How to Tie Wrap Pants
Wrap pants are simple, loose-fitting pants that tie around the waist, without using a zipper or buttons. You can wear the legs of the pants in a variety of styles, depending on how long you want them and how much skin you want to show. Although wrap pants may include slightly different waistband and leg styles, most of them tie in basically the same way. You can wear wrap pants by themselves (if you make sure to tie them securely) or wear leggings, tights or even sweat pants underneath for cold weather. Does this Spark an idea?

Leave the leg openings of the wrap pants loose, or tie the lower corners of fabric on each leg together in a knot on the sides of the ankles. Or, for a more snug fit (or genie style wrap pants), bring the lower corners of fabric around to the inside of each ankle and tie them in a knot.

Tips & Warnings
Most wrap pants are designed to fit men or women in a variety of sizes. If your wrap pants have drawstrings on the top of the front and back, you may want to adjust the fullness of the fabric before tying them on. You can shorten the length of the wrap pants when you tie the knots at the sides of the legs.
To remove the wrap pants, simply untie the leg knots and the bows in the waistband.
