Learn a straightforward method for folding pants, suitable for keeping them neat, especially when packing for travel. This technique focuses on preparing the fly area first for a smooth fold.
Folding Pants: A Simple Method
Folding pants neatly helps save space and reduces wrinkles. Based on a video tutorial demonstrating how to fold trousers, here's a simple step-by-step approach:
- Prepare the Fly: Begin by unzipping the fly of the pants.
- Unbutton: Next, unbutton the fly.
- Turn Inward: Turn the fly area inward. This helps create a cleaner line for folding.
- Fold in Half: Fold the pants in half lengthwise, aligning the legs.
- Address Extra Fabric: Take any extra part on the side (usually the slightly uneven top section where the pockets/waistband meet the folded legs) and fold it over onto the main folded section.
- Flip: Finally, flip the folded pants over.
Following these steps results in a compact, neatly folded pair of pants ready for packing or storage. This method, highlighted in a video about folding for travel, ensures a consistent fold starting from the often bulky fly area.
