How to Tie the Sides of Your T-Shirt

Show off your curves and flat abs by knotting the sides of your t-shirt. Tying knots in the sides of your t-shirt is an easy and temporary alteration that will add spice to your wardrobe.

Things You'll Need

• A loose-fitting t-shirt

Instructions

Choosing a T-Shirt

1. Choose a loose-fitting t-shirt that is your usual size or slightly larger. A man's-cut t-shirt is perfect. Avoid choosing a women's cut t-shirt---this cut tends to be too snug for this style.

2. Put on the t-shirt as you normally would.

3. Choose a side to tie: right or left. Pull the lower portion of the t-shirt up to your midriff. Gather the material tightly off to the side you've chosen to tie.

4. Secure 2 to 3 inches of the material. Hold the base of the material secure against your side with your off hand, leaving your forefinger free. Take the end of the gathered material with your right hand and form a full loop with all the gathered material around your off hand's forefinger.

5. Pull the material tight until you have the gathered material wrapped around your off hand forefinger, but still have another inch or 2 available at the end of the gathered material. Take the remaining material and thread it through the loop you've made around your off hand forefinger.

6. Remove your off hand forefinger. Pull the gathered material completely through the loop until you have a firm knot.

Tips & Warnings

• Other variations for this style include dividing the material evenly on both sides of your midriff and tying one knot on each side of your torso. You could also gather the material in front and tie a knot just below your ribcage. Try tying the knots higher or lower along your side to offset different portions of your body.
