The video referenced suggests several techniques. Here are a few:

  1. The Side Tuck Crop:

    • Gather a section of the T-shirt on one side.
    • Twist the gathered fabric.
    • Tuck the twisted "tail" into the side of your bra strap. This creates a cropped, fitted look.
  2. Front Tie Crop:

    • Gather the hem of the T-shirt at the front.
    • Twist the gathered fabric into a "tail."
    • Tie the tail into a knot. This creates a cinched and cropped look.

General Tips for Tying T-Shirts:

  • Experiment with Placement: Try tying at different spots (center, side, back) to see what looks best.
  • Use Elastic Bands: For a more secure and adjustable tie, use small clear elastic bands to secure the fabric before knotting or tucking.
  • Consider the Fabric: Thinner, more pliable fabrics are easier to tie and manipulate.

These methods offer creative ways to style a T-shirt into a more fashionable and personalized top.
