I’m a fashion expert – how to make any top instantly slimming just using a hair tie
THERE’S a shirt hack you’ll want to keep in your bag of tricks that will help make any top appear slimming.
Stylist Camellia Jade has demonstrated the game-changing method over on her TikTok that’s dedicated to helping women “love what [they] wear.”
“If you have a top that’s too loose and this is your consideration area, and you don’t want to tuck the bottom of your top into the bra, here’s what you can do to rein in the fullness,” Camellia began in a video shared with her 88k TikTok followers.
Using a hair tie, the fashion expert demonstrated the trick on a boxy, bright pink top.
Pulling the top up on one side, she put the shirt inside out.
She took a little section of the top and grabbed her hair tie.

Creating a little knot and tying it, she then flipped her top back the other way.
“Now what I’ve done is I’ve reined in the fullness, I’ve made my top a little more chic, [and] I’ve added a new design to it,” she said.
“And what this does is help create an optical illusion that will also slim down your body and help create the illusion of a waistline.”
Viewers in the comments section were grateful for the style tip, some sharing their experience using it.
