Time to take out your ringing stitches! And yes, the unbearable heat, swimsuits and festivals are (unfortunately) coming to an end. For some of you, fall means bouts of blues and difficulty getting dressed. This is a period during which you have to deal with sweaters that are itchy or decide to shrink in the wash… a scourge that we have all experienced. Despite everything, autumn is shaping up to be the season where each of us can have fun putting together cutting-edge looks with key pieces like tweed jackets, studded ballet flats and even sweaters. Besides, speaking of sweaters, you have just found THE ideal knit without even going through the box “fitting room”. It’s very beautiful, very soft and even oversized: right on trend! Once home, you try it on and there’s the tragedy: it’s way too long and struggles to structure your silhouette. Don’t panic, we have found THE solution to avoid the return to store box, kitchen scissors or retoucher! A fashion influencer has found a simple and effective tip to shorten a sweater that is too long without cutting or sewing.
How to shorten your sweater in seconds?
On her TikTok account, the Bordeaux influencer @lilylovesfashion, who likes to suggest looks, gives you two ultimate tips to readjust your knits in no time. For the first, simply trap part of the front of your sweater at the level of your bra to obtain a shortened effect. Your stitch will then be ready (and the right size)! Small problem: if you raise your arms, your stomach risks being revealed…
For the second option, you will need to equip yourself with an accessory that we all have at home: a scrunchie. Start by tightening the back of your sweater using an elastic band and tucking this part inside the sweater. Unlike the first solution, here, the sweater will be slightly tightened at the front while still showing the top of your jeans.
Simple and quick to make, these different techniques allow you to both shorten your sweaters and also stylize your outfit. Indeed, by tightening the mesh at the waist, you will bring more structure to your look. Wear with jeans, a satin skirt, a pair of sneakers or Birkenstocks or a must-have trench coat, a mid-season essential. Finally, there’s nothing better than reinventing the pieces in your wardrobe to make them the most fashionable outfits of the season: an approach that’s as good for the planet as it is for your wallet. Once you try this tip, you won’t be able to do without it!
