When thrifting, shoppers don’t always have the privilege of trying on clothes before buying them. Sometimes stores may not have fitting rooms, or perhaps the rooms have a long line, and you don’t want to stand around waiting. For others, the concern is cleanliness–when thrifting, it’s probably not a good idea to try on the used clothes before washing them.
To make sure you’re buying the right size, shoppers came up with a “neck trick” you can use when buying clothes. This jeans-sizing hack has been around since before social media, but it recently resurfaced on TikTok and changed the lives of many fashionistas. One TikToker eager to try the hack, however, ended up at Urgent Care days later.
