had a different pair of jeans
it would actually look okay, but for me,
I'm gonna give it a four out of 10
because it didn't really work
on the shorts I want to make smaller.
So there are these really cute tie up tops
that are in at the moment, but it's really hard
to wear them without a bra and some people
don't like not wearing a bra, understandably.
So this is a really cute hack to still wear a bra with it.
This is my tie up top and I'm wearing a sports bra under it,
apparently you can wear a regular bra if you wish.
Basically you take the ends and you fold them
as if you were gonna tie it normally,
but then this one you wanna put up under the sports bra
so it comes out the top like this,
and then tie it normally, so tie a knot here.
That was easy.
Yeah, that's cute!
What if I do another knot?
Does that look better with two knots?
I would honestly give this a 10 out of 10,
there was nothing to complain about here.
It works perfectly and it feels
so much more secure, love it.
The next hack is a really easy way
to make a regular sweatshirt into a cropped sweatshirt.
This is a sweatshirt, it says sweatshirt.
She literally just decides where she wants it cropped to,
so let's say here, fold it up under,
and tucks it into her sports bra, and that is it.
I love it, it's so simple!
She said that other people, and I've seen this on TikTok,
other people will tie a shoelace around here
and stuff like that, but hey,
if this works, this is much better.
Let's see.
I'm honestly struggling to get it completely up at the back.
I'm not very flexible clearly, oh it's falling down.
But from the front this looks really good,
I love cropped stuff and this is just a easy, quick way
and you don't have to cut anything or tie anything around.
Sweatshirt.
Do you have a bracelet
that can't be put on without someone's help?
This is a hack that seems super simple
that could make that happen.
Let's try it.
So get a bracelet, get a bobby pin,
put the bobby pin through the chain like that,
then you're gonna hold the bobby pin here
and wrap this around like so, and then you have
something to grab onto
which isn't just the chain to then do it up!
I love the bracelet hack, I think it worked perfectly,
it just gives you an extra bit to hold onto
which is what you can't usually grab
when you're tryin' to do it yourself.
So I'm gonna give it a 10 out of 10
because there's nothing not to like about it.
Obviously there are loads of tops out there
which the straps show because the neck line doesn't work,
and sometimes you don't wanna wear a strapless bra!
So this is a hack that hides those straps.
So you get a clear bra strap, I guess actually
any bra strap would work, but make sure it's adjustable.
And then you will feed it through your top under your bra
and then on this side catch the other strap,
and then you have these two little bits here
and they can actually fit together.
So you wanna do that so it's like this.
And then hide it.
Ta-da!
Yeah, it works, woo-hoo!
And you actually can't see the strap I don't think.
It might get a bit annoying having something here,
but right now it feels fine
so I'll give this an eight out of 10, it is pretty good.
Sometimes you just don't wanna untie your sweatpants
when you wanna take them off
because you're that lazy, at least I am.
So this is a really cool hack which basically loosens
and tightens your sweatpants so that you actually
haven't to undo them, sounds pretty sweet.
So I got my sweatpants,
no I didn't tie dye these I'm afraid.
They are very cool though.
Get your strings and you wanna make
two little knots in both of them.
So she did hers about here, a regular knot.
Boop, but just don't pull it tight.
So one, and then super simple,
you just feed one through there, and one through the other
like that and then you pull it tight.
So that is your knot, and so it looks like
a normal knotted sweat pant,
but if you pull on these bits look what happens!
It loosens and you can take 'em down or whatever,
and then you pull the ends of this to tighten again.
I've done this too loose
'cause this is not holding up anything.
You want them to be there, I think you have
to put the knots higher, let's try that really quickly.
Yeah, that is way better.
Okay, cool!
Oh my God, I love this it is such
a cute little hack and it's so simple.
I'm going to give this a nine out of 10.
These hacks are killing it!
This is another jeans hack that make bigger jeans fit you,
but it looks a little cleaner than the one before
so I'm excited for this one 'cause I feel like
this is the one that's gonna work, let's see!
All right, I'm back with my baggy shorts
and this time I just need a little scarf.
So I've seen TikToks where they tie it on the side,
and again it kinda pulls everything to one side,
but this is so cute because you tie it in the back.
So the back three loops, and you literally just tie it
until the shorts tighten.
Okay, so the only thing I'm noticing
is that this is starting to get all scrunched
in a weird way, but I think from the front
it will look okay, and that's honestly the main thing.
Yeah, that looks cute!
And look, they fit!
I mean they are a little scrunched
but also the knots kind of hiding it.
I think I'm gonna give this and eight out of 10,
I have seen a lot of different jeans hacks on TikTok
when I was looking for ones I wanted to try
and this is by far the best one.
I'm sure you've seen those really cute Versace scarf tops
which are probably a million dollars,
well this hack is gonna let you make a very cheap version
that is very DIY and I can't wait
to see if it actually works.
So you get a square silk scarf, beautiful.
And then you fold it in half like a triangle.
So you wanna have it like this.
So once it's in a triangle, you wanna take the ends
and tie it in a knot where the bottom of the top will go.
You should be able to pull it up,
I think I might have done it a little tight,
but yeah that's gonna be the end result.
Then you put on your chain.
This tip here you're gonna tuck under like that
and secure it with fashion tape,
I already have some on here,
and I'm a little nervous this won't stay.
I mean it is adorable and looks really cute,
I'm just gonna take off my sports bra to show you.
It's super, super, super cute.
I'm just nervous about this damn tape.
I think if I were to wear this as a real shirt
I would want to sew it so that it is more secure.
Oh no, I pulled it!
Just because I'm scared that it's not secure,
I'm gonna give it a seven.
It's very early 2000s, yes.
The next hack is a cool way to tie up
a baggy T-shirt that isn't just a regular knot.
Also side not, I tie dyed this myself, I'm pretty proud.
So you got your baggy T-shirt
and then just a regular hair tie.
What you wanna do is old school tie it here
like this and then, super simple but pretty effective,
she literally just tucked it
into her sports bra, or her bra.
And it gives a really cool, yeah I love this,
this is so much more interesting than tying a knot.
I love this shape right here, this looks really cute.
I'm gonna give this a 10 out of 10, woo!
Do you have any sweatpants that are baggy
at the bottom that you want tight?
Well this is the hack for you.
So you have your baggy pant here,
you wanna fold it up like so, get your hair tie,
put that around your leg, and then you wanna put it
right in the middle of the folded over part
which is hard because mine are very baggy.
Like that, and then fold this bit over.
Oh no, it went wrong!
Let me fold it up higher, okay.
Hers are not as baggy, I think that's why
she's finding it easier.
In the middle, now fold that bit over.
Okay, and then she tucks the entire lot of it underneath.
Which it kinda sucks.
Yeah, it's not bad.
Is it gonna stay?
I think you just have to kind of adjust it a little bit.
I will say, I've realized that if you just put it
around your leg like that
and just tuck the whole thing under,
it does the exact same thing which is way quicker and easier
and you don't have to worry
about folding this, folding that.
Look, done. (laughs)
And I actually like how it sits better.
I just made up my own hack, brilliant!
The hack did work but I just feel like it was way easier
just to tuck the pants under the hair tie,
so the original one I'm gonna give it a six out of 10.
I think hers would work better on less wide pants.
I am so impressed with most, if not all, of these hacks.
If you've tried any of them before,
let me know in the comments and tell me
if you like them or not, and if you haven't,
I really actually suggest you try them out.
And I'll see you next time.
All right, bye!
