Take a stroll through the nearest college town and I can guarantee you'll see hundreds of students wearing the exact same outfit: a fitted crop top and baggy jeans, with a shoe string tied through the back belt loops. The hack has become a Gen Z signature, allowing an entire generation to circumvent ever having to go to a tailor. Now, it's gone off campus and into Gigi Hadid's day-date wardrobe.
The concept is simple: Tie a shoe string, ribbon (my preferred method), or similar through your back belt loops, effectively cinching your jeans and eliminating the dreaded waist gap. Wearers use this DIY trick to obtain that cool, ultra-loose fit without a sagging waistband.
