3 techniques for wearing pants with a large waist

Pants with large waists that are left unsold at sales or set cheap at thrift stores. While it is best to wear the right size, if you know how to wear these oversized pants, you will have a wider range of shopping and dressing options. So, in this article, we will introduce three ways to wear over-waisted pants that you would not normally be able to wear!

Just tightening a belt is not enough! How to wear pants with an oversized waist neatly?

Just because you have a big waist, if you tighten the belt too tightly, the pants will lose their shape and look ugly, as shown in the picture. In addition, wrinkles will be randomly formed, making the wearer feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable. The theme of this project is to somehow tuck the waist into a smart fit and wear oversized pants neatly.

I usually wear 30-inch pants, but this time I will show you how to wear them with a much larger size, 38 inches!

1) “Tighten the belt tightly and fold the sides into an S-shape.”

The first method we will introduce is to fold the side part of the waist of the pants in an S-shape. By wearing them this way, the front and back look like normal pants, and the sides are creased neatly, so they are not noticeable. The belt is tightened tightly to keep the folded shape created on the sides.

The first step is to put on the pants and tighten the belt tightly. It is OK to have wrinkles in strange places at first. While adjusting the wrinkles in various places with your fingertips, bring them to two places on each side. Once both sides are even, pinch them together with your fingers to form an S-shape, and you are done.

This is what it looks like from the front. It will be finished as if you are wearing it with a normal waist size.

2) “Dare to fold the waist at the front to make them look like pleated pants.

The method introduced at the beginning was to fold the waist at the side, but this method is to fold the waist at the front to make it look like pleated pants. This method is similar to (1), but by making an S-shaped fold on both sides of the front button (hook), a tuck-like shape can be created.

This is a way to create a fold in the front, so that even if you put a T-shirt over the top, you can still see to some extent that the waist is folded up in this way of wearing. This means that the shape needs to be more neatly arranged than by folding the sides, which are inconspicuous. At this time, it is important to keep in mind that if pleats are to be made, they should be deep pleats. If the pleats are folded halfway, they may look really wrinkled, so if you are going to adopt this method, it is better to do it with pants that are much larger than your size. The deeper pleats will also create a natural drape and give the pants a more expressive look.

3) “Wear the pants as if you were hanging them by the three points of the belt.”

The last method introduced here is to skip the belt holes. This method is characterized by the fact that the belt is threaded through only three points, two on either side of the front button and one at the back, so that the pants are suspended like suspenders. Some people call it “charisma pants,” and it is said that this method spread with the popularity of wearing oversized pants on the waist in the early 2000s.

When I first learned about this method, I was afraid that it would definitely give the pants a strange shape and make them look too dowdy, but when I tried it, I remember being surprised to find that it does not even interfere with the hem of the top, and looks much more beautiful than I had imagined. Moreover, there is no need to fold the fabric as in (1) and (2), so I think this is probably the easiest and best way to do it. You don’t need any technique, and if you have a belt, you can practice this method right away, so I hope you will learn it.

With the T-shirt down, the excess on the sides is not noticeable at all. However, if you don’t tuck it in, the undergarment will be visible through the unbelted sides.
