The Genius Hack That Prevents Your Jeans From Touching The Ground

This video showcasing the hack for too-long jeans was originally posted by Bo Brown in December 2022. Brown is a fashion influencer from the Netherlands with over 725,000 followers on TikTok and 1.1 million followers on Instagram. In her Instagram bio, she describes her brand as "your source of useful fashion inspo," as she often posts hacks and how-to videos to help others put together fashion-forward outfits. 

Besides your favorite pair of wide-leg jeans, Brown's hack for keeping them from touching the ground only requires two items: elastics, one for each leg. These will help you roll the pants legs and keep them cropped and in place all day. Be sure to choose elastics that fit around your leg snugly without being too tight, as you don't want any discomfort. 

Once you're ready to go, choose a leg to start with and pull an elastic over that foot and pants leg. Place the elastic as high on your leg as you would like, depending on how much the pants leg needs to be cropped.
